Pressure might have helped Chelsea, too.

The entire discussion also speaks to an issue that was clear at the start of the season when they were ready to play domestically and in the Champions League: Spurs lack of quality depth. It will still haunt them next year unless they can bloat the squad with more quality.

Just remember: that Range Rover is leased and Diane pays the Irvine Company with money orders. It’s all an illusion...

And all largely down to great coaching and a 5'5" dynamo who tackles and intercepts everything on the pitch.

Right. Taking nothing away from Spurs, but this was just one of those years where a team killed it and ran away from the pack.

Probably? As in better than 50%? The record for most points in a season by a team in the Premier League era is 95 by Chelsea in 2005. They win Saturday and Chelsea finishes with 93 points. No one was beating Chelsea this year.

They miss Letang more than anything.

I like you. Always have.

Marriages grow stale. You have to spice them up.

You had me at Matty Norstrom.

And you spent 3 minutes checking the links because you got mine.

I was thinking the same thing reading his quote about managing the bench chirping. The man did an excellent job starting from when he was hired. And no: it isn’t just because of his top 6 that the Pens are successful. He’s an enormous part of their turn around.

I added the 11 month part because, you know, straw man and whatnot:

Answer: The South

And I’m not arguing Karlsson isn’t a better player than Burns. I agree that he is and would much rather have Karlsson than Burns at any stage of his career. But Norris is a single-season award.

They had pretty similar years points-wise with Burns having a slightly higher PPG. I’m not sure why his last month-and-a-half makes him totally undeserving of the Norris.

So, say, Brent Burns winning would be totally undeserved?

This is fantastic. Thank you.
