HI DOUGIE!!!!!

Lol. Good call

Starting to pick up his game scoring on the PP.

dominated the period, yet in the last couple of minutes it could've been 3-2... YUGE save by Greis on the PP, and then the post.. phew.

That was an unexpected result for that period. Need to keep pressing play; Kings got a little mo (shorthanded, even) when we laid back. Sutter will ream them at intermission, and I expect them to come out angry. Isles need to be ready, and need to take advantage of any overaggressiveness by the Kings. Good job, just keep it going.

needs to keep off of the hot dogs and Coke.

....Hrudey?

I retract Hrudey and will go with Mathieu Schneider.

Against the Kings. They don't need our help trying to get back into this game.

The Kings were 7 for 12 on the PP in their last 3 games heading into tonight.

BUT...not at all happy with the defensive gap control; Kings getting a lot of room on their break-ins. Can't rely on Greiss saving them every time. Tighten up.

This feels like a typical 3 goal lead isles game. Hope im wrong

O Captain, my captain.

Strait with the Apple

put the girl to sleep, and there was no rush because of the lead haha

Nice still up 3

I didn't realize how lagged I was.. caught up now, I think...58 seconds left in 2nd

By JT. After that weak goal for LA I was nervous

They stopped like period was over

spilled..h20...on..my...keyboard...I'm..not..typing...like..this...all..night...later...boys

1 to go. How did they look in the 2nd overall?

Kings came out more spirited as expected over the first half of the period, Isles rode it out and created chances of their own. Weak goal LA that A) probably should have been blown dead, and B) Greiss was indecisive on and probably should have saved. But JT got it right back. A little sloppy the last minute of the 2nd, but again, overall good. They outshot the Kings again in the 2nd, and mustered many more hits than in the first.

Gotta buckle down here in the 3rd. Kings will play desperate.

Get a Goal here look out

If KO wasn't lazy on his shift, he wouldn't have hurt his team by taking a stupid penalty.

About KO

Kule with a sweet play.

By Lucic this time.

Bad puck management by the offense in the LA zone; Brock passed to a bad area instead of his teammates along the blue line.

Looch sorta kicked it in, but I think it stands.

Your hats boys

Doughty just jousted and punches Strome, no call.

Our boys are growing up. Becoming veterans right before our eyes. They have gained great experience through the years and getting where we need them to be.

.

Down 2, on a PP.

So Kulie's stick was broken, but on a slash by Doughty. They're letting him in particular get away with a lot.

And we get penalized

Hammer

SHG ENG...we'll take it!

To go on a little 6-7 game win streak

Huge win.

Strome and Lee and Brock with good games. Grabbo and Kule and Zeeker all good.
Only poor game goes to Okposo tonight. BAiley was meh.

On to the canes who we have issues with. Trap game.

Love it,

Nice win against a quality team

But otherwise, a very, very nice win against a very good team.

Isles close out the Western Conference very nicely at Barclays, finishing 12-0-2 against the West (and wouldn't you know my shit luck was to have come up for one of the stinkin' OTLs).

I will give credit to Strait, who has now played two solid games in a row.

Fun fact from the Isles Twitter: with his goal tonight against LA, JT has now scored a goal against every NHL team.

Stars: 3. Boychuk, 2. Zeeker, 1. JT

world class. Wow

Nice win everyone.

I was there with ya, bud. And for the other OTL (Chicago on opening night).

after during the post game? What was up his ass?

...his not wanting the boys getting too high after wins nor too low after losses. He seems to point out the good in losses to make sure everyone stays even keel, so I guess he compensates by not letting any heads get swell in victories. He's Simple Jack, after all, so I don't think we need to read much into it beyond that. This is a huge grind to the finish with games pretty much every other day, so I think he wants to keep them focused.

That said, it really was a good win, handling a top team as they did yesterday.

First time at the Barclays, hoping for some revenge against the Wings.

By the time I got home from the game I missed it but they were talking about it on Hockey Night Live and they were confused because they thought it was one of the more solid games the Isles have played all year.

I've never seen a player get booed as often as Strait. Even when they announced his name on the secondary assist for JT's goal he was getting booed lol.

looks like the good guys have been "corsi"ing the fuck out of teams lately.
