Ties suck. Please champion my OT idea: No kickoff, coin toss winner decides to pick a yard line or allow the opponent to pick a yard line. Then other team decides to take the ball at that yard line or have the opponent start there (respective sides, of course). First team to score wins.

Mark it, this is the kinda guy who will miss time with a difficult to diagnose injury this season. My guess..plantar fasciitis. Trade this fool for a mid-round pick asap and move on.

They're technically further than they've ever been in the Matthews era yet I still feel..nothing? Even worse than that, I feel a strange vindication when they lose like they did yesterday. Why am I not totally jacked for these games the way I should be? 15 year old me would be ashamed of this guy.

As a Leafs fan who enjoys your work immensely, I'm just going to pretend this doesn't exist.

He's been atrocious so far

How many rich losers does it take to screw in a light bulb?

Instead of the whole country, can we just give them the Leafs so we can all move on with our lives?

Awesome! Long overdue.

Perhaps a fresh approach to create some combos that might actually, you know, score in the playoffs? I'm happy to sacrifice a few meaningless goals against Western Conference opponents in January to try something new.

For example, KC wins the ot coin toss. Defers to Buffalo. Bills choose the 10 yard line. Then KC decides if they want to either take the ball at their own 10 or let the Bills start at their 10. First score wins.

Yes, I'm a damaged Bills fan.

Thoughts on my proposal to remove the OT kickoff (and the associated luck with it): coin flip..winner decides to pick or defer..corresponding team picks a yard line and the other team decides to either take the ball from there or have the other team start on their side of that same yard marker

He has no business being out there. Better off with a practice squad body. Guy has zero athleticism.

To be fair, Robertson is useless in the bottom 6. That's not his role. He needs an extended look on one of the top two lines. Unlikely he gets that opportunity here though.

Agreed. Wish they had this sorted out in that game

This is a shot at them re Bengals playoff loss, right?

You know he's doing play by play off of a tv for half the games, right? Don't be ageist. He's still miles better than many of his peers.

It's gotta be something else, right? Another concussion perhaps?

No, he means Al Michaels. They're watching the game together in Al's basement.

Awful offensive strategy at the end there. A bubble screen might be the worst possible playcall you can make there. So stupid.
