HardCoreBlue

Not to mention holding by receivers on both teams.

Yea I thought was a strange decision especially with a wind factor.

I would hope we are not that one dimensional if they happen to minimize Harris's production. If they do early I hope Lapo remains patient and doesn't go away from the run. We aren't really a big play type team, lets just grind them into the ground. Field position, field position, field position I say my man Dressler comes up big today to help out my other man Harris. Go Blue.

Well they already have his reincarnation but unfortunately for them McJesus can't play 60 minutes and can't play all positions. Overheard on the Oilers bench after McDavid trying to come off after his 15 minute shift , 'Hey what are you doing McDavid, get back out there'.

Have one ready if we're winning: 'The horse must be cold' (I can't stand the way they run their horse when they score so something to give that tradition a shot - there is a lot of creative people on this board, I'd love to read what they could come up with about that horse) Have one ready if we're losing: 'Who cares, Riders suck.'

I'm wondering if the Oilers would like Eberle back.

ZC sure wouldn't have beaten that outside containment like BB did a few times against us.

Interpretation makes sense, thanks.

What doesn't correlate with me regardless of either interpretation is expects player to be fined but defends it.

Said every ultra competitive athlete with injury ever known. :-)

Again I'm not suggesting trading for Nylander and keeping him. I'm suggesting that maybe the Jets are in a better position than the leafs to flip him to another team (this requires the third team involved in these discussions prior to any trade completed) as Trouba maybe the Leafs number 1 choice but Nylander isn't our first choice. The moons would have to align here for sure for all three teams to benefit.

True but I'm thinking the Jets would make Trouba more available than Morrissey. In fact my guess is Morrissey isn't available at all to discuss where as Trouba is.

Because Trouba may be the best on the available market and his style of play fits nice with the other skill sets on that team.

We just need a cup before he retires so he can erase the one he won with the Hawks. :-)

Everyone has a sweetness to it. :-)

I'm suggesting the Jets could flip Nylander for someone. A three way deal that benefits all. I'm not sure who that third team would be, but a team willing to take Nylander for a D man.

I didn't realize salary cap included support staff. Is that common across other professional sports?

Both his arms and legs will be in casts, yea he's good to go.

Strategically, i.e., give him the rock both run and pass over and over then mix in fake to him. In no way did I mean use him as a decoy predominately that would be crazy.

Oh yea, forgot about him. Seeing the back of Roh and Jeffcoat jerseys overtop BLM might be a start. :-)

Win field position and turn over battle. Run nowhere near Singelton or at least double him. Max pass protect for Nichois, mix in Streveler a bit more to keep their ends and halfs off balance. Strategically use Harris as a decoy as the Stumpeders will be keying him. DB's have to play stronger and tighter. Loffler is due for a big game. Better special teams play kick off and kick return. Time for Lapo and Special Teams to bust out some new plays they've been waiting to use all year to get us to the show. See you all in Edmonton. :-)

In a perfect world if a coach challenges a play that was no where near the play (and no bearing) they should be charged with delay of game and loss of challenge. I know, not that cut and dry.

I think that is exactly why Chris Jones was perturbed at having to use his challenge on that specific play. When it's clear cut that a mistake was made, coaches get infuriated that they have to correct it with their one and only challenge.

Nope, I'd trade Trouba to the Leafs for Nylander then probably flip Nylander for (don't know yet but assume Nylander's camp has a few teams in mind). Win Win Win?

Don't lead high with the shoulder, form tackle, break down , chest out, face up, rip and wrap. That's what the game is trying to do to lessen head shots. Trying to keep the head out of the game.
