NFT: Islanders - Stars 8:30pm Game Thread

pganut : 3/3/2015 3:10 pm
Trade deadline came, and we left two players to the better. Tyler Kennedy is assigned the old Vanek/Moulson number of 26, and Neuvy is #30 in your programs, #1 in your hearts.

Back to work, boys. Dallas may not be in a playoff position, but they're a talented team, despite not having Seguin in their lineup. This is the sprint to the finish with the MSG gang and the Crying Marios. I'm not sure I care if the Isles end up in first place or not, but certainly want a strong showing heading into the money season.

Jaro Halak gets the start; Viz in for Strait, and Kennedy is in for Mallrat. Cappy suggests the lines will be: 27-91-12; 40-51-26; 86-18-13 and 17-29-15. Interesting.

I like Kennedy already, who when asked about a possible playoff matchup with the Pengos:

You always want to beat your old team, and we have the team here to do that.
Garth also has belief in this club and wasn't willing to make any major alterations to the roster, saying:
Quote:
(The team) deserved an opportunity to build off what they started here in the first three quarters of the season. There's a lot of good chemistry. There's a team in that locker room and we didn't want to delete any of the players out of it if we couldn't.

Let's Go Islanders!

All I know is that sometimes you have to be wary
Of a miracle too good to be true
All I know is that sometimes the truth is contrary
Everything in life you thought you knew
All I know is that sometimes you have to be wary
'Cause sometimes the target is you.

Oh well they were lucky to get the point

Move on.
That has to be a penalty

This was horribly officiated game.
On to the next

Game. We just need to get healthy.
Can not kill  
The 12th Man : 3/3/2015 11:25 pm : link
Strome as he helped get the 1st point.
Desperately need KO and Zeeker back  
timintey : 3/3/2015 11:25 pm : link
and see what Kennedy can give us. Rangers can have the division. I'll take our chances with the Yinz and home ice...
Who thought  
KWhite2250 : 3/3/2015 11:28 pm : link
The isles played with edge tonight?

Yup only our coach

Isnt good but our coach decided that we needed to play 2 men short. He gave him a total of 6:46 of ice time

Let's see Toronto fuck us again...
I think a change in point system  
KWhite2250 : 3/4/2015 2:18 pm : link
Should include only 1pt for a win against a backup goalie
Staple  
Metnut : 3/4/2015 2:23 pm : link
expects a (short) suspension for Martin. Maybe 1-2 games? Bad timing for us already being so short handed.
I say  
The 12th Man : 3/4/2015 2:39 pm : link
he is fined only. He had no intent to injure, he is not a serial problem and truthfully did not think it warranted 5 minutes watching it live last night.
It does not matter  
Fish : 3/4/2015 2:43 pm : link
we have a playoff spot almost locked up. Martin could use the suspension as off days and rest up. Call up Boulton.

Going back to long island for tests. That's Tyler Kennedy FYI.

Cizikis probably playing tomorrow.
That is very good news  
The 12th Man : 3/4/2015 3:42 pm : link
on Casey.
Martin gets 1 game  
pganut : 3/4/2015 8:22 pm : link
Not too bad. I'd either have him serve it tomorrow against NSH, or appeal and have him play NSH, sit out FLA and ensure he's ready for the Rangers. Prolly just gonna serve it tomorrow.

I concur, really thought he would not get a game but can live with 1.
I think Martin deserved the game misconduct...  
Mike in Long Beach : 3/4/2015 8:57 pm : link
...as well as the 1 game suspension (and with that, I think 2 games would've been excessive).

I don't think there was any intent to injure on Martin's part, but I do think he exhibited irresponsible control of his body that could not only cause an injury to an opponent—and it did—but also an injury to himself. He clearly had eyes on landing a hard elbow hit and didn't care what path he took to get there.

So with that, I do think being so out-of-control warranted a small dose of discipline. It's not good for the league or the fans.
Jesus Christ...

just enjoy your continued run against backup goalies, teams missing their superstars (Seguin, etc), and catching teams at their worst times (Nashville).

