Coach Talk

GibraltarRock
Listen, GibraltarRock, we do certainly appreciate the confidence. It's a bold move to roll out a starter with zero points (Tyler Higbee), while still earning the W! We just ask you to please limit those flashy shenanigans to the regular season. Try it when the playoffs roll around, and we'll be finished.
