Isles look to sweep the season series against the Canes (sorry, JiC). Canes won't be pushovers having beaten the Caps, 3-0 yesterday in Washington.
However, Canes D is depleated after moving Tim Gleason to Washington for old Isles pal Jack Hillen. On the whole, Carolina only has 3 players this season who are in plus territory as to +/-. And now down Isles killer Jiri Tlusty as well as D Andrej Sekera, the Islanders really need to put the smack down tonight.
CJ gets the start tonight, and Capuano favorite Brian Strait replaces Viz. All other skaters remain the same.
Let's Go Islanders!
Energy is contagious
Enthusiasm spreads
Tides respond to lunar gravitation
Everything turns in synchronous relation
Unrelated note...anyone take a peek at the advanced stats from last night? It was utter decimation in favor of the Isles. Ramo and Ramo alone kept that from being an absolute shelling. Gotta keep that up tonight.
Carolina playing with some jump
Maybe we can...you know, get angry and realize we're being outplayed by a clown show and fix this shit like pronto.
Never gonna get on JT but he's looked a little like early season Jat past few games with way too many turnovers
Smoke: Sour Diesel
Looks like the Isles 100% took the Canes for granted tonight and expected them to roll over. Still time to fix it and pull one out, but there's that matter of ceasing the sleepwalking. Get one back before the period's end and we pull this out in the 3rd.
Now let's tie it up
Also a touch of water in it releases those awesome flavors.
CJ is just bad tonight
Need to call Buffalo for Enroth
Let's see if Carolina is as bad at holding 3 goal leads as we are.
That said, this team looks like it doesn't give a shit tonight, so why should I?
And while Cappy noted last night that they do pay attenti9n to some advanced stats and not others, a simple eye test tells you Strait is an abomination of a liability. Snow should intervene and let Cappy know this can't continue.
trust me.....game aint over
Whoops. Neuvirth would still be an upgrade

I'd say I feel sorry for the Stars coming up for the whipping the Islanders should take out on them after this, but if we keep deciding to NOT field an optimized lineup, who the farg knows what will happen.
