For most years, the total arrest rate for the general population was one and a half to two times as high as the total rate for NFL players

Also, whatever the real felon number is, how many are DUI and Pot Charges..... there are felonies and then there are FELONIES.

Who'd think being under constant scrutiny where the slightest slip could cost you your insanely short-lived but well paying career would have guys (overwhelmingly, but not all) behave?

the author also switched gears...went from 871 convicted felons to "that leaves 825 without a criminal record"

misdemeanors show up on your criminal record

oh, and forgot to add, who ever wrote that seems like a jackass as well

They could sure use Carter Hutton right about now

Allen: .882

Ocho: .903

Hutton is league average right now.

True, but he's been solid. Weird 2nd goal against the Ducks, but that was the first "groaner" he let in so far this year that I can remember.

At 2.75m that is what we should expect. He isn't going to ever be top10 in sv% again, unless our team propels him there.

I agree. I like ullmarks game a lot right now. Gaa, save percentage and w/l aside, His body positioning looks really good. He has learned how to keep his torso facing the play. He may overplay the puck a bit still, everyone does, but his body positioning is always leaving him ready for the next move. He looks solid. I wouldn’t be surprised or mad if he ended up with half or more of the starts this year and if he does I’m sure it will be well deserved.

No issue with him at all, seems like a perfect fit for this team. Just found it interesting that he's exact league average.

This early in the season it only takes one game to skew averages. He got left in for the blowout against Colorado. Doesn’t bother or worry me one bit. He’s looked good imo.

Could have had this guy:

"Right now, I said to the management and stuff too, I would," Johnson said. "I would come back. As tough as a year as it was for myself and my family - I take everything home with me, I'm not that guy that can just flip the page - I would. But I have to be shown that.

"… I'd have to see the change, whether it's through players or somehow convince me through contracts, through whatever it is, then I would. Because I do believe that the organization wants to win, that they'll do anything they can to win."

Chad, you WERE the change

Anyone ever think about how we could have let Vegas just take Ullmark instead of trading a 6th for them to take Carrier?

What a move.
