Why Filip Forsberg Is The League’s Most Efficient Playmaker
The older I get, the more I realize that my movie references go right over people’s heads. I guess that’s what happens when you spend most of the day talking to teenagers—ahh, the life of a teacher and a coach. Everyone’s going to recognize this one, though. If you’re over the age of 35, you’ve surely seen The Matrix. If you’re under 35, you’ve at least seen the “What If I Told You” meme featuring the character Morpheus, played by Laurence Fishburne. And if you still hadn’t, now you have.
