Big Blue Huddle

It isn't. I love Nubin pick. Wished they had taken one of the top three running backs and Corum was still on the board. It's probably more of a reaction at knowing our offense is going to painful to watch again.

Well, game three started off with concern when Igor let in that early first period goal. But we need not have worried as our Rangers were up to the task and Igor became an unstoppable wall. For Kreider to provide the equalizer in undera minute, after the Caps' score, changed the course of the game. The short-handed goal, which was a thing of beauty, shoved a knife into the Caps.

We can talk about Rempe's physical play, Igor back to his magical playoff form, excellent defense and overall patience and discipline which proved the difference in the Rangers earning win #3 on the road.

Getting the third win was also important as Carolina is also up 3-0 in their series with the Isles.

Sunday, can they close it out?

Peace!

What do I want? I want a F-ing offense that isn't a complete embarrassment for a 10th year in a row. The Giants have three young corners. How about we wait to see how the develop before drafting another one that didn't have a single interception during his time in college. Listen he's Giant now so I hope he's successful but when you have an offensive minded coach you might want to play to his strengths. Frankly I'm just pissed at the prospect of watching our defense put the team in a position to win only to lose because we can put points on the board.

I think you will get your wish for a RB before the draft is over, and there are better players than Corum out there to be had. Whoops! THere goes Lloyd. Still 4-5 backs who I would like to see in Giants colors.

I'd argue that Michigan's national championship had much more to do with Blake Corum than JJ McCarthy, and I don't really think that it's debatable. There are running backs out there but the talent drops off quickly after the top three. IMHO Corum would have been our best back day one and we have plenty of bodies at the position just not a lot of talent. I'm more frustrated than anything else right now. We suck on offense so let's use most of our draft capital on defense.

I think we lost our shot at the best Day 1 starting Guards.  Zinter was the last.  My guess is they like their FA signings.

Looks like DT and RB are their holes they may focus on.

Quote from: madbadger on April 26, 2024, 10:03:38 PMHe used our second round draft pick to trade for Burns. So three of the first four went towards building the defense.

Fair enough.  My focus was on what is/was transpiring in the last 24 hours
