"Brad Winchester playing on a line with Perron and Berglund is like the fat kid who you invite to play one day because you didn't have enough skaters, yet you don't have the heart to tell them to leave the next few times you play. Damn you Andy Murray." -Author Unknown

ESPN must be on some damn good crack.

BTW, the newest arrival to the SB Nation family is going to seriously give Falconer and the stat heads at BWA a run for their money. Wow. I am digging it.

And if I adopted another cat, Oshie would pop into my head for a name, buts orry – I think Walt would probably fit the disposition of most of my pets better. They eat constantly.
