Just found you guys. You're all really good, and really good together. I'll be checking in. That said.. Brian, You're wrong about the Wilson goal. Rask was deep, but he had to be. watch the highlight again and you'll see Sprong was on his right ready to receive a tip in the pass. he had to stay deep if he had any chance to get across on that one. regardless the shot was perfect as much as I hate to say something like that about a douchebag like Wilson. anyway, keep up the good work and I'll be checking in. Thanks
