Big Blue Huddle

3 out of 4 games vs the Panthers the Blue shirts have been outplayed.   

They got away with the same vs Boston but I doubt it will work with FLA. Now would be a great time to get it together and start playing some tuff playoff hockey. 

It goes without saying but Igor is a complete beast.  He is completely dialed in and they are doing their best to simply waste it. 77 shots on goal in the past two games is crazy.  

Specials have been dominated by FLA in the past 2 games as they go is 2 of 6 on PP in Game 3 and 2 of 4 in Game 4.  Tightening up the box will be important in Game 5.  As GMO stated the whistle getting eaten on Kakko was BS, I said to my wife and boys, wait till they call the next one on the rangers and it becomes a much bigger deal. 

The Rangers simply need to start playing like its obvious to all they want it more, like they can not be denied and so far it looks like FLA wants it more 

Looking for the Garden turn things around on Thursday

I am mindful that 2 years ago, the Giants drafted Thibs 5th and Neal 7th.   I wouldn't call either impactful, to date.  So 6th is no guarantee.

Drafted 6 overall with very high pre draft rankings. If he isn't an impactful rookie the Giants are in trouble.

They were manhandled again but yet again had a chance to win it in the end.  And this time it was a calamity of errors at the worst possible time by a variety of people that did them in . Starting with about 7 seconds let in regulation when Kakko was blatantly tripped and then elbowed in the head while he was sliding on the ground....no call.  Mika with an incredibly stupid turnover.  The Rangers changing both defensemen, during the long change period, before the puck was even in the offensive zone, Trouba doing whatever the hell he was doing right before the goal was scored.  Seriously go back and watch that play and tell me what in the holy hell Trouba thought he was doing.

With the way the Rangers penalty kill has been recently I almost wished in real time that they had just awarded a penalty shot.  I think Igor on a penalty shot is a better chance of denial than the Rangers on the penalty kill at this point.

Having said that, they did get the split in Florida like we needed them to do.  It wasn't pretty but they got it.  Now they better win Game 5.  Cause I really don't see how they're going back into this building and winning Game 6.

I dont want the Giants to go back to the 2022 offensive passing style. Get me some Kevin Gilbride.

That is often the problem with these lists, the recency bias.   As you said, Tom Landry was a highly successful and innovative DC for the Giants (opposite Vince Lombardi as OC).

Ice cream! The most important US invention. I believe it was introduced at the Worlds Fair over 100 years ago.

Also, the Popiel Pocket Fisherman! Haha.

I assume it would be the same for players with school age kids.  Of course school schedules differ geographically.

A lot of attention for a guy that didnt attend a voluntary workout.