Has Florida announced which bench coach you'll be facing in net on Saturday?

MAB

Do you guys think you deserve the 2 points instead of 1 because you started your back up?

Go home
But to actually address your post, regarding Nashville  
Mike in Long Beach : 3/4/2015 10:53 pm : link
Tell me with a straight face it's a positive thing for the Islanders having to go into their building and them their 5th straight loss. That's a bullshit observation and you know it. If anything I find it to be a tough thing for us to overcome. They are going to come out hungry.

Oh fuck you. Outrageous, my ass. You'd be pissed too if it ended like that.
We just lost....  
MetsAreBack : 3/4/2015 10:57 pm : link
i'm pulling a Clarkson looking for a little skirmish here. Anak is a scrub, but he's still our Tanner Glass, and I'll protect our 4th line.

Cmon... Drop your gloves - both of you.


(but yes, I do believe getting to start OT 4-on-3 due to a regulation penalty is bullshit... it should be 5-on-4)
Its official  
KWhite2250 : 3/4/2015 10:58 pm : link
The isles suck. They can only beat teams that play backups or have their top players out. We'll just ignore 3 of our top fwds are out though. I dont know how/why some of you watch regular season hockey with all the whining about how its setup

I'm at least a second liner. Actually, I'm like Zucc. I can play on all three lines. But I'm definitely no fourth liner and I sure as hell am no Tanner Glass.

Gloves dropped. (though this is more for entertainment on a slow Wednesday night). Interesting you're comparing yourself to an overpriced 3rd line forward.
Though anyone can technically protect Glass before he falls and gives up another goal.

To defend Mike, he wasn't posting that on a Rangers thread. Personally, didn't care to read Anak's overreaction after seeing how he responded to the Yandle trade, but he wasn't looking for a fight.
Never realized you guys cared so much about our threads (obv Brett excluded since he's a semi-closet isles fan)

Is this meant for me?

We fucking get it, its annoying to listen to. The isles cant beat teams at full strength or onlynhybrid hockey. Every team is playing with the same exact setup of rules in the regular season. I know its a rivalry but for fucks sake give them a little credit. I was man enough last year to say the rangers were going to the finals at the start of the playoffs last year and I have no problem saying they are the team to beat this year. They have 2 awesome goalies and a group of top dmen, its easy to be jealous of.
It was meant for you, dude  
redbeard : 3/4/2015 11:14 pm : link
Bitching about the refs is pretty common amongst every fan of every sport of every team. It's not unique to Ranger fans complaining about the fucking Zebras...I see plenty of "WTF was that?!" On the islander threads


So stop being such a gash with the "only rags fans care about the refs!!" schtick
I have no qualms about it, Nancy.  
Mike in Long Beach : 3/4/2015 11:15 pm : link
I'm definitely avidly following your team at this point in the season, both because I admittedly can't stand the Rangers and it's very relevant to our playoff positioning... in fact, your fate at this juncture has as much impact as possible, more than any other team, given our current positioning.

With that being said, let's see you guys get off the high horse with the accusations that have been thrown at myself and other Islanders fans about being obsessed with the Rangers. I make one valid comment about an outburst liken to that of a middle school girl who found out she's too old to sell girl scout cookies anymore, and all of a sudden the calvary arrives from Ranger land.

So cut the bullshit about this is some one-sided affair. You girls are all over our season at this point, too. Suck it up and put your gloves on. We're not trying to go to the box right now.

How bout you learn to fucking read before you call me names. Never once mentioned the refs. But you guys do whine about shootout wins, 4 on 4 ot hockey and bitch points all the time, you pussy

Metnut : 3/5/2015 12:58 pm : link
but saw Staple put up a few relevant notes about tonight's game. Boulton and Czikas in. Mallrat and Martin (1 game suspension) out. Same D as last game and Halak starting again.

Glad to see Boulton active. I don't think he's quite the stiff/goon that his reputation suggests and I think can give us some servicable ice time tonight and provide a little bit of the snarl that Martin normally does.

Figured Boulton would get the call
