NFT: Islanders at Panthers

Fish : 11/27/2015 3:14 pm
I turn my back to the wind
To catch my breath
Before I start off again.
Driven on without a moment to spend
To pass an evening with a drink and a friend

I let my skin get too thin
I'd like to pause
No matter what I pretend
Like some pilgrim
Who learns to transcend
Learns to live as if each step was the end

(Time stand still)
I'm not looking back
But I want to look around me now
(Time stand still)
See more of the people and the places that surround me now
Freeze this moment a little bit longer
Make each sensation a little bit stronger
Experience slips away
Experience slips away

I turn my face to the sun
Close my eyes
Let my defences down
All those wounds that I can't get unwound

I let my past go too fast
No time to pause
If I could slow it all down
Like some captain, whose ship runs aground
I can wait until the tide comes around

(Time stand still)
I'm not looking back
But I want to look around me now
(Time stand still)
See more of the people and the places that surround me now
Freeze this moment a little bit longer
Make each impression a little bit stronger
Freeze this motion a little bit longer
The innocence slips away
The innocence slips away...

Summer's going fast, nights growing colder
Children growing up, old friends growing older
Freeze this moment a little bit longer
Make each sensation a little bit stronger
Experience slips away
Experience slips away...
The innocence slips away

To our boy Pganut. Lets go Islanders. Stromer is back.

Head-scratcher....  
pganut : 11/27/2015 9:45 pm : link
Yet another opponent (through 56 minutes) who has somehow avoided taking a penalty - for the entire game - against the Isles. Not one. Strange, eh?

He almost didn't shoot it.
Dave  
pganut : 11/27/2015 9:47 pm : link
I saw that, too. When he had the "best" chance, he pulled it back and I was screaming. Staple actually thinks he was trying to pass when it went in off Pirri.
Love Matty Marts

Will go with anyone!
If the isles have a PK for this

I haven't seen the replay but I agree totally with your first part. He waited so long... Whether or not it was a shot, he passed up on the best opportunity he had. I'll take the bounce :)
Wow!  
timintey : 11/27/2015 9:56 pm : link
great save by Luongo
KO with a golden opportunity  
timintey : 11/27/2015 9:59 pm : link
and shatters his stick...
Comically bad decisionmaking with the puck  
pganut : 11/27/2015 10:05 pm : link
By the Isles. This is amateur level stuff.
We sure do play some ugly hockey sometimes.  
BlueHurricane : 11/27/2015 10:05 pm : link
holy hell.
It all started with that stupid attempted touch pass by KO  
pganut : 11/27/2015 10:06 pm : link
Just get it to the point on the OT PP, stupid.
Atrocious

Sick of it. Bailey fumbling bumbling
Bailey and Zidlicky  
timintey : 11/27/2015 10:08 pm : link
nearly killed us...
Halak  
Fish : 11/27/2015 10:11 pm : link
Needs to step up
can someone make a save??  
timintey : 11/27/2015 10:11 pm : link
?
Holy shit  
BlueHurricane : 11/27/2015 10:11 pm : link
Anyone wanna play goal here???
JT is awesome  
timintey : 11/27/2015 10:12 pm : link
and I think I could have scored on KO's
Neither goalie deserved to "win" the shootout  
pganut : 11/27/2015 10:14 pm : link
That was pertty pathetic.

That was the most  
JayBinQueens : 11/27/2015 10:14 pm : link
Insane back and forth shoot out I've ever seen
Jaro  
pganut : 11/27/2015 10:16 pm : link
Needs to give back the "No 5 Hole" t-shirt he wears. Serriously, would it have killed you to make one fuckin' save? Shit, when we can get Bailey toscore in a SO, you need to win it.
Overall a pretty shitty game by NYI  
timintey : 11/27/2015 10:16 pm : link
guess we have to feel fortunate to get a point out of it...
A moral victory?  
pganut : 11/27/2015 10:21 pm : link
That's for shit teams. It's what you expect from FLA, but an outright disappointment for the Islanders. But, as we see time and time again, the opponent didn't beat us...WE beat us with 2 periods of poor play, terrible decisionmaking, treating the puck like it was a brick and mental lapses. Both goalies were sieves in the SO, but theirs was slightly better. It's amazing the parallels between the Giants and the Isles...they rise to the occasion against top teams, but consistently play down to the level of lesser opponents. Crush trailer trash like these inbreds.
I'm done with the moral victories, too.  
Mike in Long Beach : 11/27/2015 10:25 pm : link
It's always something not working out. Are you kidding me, Halak?
Halak  
tikimvp : 11/27/2015 10:35 pm : link
I like the guy but I always have this gnawing feeling that we need better at the position to really get to next level.
This team is underperforming in a big way  
Dave M : 11/27/2015 10:39 pm : link
I know Bailey scored but his effort was atrocious tonight. Certain guys suck every night whom I don't have to mention. The 26 second 4on3 pp was a complete joke. No one skated at all. Weight needs to go too. Actually the Islanders deserved to lose in regulation and then they deserved to lose in OT on the breakaway and ultimately they lost in so. We're going no where fast. I think they are good enough to compete for a wc but that's at all. I doubt they can do that current coaches.

