Came here to star the first person to say this.

Fighting seems to have become more of a regularity in the playoffs the last 3-4 years.  

The dialogue might have been really, really good but the delivery by Groff was terrible. I thought he ruined this show.

I would love to see fake tough guy Sergio Ramos get all finger-jabby with Sadio Mané only for Mané to...

So...to do that move in a tie game, short-handed, in the middle of the playoff push takes balls of steel. I give it that. But this move has been done over and over again. I coach squirt hockey and half the kids on that team already have this mastered. If we are talking goal of the year this does not top Sid’s double…

Yeah I was going to say this. Sorta like referring to Michael Jordan as an ex-Wizard. Technically true but very misleading.

Arrested Development really nailed it with their Burger King tie ins.

True but he was part of the best episodes.

Written by someone who hates live music and is so unable to engage in the experience they simply want to check the box of life that they saw [insert groundbreaking indie band name here] live without having to endure more than a sitcom length of commitment.

Hindsight being what it is it still seems like there were enough red flags for this not to go through, notably, like you said - his age and style of play. I’m not a doctor but this had the markings of a degenerative hip 10 months ago. At least he had 1 good season.

How did the initial trade to the Cavs even get approved? Don’t they have to pass some sort of physical?

Yes and I’d add N’Golo Kante. Without him bossing the midfield and allowing the counter-attacking style to work you get Leicester 16/17.

Yes I agree with you. And you could argue (against my own previous point) that paying a NHL franchise fee is that exact thing - a massive cash infusion. And all things being equal once they’re in the big leagues the NHL is certainly an easier league to win given what everyone else has mentioned e.g. salary cap,…

You could argue the reverse actually. LCFC ran afoul of the FFP rules for Championship teams but were able to invest through their owner and lead sponsor (King Power) because they were in the Premier League. Still paling in comparison to the big clubs yes, but making a jump from nobody to champions in such a short…

Very true. A lot had to go right for LCFC not least of which was the ineptitude of the Manchester clubs, Arsenal, Liverpool and Chelsea all season. By March Spurs were the only team pushing for the title.

Vegas being the equivalent of a “newly promoted side” I’d say VGK winning the cup - Leicester had been in the the Prem for 2 seasons.

This seems...misguided. If you are about to play at least two more games against a team and you clearly overmatch them on talent maybe piling on is not the best idea. The OHL isn’t as fight-infested as say the NAHL or minor leagues like the ECHL but make no mistake there are plenty of guys in this league looking to…

Yeah the perfect toe drag out of the mess of skates was so subtle and so impressive.

Seriously. The person looking the worst in all of this is Hoke by a far.

This isn’t “Zlatan being Zlatan” - this is branding. Sad, pathetic, squeeze-every-last-dollar branding.
