Once again, E. is brilliant!

"Now, to a certain extent, Laviolette’s little ploy was effective. It got everybody bitching and whining about the trap again, because hockey fans have the attention span of hyperactive gnats and DEFENSE IS BOOOOOOOORING. It gave the Flyers that little extra shot of dickish insouciance they need every season to keep them from turning into the Blues. And it made Laviolette look clever rather than incompetent, which is what he would have looked like had he tried to break the trap and failed. Nevertheless, we here at the Theory did not really approve of Laviolette’s behavior, because we did not believe that ‘Act Like a Big Whiny Baby’ was a valid coaching strategy."
