If TB wins two rounds next year, maybe even just one, those articles are going to change up pretty fast: Ryan McDonagh: The Key to the Bolts Elite Defense.

Let's face it.

Most of the media don't even watch the games.

Remember Alex Kovalev saying he saw Bruce Garrioch at the airport picking up his suitcase full of beer? 🤭

I get wanting to get most of the band back together, but I hink a better return on Gourde is available, especially at the deadline if Seattle's out of it. Even more especially with retention, imo.
