    I mean, I still think we'll win the series, and make a deeper run. Doesn't mean we won't make it as tough on ourselves as possible, though. Rags are fucked if Lundqvist can't go. They're probably fucked even if he can go.

    I'd say tonight we see which Caps team is coming to play this year, but we all know it'll probably go 7 regardless.

    I still feel like the Titans should have gotten a little more. Given what we gave up in 2012 to move up from #6 to #2 (essentially swapping picks in the 1st, but giving up a 2nd and two more 1sts), I figured going up from #15 to #1 would cost more than what the Rams are giving up (swapping...

    Would be curious to see the breakdown of which years they were in the positive and the negative. Lol @ including Boston, Cup was like 5 years ago. It also required the greatest goaltending in the playoffs and three Game 7's to happen.

    The funniest thing about the Palmer trades is how much the Raiders gave up and how little they got, versus how little Arizona gave up and how much they got out of him.

    Don't disagree at all with this, but this isn't exactly a deep WR draft. Wouldn't be keen on taking a RB at #2 either.

    I actually think it would be smart to shore up their line. What's the point of taking "the guy" at QB if you can't protect him? Plus I'd get on Gordon's ass to stop smoking the shit for a bit (probably won't work though).

    I expect better overall results (I mean really, the bar is about as low as it could be to clear), but their QB situation has them backed into a corner. It's usually not a sure thing even picking ones at the top of the draft, and I could have sworn a couple of months before the season was over...

    "if" is funny. We're only 2 years removed from 2014 when they had picks #4 and #26. They trade down from #4 to #9 because Buffalo wanted to move up to take Watkins (gaining Buffalo's 2015 1st round pick, and a 2014 4th round pick in the process). Instead of taking OBJ or Aaron Donald at #9...

    Was it confirmed Smith was unarmed while he was shot in the back? If so, I'll keep waiting for the part of the story where that was necessary. Last I heard they found a gun in his car, not that he was threatening to shoot it. This story keeps unfolding like a bad episode from True Detective...

    I'm basically in agreement with you. I think 600 happens after two more years. He's at 525 already. 75 in the next two is averaging below 40 a year. But after that, he's got to fall off at some point, it's going to happen. If he plays 8 more years, I think he almost certainly hits 700. If...

    I think Stamkos would be a threat to hit 60+ (or would have been a couple of years ago), and guys like Sid, Benn, and Tarasenko would be threats for 50 goals a lot more as well if they were all playing in that era. I just think the fact he's done it 7 times in this era is roughly on par with...

    Obviously it's a good move for Denver. It's just not a bad one for the Jets in the very short/immediate term, given the sudden hole at the position. He was never going to bring back a lot, but I think the return was decent and you move that money

    Their possession numbers actually look extremely good most likely over their last 10-15 games. But again, a lot of those models are based on results of the last ~25 games or so, which the Caps have had nothing to play for over the majority of that span and have seen a predictable dip in their...

    Can't help but love seeing them grind out wins like they have too. Keeping clean sheets and always finding a way to squeeze out a goal, although Vardy did make it 2-0 very late today, it's just their year.

    So Clady to the Jets? Heard they're sending a 5th to Denver but getting a 7th in return as well as Clady. Old and coming off injury, but given what they gave up, not a terrible fill in move I suppose.
