This is not a vent board or any other kind of therapy. Before you hit the POST button, ask yourself if your contribution will add to the level of discussion going on.
Important notes on articles:
- Please do not copy entire articles into your post; rather, provide links to them.. We are now links-only for ALL Internet publications. If only a small portion of the article pertains to your post, Fair Use allows you to copy those one or two paragraphs, provided you cite the author's name and the publication for which he writes. Otherwise, put a link in the HTTP Link box.
- Even if you're copying a reference to an article, provide a link to the page from which the article came. We're trying to cut down on duplicate topics, and the posting process will check the link to your article to see if it's already being discussed on this board. At the very least, you'll save yourself some grief on the boards.
- If your first reaction after reading the article you're going to share is the author is uninformed / stupid / a jerk / all of the above, it's not worth sharing with anyone. Not every article needs to be discussed. The more the hair-pulling articles are discussed (e.g. ESPN Page 2), the more the authors will write hair-pulling articles.

He wasn't getting fired. He just signed an extension. by steelhop
Hopkins had all kinds of issues this year. Their defense was going to be a huge work in progress. It only returned one long stick defenseman and one SSDM that played last year. The other two spots were filled by a freshman and junior transfer. Their starting LSM is a freshman that played attack in HS. Naturally, their clearing game was awful. Their goalie is a sophmore but not very good regardless.
But, before the year even started this year, they lost their 2 top middies for the year - one to NCAA violation, the other blew out his ACL. By 3/4 games in they had lost two additional top 6 middies and then lost another 2 line middie for a few weeks. So at one point, they only had 2 of their top 9 middies playing.
