Big Blue Huddle

Florida is definitely a terrible matchup.  Eight games this season and they have yet to beat them in regulation. 

Quote from: jgrangers2 on Today at 11:35:59 AMThis is what it feels like. The Rangers are not a team designed to win board battles and races to the puck. Most of the game is 5v5 and they are mediocre at that. If the power play isn't humming, they're going to struggle. That said, they have, arguably, the best goalie in the world who has managed to keep them in every one of these games so far. The Rangers have a very weird formula for success and it's a formula that makes them really good against the bottom half of the league but will create problems when you're consistently going up against better opponents.

I don't disagree but they knocked off the analytic darlings in six and are taking last SC runner up to at least 6.

I don't think the rangers get enough credit for their ability to absorb shots and then counter punch.

But Jess, I'm not digging your viewpoint out and respect it. They just aren't built to play the others do.

Obviously I share your disappointment.

But it's one win in Florida, with no pressure - nobody is picking us here. It's all on Florida to close it out. It's not like they'll lose to some mugs.

However, they've won in Florida, by hook or by crook, do it again.

6 to go.

For those of a superstitious nature, I watched this one on delay this morning. I was simply dead, however on Saturday - I'll be back live.

LGR - two big efforts and let's wait and see. A lot of people thought it'll be 7, let's get it.

5 games that all could have gone either way.  Last night was tough.  When he pulled Igor, I said it was too early.  I know the trend in the league now is to pull with 2:30-3 minutes to go, but I have always thought that was too early when you are down 1 unless you are on a PP.  1:00-1:30 is the time.  Oh well.  Win saturday and force game 7.

Quote from: Jclayton92 on Today at 08:20:54 AMYour may be in a select minority of 30 fans that think that the Jones deal was a good one for this franchise. Even fans that are really big advocates of Jones realize the deal was bad.

3200 passing yards and 15tds is not good production as we've stated multiple times and yet you still push it as a great season and not the mirage that it was.

2022 was all about Barkley, it's amazing once we Barkley hit the wall in Houston our offense completely fell off and we limped to the finish.

You misread and misapplied what I had stated. What I was inferring was that Daboll and Schoen made the right decision in drafting Nabers and coupling him up with Jones, instead of drafting the 4th or 5th best QB left on the board.

I also respectfully disagree with you that the offense completely stalled in 2022 after the Houston game.

DJ threw for 334 yards against Minnesota in week 16, and again for another 301 yards in the playoff game combined with another 78 yards rushing.

I'm now off to work, enjoy

Maybe Waller could try out for one of those reality show contests like Survivor.. Maybe not. Might get injured stepping on a sea shell.

I don't care what he does in his free time.  I think its ridiculous he has kept the Giants in limbo this long.  I am sorry he went through or is going through a tough time, but its long past time to make a decision.  I am guessing there is some financial gain for the team if he retires versus being released. 

At this point, I suppose any outcome with him not playing for the Giants is a post 6/1.  Am I wrong about that?  If he is released Monday, can it be anything other than post 6/1?  11 million cap savings this year for that.
