Coach Talk

The Big Trubisky
We do respect the confidence this past week, The Big Trubisky. Deploying a player with zero points (Adam Thielen), while still earning the win... that's borderline arrogant! All we ask is to please limit those flashy shenanigans to the regular season. Try it when the playoffs roll around, and we're finished.
Soaring Seagulls
Look, we've been in this business long enough to realize that every once in a while, free points just seem to magically appear out of thin air. Then sometimes, like in your case this week, they don't! Okay, okay... hoping for an extra 20 points may be a bit overzealous. Keep your head held high, Soaring Seagulls!
