NFT: Flyers at Islanders, 6pm Game Thread

pganut : 1/22/2017 4:31 pm
Need to finish the back-to-back strong by beating the mongrels from Philthadelphia. They played last night also, losing to the Devs, 4-1. These division games mean a ton, and the Islanders need to put a quality effort in today...the Flyers have lost five of six, won just two of their last 10 and three of their last 15.

Boychuk and Clutterbuck return today. Mayfield to the pressbox. The forward sitting for Clutter is TBD. It should be Gionta that sits, but given Nelson's disappearing act, could be a game to let him get his head right. We'll see.

Thomas Greiss returns to guard the nets today; he has allowed two goals or less in 9 of his last 10 games.

Mathew Barzal keeps his torrid post-WJC pace with another 2 goals and an assist in last night's win over Vancouver. In his 18 games played for the T-Birds, Barzal is 6-22-28 (1.56ppg). Highlights are here. His 3rd period goal...ridiculous.

Looks like Ladd will be ready to return for Tuesday's game.

Let's Go Islanders

F: Lee-Tavares-Bailey; Beauvillier-Nelson-Strome; Prince-Quine-Chimera; Kulemin-Cizikas-Clutterbuck

D: Leddy-Pelech; Hickey-Boychuk; CDH-Seidenberg
Good start  
pganut : 1/22/2017 6:50 pm : link
Reminiscent of yesterday's start; outshot pretty well, but still did enough to earn a 1-0 lead. Leddy gets things moving, after another JT steal and break-in.

I know I'm probably jinxing things, but Greiss is now up to 140 minutes of shutout goaltending.

Gotta be a quicker whistle there.No way could anyone see the puck there. Regardless, should be no goal given the intent to blow the whistle.

Good, no goal so far. Now a 5 on 4 as the 5 on 3 is over.
Quine is fine!

2-0. This is resembling last night.

Just waiting for that shitbird Gudas's usual scumbaggery.
There goes the shutout streak  
JayBinQueens : 1/22/2017 7:35 pm : link
need to get one back now
That was a clear we should have had  
pganut : 1/22/2017 7:38 pm : link
JT and Bailey were a bit passive trying to get it out at the line.

I'd like to see us take the body more. The strategy of relying on Greiss to save everything can only go so far. 154 minutes of shutout goaltending; impressive.

And who let all the Philly trash into the building? Was it bring a homeless person in for free day?

I'm really getting sick of Strome.
Yeah, that was frustrating with Strome  
pganut : 1/22/2017 8:08 pm : link
Still have no idea how the Isles didn't score on the early flurry.

Off Pelech's skate and in, unfortunate against these scumbags.

Isles need to play more urgently here. And maybe PHI will finally get called for one of the multitudes of slashes or hooks they've been getting away with all game.
long shift  
JayBinQueens : 1/22/2017 8:25 pm : link
but leddy needed to get that.

Great pressure on the PP
Amazing not to score on that PP  
pganut : 1/22/2017 8:25 pm : link
JT, Strome and Bailey all with open nets to shoot at. Gotta get one here.
bad mistake  
JayBinQueens : 1/22/2017 8:26 pm : link
need to take advantage
Shoot the puck, Bailey  
pganut : 1/22/2017 8:29 pm : link
FFS, this team with its insistence on making the highlight reel pass gives up scoring chances way too often, for far too long.

And someone needs to set a few insect traps to allow these Flyers fans to crawl into.
Stupid play by Clutterbuck

Putting your team on the PK with 2:50 to go.
Bad penalty by Clutterbuck

They are spent.
Huge point  
timintey : 1/22/2017 8:42 pm : link
Would love to steal a second!
Quine with JT on the OT first line?  
pganut : 1/22/2017 8:45 pm : link
A different partner, we might have won this already.
Bad TO by Quine  
timintey : 1/22/2017 8:45 pm : link
great save Greiss!!
Dammit!!!  
timintey : 1/22/2017 8:48 pm : link

JT cost us that one  
pganut : 1/22/2017 8:48 pm : link
MIsses breakaway, stays on too long and gets stripped in our zone, game over.

So, a point, but sucks to lose the other, especially to these fucksticks.
Bad  
Dave M : 1/22/2017 8:50 pm : link
Guys getting stuck out there. Just change. And where the hell was the 3rd guy on that goal? Terrible changing.
Love JT  
KWhite2250 : 1/22/2017 8:50 pm : link
But he needs to get off the ice sooner or just get the puck out. Even ice the damn thing there
