The Pens handled business in the exact amount of games needed for me to just make it out of boot camp in time to watch the last game to complete the back to back run.
Chills this will forever be special to me.

Sprawling is outdated and overrated. Wrestling has evolved, and we should be teaching downblocks first. not just flopping our hips back and hoping for the best. If your head gets beat, the answer isnโt to sprawl and hang. itโs to meet your opponent with pressure, then release that pressure to stuff and slide off the shot. Itโs quicker, keeps you in position to reattack, and gives you way more control over the exchange. Sprawling slows you down, kills your transitions, and gives your opponent a better chance to recover. At the highest levels, it's not about defending. itโs about turning defense into offense, and sprawling just doesnโt get you there fast enough.
Disclosure: I always sucked at sprawling so my opinion may be slightly bias ๐
