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.

I don't know exactly what our faceoff percentage is by tf86
But I would bet it's under 40%. And it would be much worse than it is without Epple and Landis on the wings for faceoffs. I don't want to knock Finley or any of our other FOGO guys, but I would think that bringing in a stud FOGO guy is a must.
Strictly mho, but I think if we had won merely 40% of our faceoffs this year, we likely would have an unbeaten squad. 1 loss at most.
Edit to add: after checking stats at und.com, I stand corrected. We're .506 on faceoffs for the year. Sure doesn't seem like it, but that certainly blows my theory out of the water.
