Can You Hit Phil Niekro's Knuckleball? Braves at Astros, June 18th, 1967.
The Knuckleball… a pitch that is turbulent, unpredictable, and rarely mastered. One player who did was Phil Niekro. With 318 career victories he currently sits 16th on the All-time Winners list, the highest of any knuckleball pitcher. Of course the knuckelball is a fickle mistress. Niekro may have had three 20-win seasons, but he also had two 20-loss seasons as well; and to top it all off he is the sole MLB pitcher to pick up 20 wins and 20 losses in a single season, throwing 21-20 for the Atlanta Braves in 1979.

How does the veg-tanning process differ from chrome tanning? What's a base tan and what's a re-tan? How does grading work? Wet stuffing and hot stuffing? What are the different ways to dry hides...

#32: Är Kessel en oas eller hägring?
Veckans mastiga avsnitt börjar med en promenad i minnenas allé och ett nervöst möte med en grekisk NHL-doldis (nej, det är inte Niko Dimitrakos). Därefter betas nästan 20 snabba puckar av (nytt rekord!) i ett hiskeligt tempo. Det duckas inte heller för veckans heta potatis - Phil Kessel-trejden. Blir det ökenvandring eller kalas i skuggan av kaktusarna i Arizona i höst? Avslutningsvis sammanfattas också säsongerna för lagen i Atlantic och Central division, utifrån David, Patrik och Olofs förväntningar. Trevlig lyssning! info@veckansnhl.
