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.

Thats after how many games paired with strait. Probably could be even better
Tavares and Bailey

Get crushed and no calls
Nice flop  
KWhite2250 : 3/3/2015 9:17 pm : link
By the goalie
Just my observation  
pganut : 3/3/2015 9:18 pm : link
But while Hamonic hasn't played the stalwart D we hoped he'd play this year (of course, some due to his pairing at times), his offense has taken a quantum leap this season. Pleasant development.
bang up job again by the refs

Bad enough they have a hard time drawing a crowd

Not in the playoffs no one will show up.

Another shit call.

Lee called for goaltender interference at 18:49. Lehtonen should ask Neuvirth where to send the embellishment fine. Brutal.

The trade deadline was the PK. Then why did we not get someone who helps?
Did not want to upset chemistry in locker room  
The 12th Man : 3/3/2015 9:33 pm : link
A lot of people have taken shots at this team and it has galvanized them in the locker room. Close knit group. He is a glorified fan at this point.
That was a bit puzzling.  
mikeygiants : 3/3/2015 9:33 pm : link
He really said nothing new, didn't want to change chemistry in the locker room, wanted to upgrade backup goaltending.
Kennedy has high hockey IQ  
The 12th Man : 3/3/2015 9:35 pm : link
Wanted to address the right wing. He was an issue to deal with when he played for the Pens.
Kennedy very fast always a challenge to defend and  
The 12th Man : 3/3/2015 9:36 pm : link
He very excited to be here. We have a lot of depth on this team up to the coaches who will play.
Nice job. Thanks.

How are you holding up?
no penalty there???  
timintey : 3/3/2015 9:39 pm : link
wtf?
Look at the Isles making the PK look

easy.

Wait no penalty there?
Wow

No penalty?
Roussell just punched Strome

what the fuck is going on here???
As for goalie spoke to a buffalo about 2 weeks ago  
The 12th Man : 3/3/2015 9:43 pm : link
Chad was a great guy in the locker room. He was a good goalie but we upgraded, Neuvirth there was a passing conversation in the last couple of weeks was not really happy with that position and thought we could get an upgrade. Neuvirth will stop the puck and is one of the hottest goalies in the league with saves. Big kid athletic and will allow Jaro to get some rest and be ready for the playoffs.

Then I was shocked when he said screw all you BBI idiots who wanted me to trade BAILEY. Then he said no one wanted Strait except Cappy and Fish.
Lmao  
Fish : 3/3/2015 9:45 pm : link
I'd take Strait on my team.
That was it  
The 12th Man : 3/3/2015 9:46 pm : link
Just going to say he has a chip on his shoulder with everyone who has said crap about us.

I have been doing better still some tough moments especially sleeping. Have my budget meetings for my town going on so that has kept my mind on something else and just put my head further into my work so I do not get to my idle time to think. Miss him like crazy but I know he is in a better place,only place better will be at NVMC with Tavares skating around the cup over his head.

Some positives: Haven't given up a PK goal while being on the PK 1/4 the game.
Creating some opportunities. Can definitely play better though.

Luongo got hurt and left game. Was in street clothes. Montoya gets hurt and plays through it but they apparently sign goalie coach rob tallas to 1 day contract to go in. But they dont put him in and all of a sudden luongo is back in pads and in game
