Ken,
I am in no way assuming that ONLY puckheads can comment on the game but
in some cases, in this the physical play of the game, who better to
comment than someone who's played the game? If you were a player, with
how much weight would you give criticism of your game by someone who is
merely a spectator? Yes, anyone can comment, but it's those who know
first hand how the game is played that carry the most weight.
