The bye week, eight games in, came at a perfect time for the Giants. But, damn, it came at a lousy time for the rest of us.
Surely the Giants’ players have enjoyed this week off, and will happily watch on television as most of their fellow players beat each other up Sunday and Monday while they’re sinking into their La-Z-Boys or settling into a hot tub to ease their aching bones.
Because the Giants have spent the first eight weeks of the season reminding us of all the good stuff we can sometimes find in sports when the stars align and the coaches know what they’re doing and the players play with ferocity and the scoreboard mostly complies with our fondest wishes. The last month has been a bit of a firestorm around here, maybe you’ve noticed.
But the Giants have been different. Oh, the Devils and Islanders are both on nice winning streaks now, and the Rangers are talented enough that they’ll pile up plenty of points, but hockey season is still in its infancy. As Charles Barley once famously said: “Early in the season, teams that suck don’t know that they suck yet.”
Soon enough, the teeth of the season will be upon them and we will see with clear eyes how good the Giants really are. But first there will be home games against Houston and Detroit, and a genuine opportunity to be 8-2 before the schedule gets a tad meaner.
