I can't believe the sport that has a 7 game series and one player has the most impact has less parity than a single elimination playoff sport

Also the sport with a strong player's union and that doesn't treat its players like chattel.

At least the NHL this year has 2 teams that have never won, and just had a super awesome first game of the final.

Having the beat player in the sport means a lot less in hockey since hed only on the ice for like 20 minutes a game.

I am in a sports league that plays a different sport every week. We dominate every week, except yesterday where we played flag football. None of us can really throw the ball [Canadian]. We got destroyed by another team that had a really athletic dude playing QB.

What I am trying to say is football is a QB dominated sport.

Have you considered that quarterbacks arent always the best and perhaps it's a team effort?

Vegas' early success is way more a testament to how bad GMs really are at evaluating talent than it is a gift from the league. The expansion draft was a more than fair process with multiple outs for teams to protect their best players

Isn't vegas a team of guys that were almost all B squad guys from elsewhere? I was under the impression it's a team full of the best backups from everywhere else but no one who was really an established superstar.

They don't have a superstar but they don't have any glaring holes and are very deep.

They lucked into Marc-Andre Fleury due to a crazy unusual circumstance where the reigning Stanley Cup champs had 2 1st rate goalies. It's much easier to go deep in the NHL playoffs when you have a shutdown goalie who has already won 3 Cups like MAF

It definitely has to be in the back of his mind. I've never seen Ovechkin play with the Want To that he's displayed this year, but he was invisible last night. Gotta wonder if his decade of failure vs MAF has him shook

I think you're gonna see teams give up way more rookies and prospects than established players next time around. Like Vegas has 5 former Penguins, 4 of them with Cup Final experience, 3 of them Cup winners. That amount of veteran presence is huge

I wonder if you took your pick of the best NFL 2nd stringers to build a full 55 man roster how well you'd do. I don't think you'd have any individual outstanding performances, but you'd have such depth that you'd dominate the second half of the season. I think they'd be an instant contender. I like the idea.

What would count as second-stringers for positions like WR or CB?

I think it would have to be 8 teams with one new team in each current division and an expansion to a 22 game schedule (20 games minimum) to keep the same scheduling format and division balance.

edit: or, more likely:

8 new teams in two new divisions so you would still only have 6 games against division rivals (instead of upping that to 8) and then add one new game where you would play the team of the same in-division record (there would be one more division to pull from)? And this would be adding a division to the rotation of playing a different division from same and other conference every year?

Change the scheduling format, double the roster size, fewer regular season games, more post season games, do something (anything at all really) about the fact you're turning brains to pudding and hanging people out to dry after 1.5 years, and stop being racist shitheads.

Basically the NFL is dead in 5 years.

I don't know if that'll actually happen with an expansion. I'm convinced a good portion of washouts never received proper coaching and development and could have been successful on another team where they got more development time.

Instead of tackles, the defensive player must grab a flag from the waistband of the offensive player in possession of the ball. This done, a contest is held wherein both players recite a short poem, be it memorized or improvised, and a qualified official determines which is the most beautiful. Thus it will be determined if the player was tackled or not. If one player takes a knee to emphasize a specific line or theme in their poem, they will be shot.
