The 30 for 30 on how the 2026 Tampa Bay Lightning had the MVP, Vezina and Jack Adams award winners, didn't win the division, and lost in the first round of the playoffs is going to be outstanding. The changing job by Cooper really was remarkable. Would appear he held them (and team Canada) back.
You're a football guy, so to me it's sort of that qq of, when is it no longer OK to throw when you're up four tuddies at the half by dint of great qb play?
If you keep throwing, but now those passes are incompletions, the clock isn't running and you're giving the ball back. And if you stop throwing/start running, and the D is stopping the run, that strategy won't work either.
Which option is the better coaching move?

Insane how bad they drove a Rolles Royce off a cliff since Jimbo left, Bowden built a foundation of excellence that seemed impossible to destroy but somehow they have … so sad 😞

If the #pirates had even a mildy competent D in my opinion they’d have 5/6 more wins and I’ve watched every game this year. One may argue they’d have even more but I’ll be conservative. But the defense is putrid and constantly lets down elite SP outings #letsgobucs frustrating AF
#Pirates insider @JMackey_PGH doesn't think Braxton Ashcraft will throw 180-190 innings and thinks number will be closer to 150.
He thinks there is a chance Ashcraft goes to the bullpen later this year to manage his innings!
That can't happen, he's been the Bucs best starter.
