Sportswriters, please take note: Please, please, please, stop using the word "Swagger."
I must have heard it a 1,000 times on TV throughout last year's Stanley Cup playoffs. And now, this ridiculous word is littering my THN subscription.
You will never catch me after a game of pickup, turning to my buddy saying, "Hey Stevie... you played with a lot of Swagger tonight!"
It doesn't belong in the hockey dressing room just like it doesn't belong in THN.
Webster's is rife with adjectives. Surely there is a better word than "swagger" to describe the greatest game on earth.
Pass the word off to something like Dancing With The Stars or speed walking!

“I think when you’re at home the first two games, sometimes you get a little bit too comfortable at home. Then you come on the road, maybe it’s like a rude awakening…We’ve had three series to figure that out, learn it. We definitely want to be better (Monday), especially in the first game on the road.”
