Enjoyed your writing/commentary through the years. In St Louis, as a long time premium league pass subscriber and huge fan of the games, it can be a little lonely. There is an active fanship around here and we are all deeply knowledgeable, so your newsletter is essential for my quiver. Best of luck to you!!!

Allow more subs, golden goal, play 9v9 in extra time...to me anything is better than the ability of the inferior team to try and run the clock out and win in a way which comes somewhat down to luck

9 v 9 would be epic ... if not for the increased injury risk.
