Big Blue Huddle / Re: NFT: NY Rangers 2023 - 202...
Last post by EDjohnst1981 - May 16, 2024, 10:04:55 PM
What a 3rd period. I thought they were unlucky to be one down after 1.

The Canes came hard and the Rangers rode their luck in the open 3-4 mins of 3rd but after that the Rangers were excellent. I said to my son, they just need the next goal. What a performance from Kreider, Bread was good, Zib was lively. Unreal 3rd.

Hopefully Boston take Florida to 7 as I think the extra time off will be most useful.

Edit - 8 to go!

I've said it before - this is a special group.

Absolutely incredible! Been a fan since the early 80s. Definitely one of the top five most riveting wins I can remember. This team was absolutely dead in the water after two periods.

I'm very glad the Canes went back to Freddy Anderson...  guy is a total disaster.

Big Blue Huddle / The Drew Lock-Bo Nix compariso...
Last post by Ed Vette - May 16, 2024, 09:53:33 PM
"He (Nix) had two or three down-the-field throws today. It's almost like watching a good golfer. Sometimes when you watch his game over two years, there's a patience to how he plays. The ball comes out, and—I don't want to use the term 'boring,' that's not the right term, but [he makes] pretty good decisions. With each play, the efficiency of how he's operating, and all of that."

"Former Denver Broncos head coach Vic Fangio is a big baseball fan, and he pulled out a baseball analogy during Drew Lock's rookie training camp to paint a picture of where Lock was at when he was in his first NFL camp coming out of Missouri:

"I don't think he's far along being a ready NFL quarterback as he could have been. That's what I mean when he's got to get ready. He's not a quarterback yet. He's a hard throwing pitcher that doesn't know how to pitch yet, so the faster he gets that the better off he'll be and we'll be."

Meanwhile, early reports out of NE on Drake Maye, are not glowing. He's got a lot of work to do.

I'll take a stab at it. First of all, I think the runner has to go back to 1st base. I don't know what, if anything, happens to the batter. So I think it's either B or D. But I'll take a guess, the batter is called out for interference, runner back to 1st.

Great comeback.  So funny how the complexion of our night as a fan can change.

It's just amazing how woefully deficient the 2024 Gmen are to say the 2006 team.  Just go position by position.

Want to get really deptessed?  Look at the 2nd stringers

I don't blame Drury. Teams were asking for the Ranger's best prospects and/or their #1 which Dolan did not want to give up since the draft is being held at the Sphere, his property.

Exactly why this franchise has one cup in 84 years.
