Message: [QUOTE="relaxer, post: 4403270, member: 7852"] I don't know why you seem so intent to die on this hill. Lyle wasn't Joey Sankey or Billy Bitter, but he had very good foot speed, which combined with his otherworldly vision and stick skills made him an uber recruit. And regardless of what attributes he used to do it, Lyle was a great dodger who could consistently win a one-on-one matchup. That's ultimately what I mean by a game-breaking skillset; usually that requires a certain level of foot speed and athleticism, but it's really about the end result of being able to beat your man one-on-one. In the opening round of the 2014 NCAA tournament, he eviscerated Joe Fletcher (Schmeisser Award winner as the top defenseman in the nation) time and again like no one had ever done before. [/QUOTE]
