NFT: Flyers at Islanders, 7:30pm Game Thread

pganut : 11/25/2015 12:05 pm
Okay, back to the Metropolitan Division. Isles made a tremendous amount of hay against the Metro last season (21-6-3). Time to carve out the games that need to be won (of note, though, against the "tougher" West, the Isles are 8-2-1 this season).

Tonight's lineup: Zidlicky back in for Pelech; Bernier in for Beck; Halak between the pipes.

Hickey began skating with the team yesterday and the thinking is he'll be back for the TB game. There was also a Strome mention in a Newsday tweet today:
Quote:
Cappy says they're keeping an eye on Strome - started slow, showing good practice habits, improving. Thinks they'll evaluate situation soon.

Ex-Isle news to watch: Kenny Jonsson's health is being closely monitored. He had been diagnosed with an infection in his small intestine, which then resulted in blood poisoning. Jönsson was placed in intensive care, and was also suffering from dehydration and sepsis, a condition that often follows an infection. Get well, KJ.

Mathew Barzal picked up five points (1G, 4A) in three games for the Seattle Thunderbirds of the Western Hockey League. The Islanders’ prospect picked up at least one point in each of his three games this week – all wins – to extend his point streak to six games. The Thunderbirds have won six straight games, as well. Barzal leads Seattle with 34 points (6G, 28A) and is currently sixth in WHL scoring.

Meanwhile, in the OHL, Joshua Ho-Sang extended his point-scoring streak to an OHL-best, 13 games. His streak is tied for the longest in the OHL this season.

On the goaltending front, Ilya Sorokin continues an amazing season so far at CSKA Moscow, and now stands at 8-3-1 in 12gp with a 0.97 GAA and a save percentage of .957.

Let's Go Islanders!

It takes some time and trouble
To separate from the stock
You sometimes have to listen to
A lot of useless talk

Wow, another miss on a breakaway  
timintey : 11/25/2015 8:02 pm : link
great
Another game, another flat team  
Funkhouser : 11/25/2015 8:05 pm : link
I'm done until Fred and his cronies are dumped. Every game is a replay of their previous game. Usually that means something needs to be shaken up. I'm not sure they have the intellect to notice this within the organization.
Shorty!  
pganut : 11/25/2015 8:12 pm : link
This time, IN our favor...Zeeker!
So, the shorty aside  
pganut : 11/25/2015 8:23 pm : link
Not sure I'd like the answer to this question: in the first period, if the teams had blank jerseys on, which one was the playoff team last season and which one missed the playoffs and is in the midst of a rebuild?

Hopefully, the Isles got their crappy period out of the way and play like they should the last two here.
Agreed  
timintey : 11/25/2015 8:27 pm : link
that was an awful period overall.

But you know Cappy wont let the know that...
KO  
pganut : 11/25/2015 8:41 pm : link
Nice work...goal!
KO sneaks one in!  
timintey : 11/25/2015 8:41 pm : link
Good period so far
Giroux  
pganut : 11/25/2015 8:43 pm : link
What a bitch. Puthim thru the boards next time he's out there.
Leddy for Giroux  
timintey : 11/25/2015 8:43 pm : link
I'll take that trade off
Clutter with a golden opportunity  
timintey : 11/25/2015 8:47 pm : link
...
Still don't know how Clutter missed that  
pganut : 11/25/2015 8:49 pm : link
And Bailey has developed a severe allergy to shooting the puck, which he overcompensates for by turning over the puck way too often.
Thanks, Martin  
pganut : 11/25/2015 9:00 pm : link
Martin taking off his own helmet gets us the extra 2. Just what you want to see when nursing a one goal lead.

Huge saves there by Jaro.
Zeeker  
feelflows : 11/25/2015 9:04 pm : link
Over thought that one.
Flyers are very chippy  
timintey : 11/25/2015 9:06 pm : link
We may see some more fights here

Did you see Schenn wailing JT in the head behind the net ? Let's hope it sets him on fire.
tim  
pganut : 11/25/2015 9:16 pm : link
I think their BS attempts at agitation play into the Isles hands. They needed something to wake them from the slumber, and this may be the start.

Jaro has been big so far. But I can tell you Bernier is hot garbage (and a big reason why Grabbo and Kulie are not producing), Zidlicky is dunzo, Strait is...Strait, and Bailey is MIA. I need to see Boychuk tee a couple up and some more dirty work in the front of the net.
Schenn has always been a piece of shit  
timintey : 11/25/2015 9:33 pm : link
and yes, Strait, Zidlicky and Bernier are all garbage... but Cappy loves them
Nice d play  
feelflows : 11/25/2015 9:35 pm : link
By Frans. You wouldn't know it from this broadcast. Brutal lol
Keith Jones logic  
feelflows : 11/25/2015 9:38 pm : link
Flyers not getting many shots on Halak...that's to the Flyers advantage.

