I have said for months, it is Laviolette, Peca, and Housley.
18 guys with backbone suited up every night and a goalie who almost defies description.
Mr Laviolette is Joe Torre of 1996. A solid "ugh" when he was hired admit it. Well, pass me some crow and cranberry sauce.
Don't wake me up....please.
Quote from: kartanoman on May 08, 2024, 10:11:06 PMLots of bantering in the NY Post comment section about that today. It's hard to make a change when you have a winning formula (6-0 in the playoffs). Sometimes it's important for a kid like Rempe, who literally AND figuratively tilts the ice, who has both the opponent's AND the referee's heads' all jumbled up in knots, to do something as simple as "snow" Andersen, following Igor's getting tripped and flipped, to deliver an unspoken message that gets across clearly in a manner that no other way would prove effective. Johnny Brodz won't give you that.I was a bouncer for a few years when I was in college and right out of college. I see Rempe presence as the same. If I wasn't working the front door checking ID's, I was standing against a wall observing what was going on. Ready to pounce if needed, but most nights I was just looking around and didnt have to do anything. Not saying mine and my co-workers presence prevented things from ever happening, but our presence did make people think twice and we were able to take care of a situation when needed. DeAngelo starts running his mouth or playing like an XXXXXXX, Laviolette can put Rempe out there. Yes, may result in a minor or even misconduct, but the message will be sent.
In general, Laviolette knows how to make it to the top of the Everest of this sport. His tracks are there at the peak from '06. He knows what he's doing with his Rangers' team AND with keeping Rempe out there, even if for a handful of minutes.
The dynamics of this series change with the scenery now shifting to Research Triangle, NC. Will Rempe still be a role player remains to be seen. But the evidence is undeniable that the refs are whistle-happy when he's on the ice. That they scolded him yesterday was laughable. If he is in the ref's heads, in the opponent's heads, none of them are primarily focused as they should be on what they're supposed to be doing and that just benefits the Rangers.
Laviolette is brilliant!
Peace!

Carolina will make some adjustments within their structure. However they play one game, Pressure, and at a consistent, constant level. They will need to raise their level of play to beat this Ranger team. I don't know that they can. If they do, hats off to them. That's their DNA under Brind'A'Mor. Love that already in Game 1 they are frustrating Goetzel. He got chippy yesterday. I'm watching all the series. This Ranger team can beat all 7 remaining teams, and can lose to the same. It's that close this year. Would love to see an Adamms Family train wreck between Fla-Bos.Yes, but it was off the ice, so the stick did nothing to stop the puck.
Quote from: files58 on April 25, 2024, 10:39:41 AMI absolutely LOVED Panarin's borderline hit to Oshie. Last season's Panarin would never do that. That was payback for the non-call high stick. The hit shows his determination, and the confidence that his team has his back. Speaks alot. The Caps tomorrow are going to come out of the gate like a quarter horse. It's going to be nasty. CLEAR THE PUCK, just dump it out. Catch them with odd man rushes. Before this is over I see Cuylle mixing it up with Wilson.Oshie f'd around and found out. He has always been a dirtbag on the ice. Just goes unnoticed because he is not as bad as Wilson.
Quote from: AZGiantFan on April 23, 2024, 08:59:04 PMThe Giants have never had a QB like that in the Superbowl era. Just sayin'.I am aware. Few teams have, which is why I think if one of these guys fit that, they would do whatever they can to try to get him.
Quote from: T200 on April 22, 2024, 11:42:03 AMThis just in: Giants are interested in a player in the first round.We can only hope!
Quote from: T200 on April 23, 2024, 09:17:11 AMI have a hard time believing that the perspectives of the 32 currently employed GMs is on par with these two FORMER GMs.I agree in theory, but I doubt these 2 think there are 12 and there are current GM's who think there are 25 true first rounders. Yes, some may feel there are a few more, and some a few less. If I had to guess, I would think 80% of the GM probably feel like there are 10-16.
I mean, if that's the case, just cancel rounds 4-7 and get on with training camp.
I'm not knocking their perspectives but I don't think it's prevailing. Hell, if they were that attuned, they'd still have jobs, no?
Quote from: MightyGiants on April 23, 2024, 09:01:56 AMI have listened to all the rumors and all the insiders. This is the best I can discern when it comes to the Giants desires for round one.
1) The Giants would like to draft a quarterback but on their terms. In other words, for the right price, the Giants would move up to take a QB, or they would take one if he falls to six.
2) Maye seems to be the quarterback the Giants have the most interest in. JJ is another QB the Giants may have interest in, but it doesn't sound like he would be a trade-up target
3) Failing to secure a QB, the Giants will sit at 6 and take the best WR on their board. I have no idea how the Giants have stacked the 3 WRs prospects
