No, they're trying to be better than you. That's not true defense. Their trying has no direct effect on your ability to succeed.

In motorsports there are some people who actively try to stop you...

I don't get it. What's to defend? The kid's a good prospect having a terrific year in the AHL.

Anticipatory defending of stolarz.

I am probably Leight here but no hearing for Gudas:

That news is as Gudas it can get.

Having played both extensively, I have to disagree.

So you think that swinging a bat 1/18th of the time (on average), and standing still (more or less) for about 85% of the half game in the field with short bursts of energy is more athletically demanding than traveling a few miles by foot? I'd argue that there are way more calories lost by playing golf (professional, no carts) than baseball.

Yeah, but they die.

There's little mention of it but it looks like stolarz will make his first NHL start this week. Looking forward to it

I wouldn't be shocked if they swap him for Labarbera before this weekend.

He was underwhelming.

Yeah, but they die.

Yes, I mentioned that. That's a place where my "there must be active defense" - among other things - to be a sport breaks down. I don't consider auto racing of any kind to be a sport.

Auto racing is most definitely a sport and while we are on the topic, I believe it requires more toughness than golf and baseball

No. No. No.

Game. Activity. Activity.

- Feanor

That would suck to do that to him imo. Why wouldn't they just recall labarbera if they had no intentions on playing him?

breaking news to hockeybuzz is a sport, and I lost

I think there's a non-quantifiable amount of physical exertion that must be expended, whether in quick bursts or over a long time, that must occur for it to be a sport. The "active" or "direct"?) defense, to me, isn't required. To me.

Toughness? nah

Guts? Sure. Intestinal fortitude? Yep. Concentration? Yes.

No. No. No.

Game. Activity. Activity.

But they require physical activity, and there are people actively and directly trying to stop you.

Lack of teeth, family history of alcoholism, and several incestuous experiences during your teen years (aka "kindergarten")? Yes.

Off topic...slippery slope gif is hilarious to google

I think 20 is the most they can. Don't ask me why, it just is.

There has been more than one suspension for on ice conduct that exceeded 20 games.
