Well he should fit in well with the Giants QB room as they run the most remedial offense in the NFL.  


If true, looks like the they can leave the training wheels on the offense regardless of who is behind center.

It was an 8pm puck drop here in Sconin, the late start saved me as I got back from the rink for the start of the second.
My 13 yr old son is a goalie and a huge Igor fan last nights 40 shot, 2 goal effort was phenomenal. Kid usually has his phone in his hand and last night he was glued to the tv. The way Igor tracked Rantanen to the right while butterfly pushing on the shot out was sick, completely took him out of the play in a shootout. Just beautiful. The breakout pass from Igor to Panarin for the breakaway was ridiculous and just one of the many high-quality opportunities they couldn't capitalize on.   Hoping Igor carries this momentum into the offseason.

That being said Georgie was impressive as well. Granted taking significantly less shots, he was putting on a show of his own.   Im happy of him, but wish he saved those nights for other teams.

Not only was Lindgren back but he got a ton of time on the ice and with plenty of time left in the season he should hopefully be looking back to normal hitting the playoffs. 

Let's get Trouba back and hope Gustafsson can get back on his skates healthy before the playoffs.

I was happy to just see the game with my boy, but thrilled by what we were treated to.

Quote from: T200 on March 25, 2024, 09:41:13 AMWhat's more valuable to an offense: a top 3 QB or a top 3 WR?
Roster development is relative. You can win with either or neither, it all depends on the how the rest of the team is built.

Quote from: brownelvis54 on March 23, 2024, 11:10:31 AMIf this is true, then why do we suck so bad? 

2nd worst line in nfl history and an overpaid average QB that is a 7 year project

Here is a Game 7 history for the NHL

Red Highlight represents road teams winning game 7.

Without calculating it looks fairly even though.

Makes sense as home is in regular season is 54.5 and 54.9 in playoffs.

It's much better than saying the Giants are drafting a new QB if he is there at 6.

It maintains the same understanding without giving away draft strategy

Told the whole world who he was taking before hand, ultimately screwing himself over

Mentally yes
That was clear last season

Quote from: coggs on March 21, 2024, 08:23:14 AMHonestly, think I would rather be home for games 3 and 4 than 1 and 2.  This isn't 1985 where a team can make the play-offs with 70 points.  Every team in the play-offs is going to be good.  Not sure home-ice means anything anymore.


Wouldn't you want home ice for game 7's?

Quote from: ViewFromSection129 on March 19, 2024, 10:20:18 AMI don't get Neal at all.  He was considered as close to a sure thing as there was.  Not necessarily to be a superstar, but to at least be a very good tackle.  And he came from a top school.  Something is amiss here.

Could be as simple as lacking the mental discipline for the NFL, he abandons his technique when under duress. 

Or it could be poor coaching, Bobby Johnson was horrible and has been horrible for the majority of his career.

Or it could be the scheme, I have read Daboll asks Olineman to use a mix of zone and man:man blocking that can be very hard for certain players to implement. 

Either way the guy is a mess on the field more than not

As they showed the first replay of Lindgren going down, I instantly thought of the Potvin hit on Ulf Nilsson as the Rangers started looking toward the 79 playoffs.

An otherwise hit of no regard leaving the ranger flat on the ice only to be helped off

Glad the news was so good.

The upcoming three game tilt is off the charts. 

I am excited to see how the team matches up, even with missing Lindgren and Trouba.

Give Eleumenor the starting caliber reps at Rt, it is his job to lose.  That will either trigger something within Neal and hopefully get him working toward the right road under the guidance of Bricillo and if that is not an option that it sets the stage for the move to guard. 

Neal has not earned the right to anything other than the opportunity to compete for a job. 

It would be a mistake to give Neal any kind of edge on any depth chart associated with the Oline.

Quote from: gregf on March 18, 2024, 01:04:54 PMI see Neal taking 50% snaps at starting RT with the new guy we signed from Raiders the other 50%. Neal will get plenty of snaps at guard too. If the competition at RT is close, I could see Neals youth and draft slot giving him an edge. But if he is clearly outplayed, he gets to compete to compete for a starting guard spot. I'd love to see him earn a starting spot purely on merit


If the competition is close at RT than the front office didn't address the Oline adequately and the season is done anyway. 

Neal needs to move to guard because it's his last hope and there is no way Schoen can enter into the 2024-25 season with Neal penciled in anywhere on the line yet alone Tackle.

It is interesting what hills some people find themselves on and decide today is a nice day to die.

Wish we could have gotten a pick for him, other than that the contract is way too rich for what he brings to the table., Unless he steps up.

 I wish him nothing but the best.

At least he didn't sign with the Eagles.
