@ThomasDrance @behindthenet But he gave up a last-minute tying goal! So, Mike Richter, also unclutch in 1994 against the Devils.
Better example for “Canada won despite Lu” crew. RT @behindthenet: Or Martin Brodeur is clutch in the Cup finals but not in the Olympics.
My @sportingnews column on Zach Parise, Ryan Suter and the folly of frenzy: http://t.co/y9YlXcHZ
For instance: Roberto Luongo is clutch in an Olympic gold medal game, but unclutch on the same rink in Game 7 of the Finals? I don’t buy it.
@OptimumScouting - Sounds fair to me, I just did not view S. Hill & G. Little as similar. Keep up the good work.
Go figure. First full day back visiting NOLA and there is more Sean Payton news. Tough offseason for both his families #Saints
If “clutch” means “elevated performance in a small sample of key situations,” then I suppose that yes, “clutch” is a thing.
You can’t. That’s the point. RT @Fredmidio: How can you be clutch in any sport?
So if Pirates and Reds tie for NL Central, does one say, "We're not really mentally prepared to play another lgame" and cede playoff spot?

In this week's guest MMQB, Coby Fleener talks Rookie Symposium, going to camp http://t.co/PiWIjl4F ... Insightful job, @cobyfleener. Thanks.
But Wilson much better leader and tougher on tape.If Bray emerges as leader, learns to hang tough in pocket he's a 1st RD talent...HUGE if's
UT QB Tyler Bray is far superior to ARK QB Tyler Wilson in size potential, arm strength and most importantly accuracy.
Wilson is interesting to monitor in 2012. He will nail leadership portion of test but can he improve accuracy/decisions with turnover at WR?
But TWilson must limit forced throws. His feet are too loose which=erratic throws. Arm strength is adequate but not as advertised by some...
Ark QB TWilson- much better pocket mobility than expected. Good job with progressions. Also makes many accurate, snap throws when scrambling
@norcalvol Didn't see it this time - maybe the next. At some point, could totally see myself living in SF.

@CRM_Stephen I won't know because I'm not watching anymore. But, if they reveal who has the time machine, please let me know. Cool thanks.
@CRM_Stephen I know. That scene was out of 1996. I hate myself for falling so hard for that show.
@lindsapple I know. I started taking Game of Thrones for granted, played aloof, stopped returning texts. Time to start groveling. Again.
I wonder what, if anything, the Devils having Marty Brodeur around for two more years does for Zach Parise's upcoming decision.
RT @TramyersCSN: Yep… RT @DarrenDreger: As many of us predicted, the Devils have stepped up and are offering Martin Brodeur a 2 year contract.
@lindsapple I wanted to hug the premiere, hold it, tell it it's pretty, meet its parents. That's what I get for falling in love too quickly.
