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.

Evaluating goalie play is really hard, but yes that was. by Fightorflight
And Schmidt knew it. It happens. He would absolutely stop that shot 9/10 times. I watched my son this week in the MD lacrosse playoffs have a shot blocked in a tie game with a minute to go. I swear he has scored 20 goals in the last 2 years on that exact same play. But right then, in crunch time, he failed to convert and he feels like he failed his team. They lost by giving up a goal with 27 secs to go. It’s horrible to feel one play you know you SHOULD make, that you make over and over again, has such an overweighted influence on a game’s outcome. There are so few champions, and 95% of all participants end their season losing, but the lessons learned as players and as fans hopefully make us all find some room for positive growth.
