Beware misfiring cannons...onto 'Lumbus and the Jackets.
Same lineup as last game, Jaro Halak guarding the net. See, Strait acting like a punching bag standing up for Hicks earned him Cappy's eternal love and respect. Now he'll never sit.
KO plays in his 500th NHL game tonight. Congrats, Oakie.
Let's Go Islanders!
Keep on looking forward
No use in looking round
Carry your head above the crowd
And they won't bring you down

Halak blows
Halak didnt really have a shot at either. The 1st he gad 3 guys in front and didnt see it. 2nd was a terrible play by de haan that lead to a 2-1 onetimer he had no shot at
You are correct sir. Like I said following on Twitter before so assumed he let up softy. Really want him to find his game where he steals it
Gutless Puke, thanks. I've also been a fan for 40 years. These are brighter days and it's nice to have something worthwhile again. I'm enjoying the ride and hoping they eventually mature into an elite team. Bumpy ride, but galaxies beyond the mid-nineties to early-2010s dreck we endured.
I think Hickey's mostly been good but he's small, so he can get pushed around at times .
Wow.... great chance
just shoot
win for the good guys!
Islanders are 11-9-2 this year against teams that currently hold a playoff spot... however... 0-3 in their last 3, and 2-5 over their last 7 (Rangers and Stars).
Important to come out, play well, and beat a very good Kings team.
14th PP% - not great but still better than 50% of the teams.
Biggest stat to me; They're 2nd in the NHL on the Penalty Kill. This has been the biggest and most obvious improvement for the team this year. Assuming they get into the playoffs, I think this improvement can help sway a series.
Nice night for Barzal last night. 3 goals and an assist.

Good. He's been slumping a bit since the WJC. Dal Colle on the other hand...wowzah
It's crazy. On any given night we've found ourselves anywhere between 4 and 9... even 3 when the Rangers slump a little.

about some players that might be available. Tell me yes or no and what you think it might take to get them.
Kris Versteeg LW Carolina
Alex Tanguay LW Colorado
Andrew Ladd LW Jets
Mikkel Boedker LW Coyotes
Jamie McGinn LW Buffalo
Nicklas Grossman D Coyotes
Kris Russell D Calgary
Personally, I would like Ladd or Boedker and then take a flyer on Tanguay. I also would like Russell to solidify the 5 or 6th spot. Thoughts?
I like Russell - do you think Boedker would be much of an upgrade to what we have - or more so an acquisition to push everyone else on the team?
I got stuck in a meeting last night, that I thooght would not last as long as it did. I always hate those. That being said Looks like we had a great start to the game then a lapse and then they turned it up big time. Need for Lee to keep scoring on the PP. Will help this team big time.
As for Russell I too like him he would fit perfectly here. As for Boedker I think he would look great next to JT. I has a nice % of goals scored on his shot. I think with JT he would score even more.

Pass on both dmen on that list.
Free, what do you not like about Russell?

The islanders do not need anymore undersized defensemen.
He's Thomas Hickey, really. And his point will go down here because he'd be on the lower pairing of defense...I actually think Hickey is more productive if you put him in Calgary!
So... error?

Lee scored on the power play, right?
he's been slumping since the WJC.
FYI for the Dal Colle is a bust camp:
so far in Kingston:
14 Games 15 G 16A
that's 31 points in 14 games. yep
talk about a major disappointment since producing in Vancouver.. I'm glad he didn't take Snow's deal!!!!
Absolutely. $1.5m salary I believe. He will go early in the waiver process.