Moron.
Dude, such a slap in the face  
pganut : 11/25/2015 9:38 pm : link
As I said, a "national broadcast" on our home ice, but it's a Flyers broadcast; their announcers, their promos and even their phone # advertised for tickets. That's an embarrassment. But, Comcast owns NBC, so....
At the beginning of the telecast  
timintey : 11/25/2015 9:45 pm : link
the lead guy commented that Jack Capuano has done a great job with this team. Really?
Does voracek  
feelflows : 11/25/2015 9:56 pm : link
Really have just one goal? Yikes.

I agree with Jones to watch out for Ghost. I have seen a lot of him with the Phantoms. That being said, he said he generates a ton of offence. Ummm 3 points?
Kuley almost blew it for us there

I was a big fan of Ghost when he was on those great Union teams in the NCAA. I think he's gonna be a good one. But he's a Flyer, so fuck him.

My favorite was Zidlicky giving it up behind the net. The smallest amount of pressure and he coughs it up.
Listening to the Flyers announcers is killing me  
The 12th Man : 11/25/2015 9:59 pm : link
I had to mute the game. We have had a number of opportunities too bad we just find the back of the net more often. Keep pushing and let's get one more.
Awwwwwww  
feelflows : 11/25/2015 10:01 pm : link
Should've been a slash? Cry flyers/announcers. Boo hoo bitches.
Nielsen got away with one there  
timintey : 11/25/2015 10:01 pm : link

Haha...same mute situation here  
pganut : 11/25/2015 10:01 pm : link
Glad we got that ENG...Fransie almost cost us one by a lackadaisical clear moments before.
Whoo hoo

Nice win.

I guess that  
feelflows : 11/25/2015 10:03 pm : link
"Flyers not getting shots through should work to their advantage "game plan backfired on Jones. Douche.

Nice.

pganut : 11/25/2015 10:06 pm : link
Was one brutal broadcast. As was enduring the 3rd D pairing. And the 3rd line (thanks to Bernier). Kudos to L4 for accepting Cappy's challenge to step up. Also glad we got the good Jaro tonight.
I know statistically they were  
JayBinQueens : 11/25/2015 10:08 pm : link
Close.

But I'm happy the islanders took philly apart.

Not even close to the same class. Even with the bafoonary
It's thanksgiving

Man.
I'm 27. Single and have a female

Tag team partner. Tonight's to a great night for the islanders
I almost feel bad  
feelflows : 11/25/2015 10:14 pm : link
For Mason. He's a very good goalie and he needs to be perfect. He basically said so.

That being said, I don't care what his GAA is, as long as he has a ton of Ls
holy shit  
feelflows : 11/25/2015 10:19 pm : link
The only thing the Flyers broadcast is talking about is the non call with a minute left.

I'm shocked they're not blaming global warming
Nice win, shit broadcast  
Patrick : 11/26/2015 12:35 am : link
I can't believe they cut to commercial as Martin and Simmons were squaring off for their fourth NHL fight.

One win is a start.

Happy Thanksgiving lads.
Happy Thanksgiving to you all  
The 12th Man : 11/26/2015 6:32 am : link
I am thankful that we won, thankful that they invented the mute button, I am thankful for JT and thankful for our 4 th line. Most of all I am thankful that in less than a week the rivalry begins again. Go Isles! Happy feasting everyone. We have a lot to be thankful for, look around whatever table you are at today and let them know how lucky we are to have them in our lives. Go Isles! Go Blue!
Indeed  
feelflows : 11/26/2015 7:30 am : link
Happy Thanksgiving brothers.

I'm Thankful for a crap load of things...but to keep it on topic, I'm Thankful that I have a good group here to talk Isles hockey with. Enjoy your meals!
Happy Thanksgiving boys  
BlueHurricane : 11/26/2015 8:46 am : link
November is almost over and while it hasn't been all that great to us it hasn't been nearly as bad as some recent Novembers. Hopefully we can round into form in December and get ready for the push in Jan/Feb.

I will say I expected a whole lot more out of this team this year. Sitting in the middle of the mess of wild card teams right now is not where I thought we would be.

Whistle Pig for everyone!!!!! Cheers
Happy Thanksgiving, boys  
pganut : 11/26/2015 8:52 am : link
Not a time today for me to be critical. Thankful for a team on the rise; thankful to have one of the world's top 5 players wearing the C; and, thankful to have our crew here to talk Isles hockey with. Enjoy your day and I hope you get to spend it with friends, family and loved ones.
Looks like  
Metnut : 11/26/2015 9:31 am : link
Stroke is back tonight. Time for this team to run off a few wins in a row.
Good catch  
pganut : 11/26/2015 9:35 am : link
Beck back to BPT, Strome recalled. I guess he gets to eat turkey with the big boys after all.
I'm thankful  
Fish : 11/26/2015 10:47 am : link
For the Rags finally losing.
