Big Blue Huddle

Man, was Quick quick tonite! Not a busy nite for our our new Backup (17 shots) but he was sharp, only letting up one Goal.
Another 180 degree turn around from our blowout loss to Nashville. We smothered Seattle end to end for a 4-1 W to start our five game west coast swing.
Bread controlled the game every time he was on time he was on the ice, with two Tallies and a helper. Things went so well for us, even Kakko and Laffy scored.

Weird game with a portion of the lighting causing a late start, and remained off for the entire game. Teams had to switch ends at the midway through each Period as to not provide a sight advantage in Goal. Never knew Marchand could handle himself with the gloves off. He pummeled his opponent with ease.
After an away game across three time zones off the heels of a brutal home loss, we should be feeling much better about our Blueshirts thus far.

Just saw a weather report that has Game time winds predicted out 0f the WNW at 20 mph.
So, our superb Kicking game which has been one of lone bright spots, will likely be impacted. As to what degree, remains to be seen?
My prognostication includes two FG's and two TD's for Blue. Our running game will have to be clicking tomorrow for us to prevail.

Daboll pulling these head fakes with Dimes's status is really growing old
He admits Dimes isn't cleared for contact. So, what is 48 hours going to do?
When the Jints Beat Reporter on SNY tonite was asked if Jones will play on Sunday, he said emphatically "No".
The guy is a straight shooter. He gives alot of accurate insight on Blue.

Spot on Gmo & DB
Laffy & Kakko were consensus Picks at each of their respective Drafts.
I thought Laffy was a dud after watching him in a couple dozen games. Nothing in his skillset is above average.
However, I thought just the opposite with Kakko. He could skate, demonstrated good Puck skills, and had good size to boot. Thought he might have been under utilized on the 3rd Line. But when he was given Minutes in a top six capacity, the results didn't materialize.

Interesting DB, we both spot dah Jints 20 points. But you don't think our D can hold Wash under 20 points
Now that Bobby O. woke up, and Tibs is on track, our D stood tall vs. dah Bills. I'm hoping that the MO our D generated vs. dah Bills, has a carryover effect to our Home Field  

Jints      20

Commanders 17

TT plays the entire game

Gano kicks a last minute 47 FG to put us in the Winners circle

Just a soft, sloppy, uninspired effort would explain our miserable game tonite.
I've been calling Laffy a bust for some time now. I had hoped for Kakko to take the next step, no more...

As I mentioned recently, Drury will be working the phones (sooner rather than later) looking for a 1st Line and 2nd Line RW.

On further review, I saw how we let the Yotes stick with us on 5 on 5. We lit the lamp when we overwhelmed the scoring area.

Trench, great get

Re; our high injury rate, ask our S & C Coach and Ronnie Barns 

Can they cut Dimes to make room for an OL

Thanks whales

Rich, RT Neal was given a score of 57.1, how does that rate?
What I'm asking is, is  a score of 57.1 considered average, or below average?

thanks

No more easy W's in the NHL. Got that right!
You'd think the Yotes would be a pushover at MSG. They fought tooth and nail in our Home Opener. Krides scores his 4th in three games. 1-1 into the 3rd. Marchand tips in the go ahead Goal. A gritty, physical, tightly contested tilt. We killed off a full two mins of 5 0n 3. Chants of Igor Igor during the kill.
Then later in the Game with us up 2-1, Shesty stops a Penalty Shot. He's 4 for 4 on Penalty Shot stops.
Major brawl ensued when time ran . Shesty of all people right in the middle of it all.
New HC Laviolette visibly emotional in his Presser commenting on the the W, the Crowd and the historic Franchise.

Start TT, rest Dimes.
