Big Blue Huddle

Phil, spot on

Fire the entire Staff except for Wink
Watching the Jets Game, I couldn't believe the Offensive Play Calling.  I mean, how could experienced, highly paid professionals call a Game like this?!?

Coach Laviolette said in his presser, that he was pleased with how his Team came out of the gate!
He made mention of how upon review, he didn't like the hit that injured Chytil.
Also stated how with the game tied, the Team came out hard in the 3rd period to take charge against a good Team.

HUGE WIN on 1st Game back from best Road Trip in Franchise history!!! A real Playoff caliber game vs. a top Team in the Canes.
Rook Cuyle with game winner and 1st Star. He scores with a hard working pass from the corner by Trouba in 3rd Period, who played nearly 26 mins. !!!
Fox leaves the the game in the 1st Period with lower body injury, extent unknown..  Chytil leaves the game in the 2nd with an upper body injury.
Krides continues his Goal scoring tear, with another PP Goal.
Igor on fire giving up a goal in the 1st Period, then shut the door. Marchand wins 14 out of 20 Faceoffs!

Our guy Daboll had ZERO NFL HC experience before he came to us.

Jets Goalie Clutterbuyck made a couple of all-world saves late to maintain the tied score. Alot of speed and crisp passing by both Teams prevented numerous big hits from happening. Again, we blocked a huge amount of shots. It takes me back to the days of Torts. Wonder if Girardi is healed up after being a human Pinata? A blown call gave the Jets a PP that had them score on a wrap around to go up 1-2. We were 0-2 on the PP, but were awarded a 3rd PP with under five mins. remaining. Krides, who can only be described as a magician in front of Opponent's nets, deflects in a Goal to tie the Game to send us into OT. Even on slow motion replay, tough to tell (for me) just how Krides deflected Foxy's shot past Clutterbuyck. Fox leads all NHL D's in scoring. A 2nd Norris Trophy maybe?

So on we we go to OT, being shorthanded for aprox. 1:45 (playing 3 on 4) on a Penalty that carried over from Regulation. Superb kill, as the Jets never got off a quality chance. Now playing three on three, Bread on his B-day (with a 3 point game) slides a pass across the high slot into Zib's wheel house that he one-times past Clutterbuyck for the OT Winner!!! For the 1st (I believe) in our Franchise's history, we have gone 5-0 on a Road Trip.
In his presser, Laviolette was emotional describing the aforementioned.
I'm a little concerned about that dreaded 1st home game from a Road Trip. This Roster has already proved it's not typical.
So maybe I need not be overly concerned?

I was done with Daboll after  the Seattle Game. The Team was a no show for the Dallas Game. Totally unprepared for that one.
Next home game vs. Seattle, we fail to show up for that one as well. I've seen enough at that point.  Can't fire last year's Coach of the Year?
Well after today's debacle, Daboll's termination on Black Monday looms large.

What say you my BBH Brethern?

Thanks Steve, enjoy

If you have a heart condition, and didn't see tonite's game in Vancouver, you made a wise choice. 
Shesty gave up three, but saved the game late in the 3rd & in OT. Made saves that you had to see to believe
Dig this, tied in the 3rd (under 10 min. left?) and Zib takes a High Stick to the face that cut his cheek. We get a four min. PP. So, with any luck we maybe could score the game winner here. Well somebody did score during our 1st two min. but it wasn't us. Van came down on a 2 on 1 and beat Shesty on the short side.
If I recall correctly, in the 2nd two min. Foxy came down low, took a pass on the doorstep and roofed one to tie the game, that eventually would send us into OT. But before OT happened, Shesty made a save lying on the ice and stuck out his glove to stop a rebound at the side of the Net

With the jump that Van played with right to the end, hard to believe they played the nite before. 
Shesty continued his brilliance into OT with a couple of highlight reel saves. This Game was so back and forth with each Team being awarded six PP's. Mostly a N/S Game with little E/W play. Alot of heavy clean hits by both Teams. Don't know the exact total, but we blocked a huge amount of shots. Bonino blocked three on one shift!
Krides broke out of our Zone in OT. He then baited the Goalie into thinking he was going to take a shot.
But then passed the Puck away from the lone Van Defender and put it in the wheelhouse of a braking K Miller. Miller gave the Goalie no chance by burying a one-timer that kept us undefeated on this Western Canada Road Trip, with one game remaining. Heard at 6-2 we are atop the Metropolitan Division. And as mentioned, we have only put up one stinker this Season.   

Again, Quick was quick in recording a Shutout in our 3-0 W over the Oilers
What a West Coast road trip!

I was a HUGE Dimes supporter. I even had him in my Mock, and was thrilled when Drafted him
After a promising Rook season, the wind went out of my sails the following few seasons.
As a result, I believe the U.S.S. Dimes has sailed, BIGTIME 

In the 2024 Draft use all our resources to scout the QB Prospects and zero in our QB that is reachable.
Then, do what we can to grab him

"We didn't sign him to trade him".
I know, a different Mgt. group, a different player, and a different time.
But it just goes to show you how fast things can change

Just a case of the Backup, outplaying the Starter

Congrats to TT.

10 Penalties by the Fins, 0 by the Eggles...

T200 spot on
Our play calling has been beyond vanilla this season.
Kafka should have been let go after the Seattle game...
