Useless Thread MMVIII: Playoff Refereeing Appreciation Thread

Round 4, No. 123: Jack Sawyer, Edge, Ohio State
My take: With T.J. Watt, Alex Highsmith and Nick Herbig already in the fold, the Steelers didn't need to use their highest Day 3 pick on an outside linebacker, but Sawyer's value was too good to pass up. Sawyer not only has a knack for making big plays in big moments (see: Cotton Bowl strip sack for the game-sealing touchdown), but his addition continues the Steelers' trend of strengthening the run defense through this year's draft.
 
You never cared about that before.

And we doubt that your antisocial hermit ass will be having unexpected company drop in.

SUNRISE, Fla. (AP) — The Tampa Bay Lightning were in an early hole against the Florida Panthers, again.

In the first two games of their first-round playoff series, that spelled disaster for Tampa Bay.

Not this time.

The Lightning turned the deficit into a rout in Game 3, beating the Panthers 5-1 Saturday and tightening the series to 2-1.

Andrei Vasilevskiy was nearly perfect, stopping 33 of 34 shots, and the Lightning got goals from Jake Guentzel, Brayden Point, Nick Paul and Luke Glendening. Anthony Cirelli added an empty-netter with five minutes left, and Nikita Kucherov had three assists.
 
Barkov played on Saturday, along with Panthers defenseman Aaron Ekblad, who returned from a 20-game suspension for violating the NHL and NHL Players’ Association’s policy on performance-enhancing drugs.
