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.

The Kelly analogy may not be apt here by flanner96

When we lost the title game in OT in 2010, off the draw, Corrigan said something to the effect of "I should have had a wing come down" meaning he should have had someone in position to get in Costabile's way so he didn't have a clear path to the goal.

I don't have data to back it up, but after that game, our faceoff philosophy started to change. Now, our wings crash down hard on the ball almost all the time. It's one of the reasons we defend so well-- we're already in our ride right off the faceoff, so even if the other team gets the ball, they're already under pressure. If you ask me, Corrigan has adapted his face off outlook to get the most out of his players and neutralize guys like Ben Williams and Baptiste (to an extent). That adaptation hasn't shown up in our football coach's special teams playbook.
