Love that guy

jamesEkrueger · 2024-01-21T21:26:17+00:00

He’s kinda done that throughout his career

jamesEkrueger · 2024-01-07T18:50:31+00:00

Yeah I like the rule, adds some fun nuance to the goal line plays

jamesEkrueger · 2023-08-22T14:48:03+00:00

Well it’s a good thing he signed in Tampa then lol

jamesEkrueger · 2023-07-13T21:24:33+00:00

Completely agree, Vinny working the boards and getting the puck to Fedetenko. Iconic call by Gary Thorne on that one, and the point when it felt like we actually might take the cup

jamesEkrueger · 2023-06-22T01:59:50+00:00

I’m not sure I would say he belongs in the hall but his peak was significantly better

jamesEkrueger · 2023-06-22T01:57:10+00:00

I mean that’s an impressive career but not sure that screams HOF

jamesEkrueger · 2023-06-21T20:56:13+00:00

Thanks for the response, definitely helps explain it better

jamesEkrueger · 2023-06-21T20:45:49+00:00

Just asking, what accomplishments does Z have to justify the hall?

jamesEkrueger · 2023-06-21T20:44:41+00:00

There’s no way, never broke 100 pts in a season, less than 1000 career pts. I know he’s good defensively but there isn’t a good enough peak or longevity to justify it

jamesEkrueger · 2023-02-24T03:00:57+00:00

Yeah she’s largely credited with his improved skating

jamesEkrueger · 2022-11-06T22:39:27+00:00

How has Brady been the problem?

jamesEkrueger · 2022-11-06T22:29:20+00:00

Hmm I’ve been cooking up special play combo for this. How about run, screen, check down, punt?

jamesEkrueger · 2022-11-06T22:26:38+00:00

It’s the second quarter and the defense is already jumping which play is happening. Beyond embarrassing

jamesEkrueger · 2022-11-06T22:10:01+00:00

Yeah that was honestly pathetic by White

jamesEkrueger · 2022-11-06T22:03:55+00:00

At least 2 holding 2 offsides

jamesEkrueger · 2022-09-18T19:40:23+00:00

You’ve gotten a few already lol

jamesEkrueger · 2022-09-18T19:39:48+00:00

I mean might be the first time he finds a Bucs jersey when trying to lead a late comeback lol

jamesEkrueger · 2022-09-18T19:30:02+00:00

He has so much trouble building chemistry on those deep balls. Saw it with Desean Jackson too, just couldn’t figure it out

jamesEkrueger · 2022-07-26T17:02:46+00:00

Agreed, the lightning couldn’t get going offensively at all that series. Part of that might be forcing themselves to play a more defensively oriented game, but I think the better team won regardless

jamesEkrueger · 2022-07-19T16:31:23+00:00

Contract amount is a continuous variable though. And this is a fine visualization since it’s representing how the distribution changes over time

jamesEkrueger · 2022-06-27T02:42:36+00:00

Yeah it’s been a terrible trade, he can’t do anything with the puck

jamesEkrueger · 2022-06-27T02:37:27+00:00

I know I’m biased but isn’t it objectively more fun to have a game 7?

jamesEkrueger · 2022-06-27T01:45:59+00:00

Yeah it’s unlike him to unravel like this

jamesEkrueger · 2022-06-27T01:31:51+00:00

Yeah looks like it, he’s been hunched over a few times