He reminds me a lot of Corey Crawford and their numbers are almost identical for their careers. I look at a guy like Crawford who has multiple rings and I think we can do it with Halak.... but I do ultimately agree with you. There's just something I can't put my finger on, but I'm not sold on the guy in a big game yet.

I think after that last year+ with Nabokov playing way below average goaltending, seeing an actual competent guy in there like Halak made him seem better than he actually is. Kind of like when Kerry Collins came to the Giants.

The sight of Bailey really makes me vomit. 14 games without a goal? This team needs a shakeup before it's too late.
absolutely not a moral victory  
timintey : 11/28/2015 8:58 am : link
My point was that it was a shitty game and we actually got a point. Actually, it's pretty unbelievable. It sucks that we can't dominate teams like this. Is this the way it's going to be the rest of the season?? Ugggghhh
Even Arthur Staple  
Funkhouser : 11/28/2015 9:42 am : link
Is stepping up his game lately, calling out JT after he sounded like Fred with his post game comments.
tim  
pganut : 11/28/2015 9:47 am : link
You know I'm not arguing with you. The moral victory comment was more around feeling okay with getting a point. That may have been the case 2-3 years ago in a game like this, but the Isles are a team that should be moving into top 10 space; they are too talented not to. It's disturbing that there are trends we're seeing that should have long ago been left in the rear view mirror. Comes back to not optimizing lineups with the players that best give us the opportunity to win, and the pervasive "we did some things well" in losses commentary from coaches and players alike. Too comfortable in the room. There needs to be more accountability top to bottom. I still have faith that they will go on a big run and play more like they should be playing. Perhaps the typical January JT beastmode comes early this year.
Pga  
Fish : 11/28/2015 11:13 am : link
We haven't seen a run since first half of last season. When do you think it's coming?
Law of averages, Fish  
pganut : 11/28/2015 11:46 am : link
Hot start last season followed by January-April mediocrity; this season slow start followed by Jan-April prosperity. Even steven.
Hickey off of IR  
pganut : 11/28/2015 12:04 pm : link
Berube to IR. Still awaiting word on if Hickey is in the lineup but it's promising.

Talk about regressing. I forgot we were carrying 3 goalies again.
Hickey off IR  
marbles : 11/28/2015 12:36 pm : link
Maybe Strait sits..

Oh, never mind.
I think the next move  
Fish : 11/28/2015 12:42 pm : link
The islanders make is pivotal for this franchise. Hamonic, Bailey and Okposo could be packaged in the hamonic deal kinda mirroring the Winnipeg/buffalo deal from last season. A 6 player deal is possible here and part of the reason a hamonic deal hasn't gone though yet is because it's a challenge to get a win/win deal out there.

Have you seen the latest Eklund rumor? It's a bit far fetched, plus he's never been right.
No  
Fish : 11/28/2015 3:12 pm : link
Do tell.
Hamonic, Okposo and a 1st  
Funkhouser : 11/28/2015 3:18 pm : link
To Columbus for Ryan Jonnasen and a 2nd. Hamonic then sent to Calgary.
What does  
Fish : 11/28/2015 4:17 pm : link
Calgary give up in that deal?
Eklund....  
feelflows : 11/28/2015 4:22 pm : link
I think my dog has been right more than that waste of air.

I'm not sure.  
Funkhouser : 11/28/2015 4:23 pm : link
Like I said, this was on Eklund, so most likely this rumor came from his ass.
