In the O BUMP! With Brandon Sudeyko

Is It a Gift... or a Curse?… (Part 1)
By: Brandon Sudeyko

Over the past couple weeks during the now infamous, shooout, involving myself and Thayne Hallyburton there has been a specific comment brought up each and every week. The In The O… BUMP!
What started off as just a cool lil notch in the belt so to speak, may actually be a lot more. It could even in fact be a Curse as one recent player was sidelined due to injury. This got me thinking a bit and I will put it in your hands to Judge.
To decide whether there is an ITO Bump or not is basically judge by their stats. Maybe a player who never scores a goal got one? ITO Bump! Maybe a goaltender gets a shutout? ITO Bump! Or maybe the player gets suspended or injured… ok not so much a bump as a roadblock to success.

SO here is the criteria that qualifies a player to be judged on whether or not they are a recipient of the ITO Bump
1.    Interviewed by myself, Brandon Sudeyko, and no one else from the ITO Staff
2.    Over the Phone Interview, no postgame, Top Prospect, Live interview etc.
3.    The period of time is 2 weeks from the interview date

It is as simple as that. So lets break it down.
