How many times are we going to go back over this.

Without Ben Smith, who is going to win 51% of the one important faceoff he needs to take per game?

I think he's doing a lot that of things very well that may not always show up on the stat sheet, but help open the ice and generate a lot of the chances I've seen Marner get. I would say that is far from sucking.

I don't actually mind Bozak as a player. I want to see what the kids develop into before making a determination on whether or not trading down from konecny was the first choice.

JFJ might have been bad but today's management group is looking really good with the assets their inherited. We should keep Bill Ny.

I don't know, I'd probably trade him. Could get a nice 2/3 pairing dman to help stabilize the back end.

It sounded pretty laid back to me. Just shooting pucks at stuff. You could tell Toews was used to the camera. Matthews is a kid, go back and watch those Crosby rookie ads and behind the scenes, no different.

I liked the ad, like the fact that the just shot pucks at a bunch of crap around the rink.

Do you remember the ad from the all star game with Sid and Ovie and I'm pretty sure Kessel is in a luggage cart?

Crosby at the end is like Ovechkin! With a weird grin..... now that was cringe worthy

Is that god damn (frank)ing female genitaliay poop eating female dog face Gronkowski ever not injured?

He was no Mike Smith, that's for sure...

Couldn't hurt with how poorly Rielly is playing

I wonder if he turns out to be as good as advertised

OHHH today is a big day. Bruiniak's time out ends. I wonder if he returns with his wisdom.

Oh Jesus H. Christ

In the two "cheating" instances they were literally doing what every other team did and you know it.

You can (frank) the Pats all you want. I'm upset for fantasy purposes. But the Cowboys!? C'mon maaaaaan.

I've been rooting for them ever since I played Madden 94 on the super nintendo! (They were freaking invincible!)

- RickJames77

Really?

Every team deflates the ball they're going to use before an important game?

I FEEL LIKE THIS CAN'T BE RIGHT!

(I do think they would have won anyway and it didn't change anything btw)

Totally! That's exactly what I told my (first) wife. Stupid female genitalia thought I was still responsible for my own actions.

preferably look at the last sentence

Let me know if you want some enlightenment on "spygate" while we're at it too

The advanced stats nerds are. Just like he said.

Todd Cordell used it in the hotstove blog yesterday, I had a good chuckle

1% is very significant

“It’s not an advantage when you have a football that’s inflated more than average air pressure. We’re not kicking these footballs,” Rodgers said, via Rob Demovsky of ESPN.com.

I feel like this is more important!

If it wasn't an advantage then why does he do it? Does he intentionally put himself at a disadvantage? Doubtful

Being Tom Brady is like playing life on NHL17's rookie gameplay setting where the average gamer can win 17-0 while eating a sandwich.

Maybe he does, just to make things interesting?
