Coach Talk

Fins4Life
Well, we do appreciate the confidence this past week, Fins4Life. It takes real moxie to start a player with zero points (Chris Hogan), while still getting the win! We just ask you to please keep that flashy, show-off type of stuff to the regular season. Do it in the playoffs and we're toast.
FrankieFourFingers
Tis the season, FrankieFourFingers! We hope the GM of Fins4Life will send a thank-you card for the generous 131.6-point gift this past week.
