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.

Travisano won 50% of his face-offs yesterday. by irishdoc01
He went 9/18 yesterday against the best face-off man in the history of college lacrosse.
While I generally agree with your sentiment, I thought face-offs were a huge win for the Irish yesterday compared to what Baptiste did to the Irish in the playoffs last year.
Of the other 6:
Hyland went 0/4. He is the young face-off guy. His career has been plagued by injuries to date.
Sexton went 0/1 when sent up as a sacrificial lamb with two men in the penalty box.
Leonard went 0/1.
We could debate why Travisano doesn't take all the face-offs, but so far he's living up to his preseason all ACC billing.
