    Not very well. They suck. Reinforcements urgently needed. Maybe the SkyRay will turn them around.

    Round 1 rest of the east

    Bob with some great saves at the end to let the Panthers hold on. Ticky tack penalty call on the Bolts that led to the game changing goal. Vasy looked very good. TB had a good chance to steal this one. Gotta get some more sustained offense—had a few bursts but long quiet stretches.

    Lightning have been on fire since the trade deadline. Vasy back in form, Kuch pushing for the Hart, deadline acquisitions have been outstanding. Going to be a great series.

    The Tommy John Epidemic

    It’s not really just about max effort. “Max effort” is a shorthand for max effort enabled by driveline style training techniques that are causing velocity and spin rates to increase to levels that weren’t previously achievable by a given player. Guys who would have thrown 91 twenty years ago are...
