The paywall discussion has been interesting, but it's threatening to derail this Merzlikins thread, so I would politely request it be brought to a conclusion. Thanks.
Please just one more comment...
BlahBlah, I will refrain from linking to the articles but from time to time I do/will refer to something I read there.
As for whether the content is good, views on AP, etc, its that the content is different. TA is great for long form articles and storytelling. I am not reading TA for "so and so is on the trading block", I can get that on Twitter. But AP writing an article about Oliver Bjorkstrand, how he learned to play hockey as a kid, how he ended up scouted/drafted by the CBJ and how he progressed to where he is now and where he might be headed. That's not having inside sources...that's research and leg work doing interviews, and then good writing. That was a great article!
And Ari Wasserman does a solid job of this for OSU and Pat McManaon for the Browns. LOVED the recent story about The Scottish Hammer and John Dorsey and their connection (if you are a Browns fan). Quality journalism.
OK...now back to Elvis. "The road to love is filled with....danger signs"
I honestly thought Korpi would go to camp as the starter but Elvis would win at least a 50-50 split. At this point Korpi has looked solid and I think he starts the season getting the bulk of the playing time.
