The Rangers game is a must win, just for a morale boost. Very winnable game. We have a team that, I believe, can compete with just about any team in the league if they play to their potential. I think they gave full effort, just came up short.

As far as the weak shots from the point, ever since we lost Seidenberg, our point shots haven't been consistently great (unless Corvo takes them). Not that Seidenberg was a great D-man, but he had such a strong shot.

It's more than just weak shots, it's how the shots are being taken. Standing flat-footed 3 steps inside the blue line and trying to twist the wrist is not going to work 99.99% of the time. You need a moderate amount of power for a deflection to do what it's supposed to.

True. I'm sure it will come around though. Mo won't let those weak shots stick around for too much longer (I hope). He likes aggressive play, so he needs to preach aggressive shots on goal.

Yea, I think so too. Hopefully Francis will start emphasizing that on the Power Play too. And taking higher percentage shots.

      Maxx Crosby is not happy

      By LinvilleGorge · Posted

      Bingo. The dude is a baller no doubt and I'd love to have him in a vacuum but like you said he's gonna fetch a haul so the only teams it really makes sense for are teams with an overall good roster who they feel an edge rusher like Crosby would out them over the top in terms of competing for SBs. I'd be looking st teams like the Pats, Bucs, Ravens, Seahawks, etc. It wouldn't be shocking to see him moved. He may be more valuable to a rebuilding team in the form of the draft assets he'd fetch than he is on the field. He should still have several more good years in the tank at 28 but by the time the Raiders can reasonably expect to rebuild he's gonna be on the decline.

      Crosby will garner a haul in a trade. I would be reluctant to make that trade because of the following: 1. Our overall roster is awful. We cannot afford to be trading away valuable draft capital. 2. He isn't the best fit(IMO) for the scheme that Evero runs.  I love the player but it would really need to be at a reasonable deal and I think he is likely to garner an unreasonable price if he gets traded.

      BREAKING NEWS: Trevin Wallace out for the year

      By kungfoodude · Posted

      In terms of need, EDGE is currently #1. Our pass rush is near league worst levels. However, I don't subscribe to "need" based drafting. BPA all day.  We do need to dramatically upgrade over Scourton, Jones, Wonnum and Umanmielen. That is likely in the running for the NFL's worst two deep. Not saying all those players are bad, but I am saying 100% of those players are 2nd or 3rd stringers.
