NFT: Devils at Islanders, 6pm Game Thread

pganut : 2/19/2017 12:57 pm
Okay, boys, this is simple: start the game like you did last night, and you'll be behind the eight ball, again. Start the game like you finished the last 20 and you win this going away. I don't know what else to say. Let's be in a good place come about 8:30 or so tonight, because that road trip they leave for after today makes of breaks the season.

Lineups around 4pm; the only known is Berube in net. Say a prayer.

Let's Go Islanders
*makes or breaks

Strongly suggesting they don't break.
C'mon Devs  
Sec 103 : 2/19/2017 2:04 pm : link
Need a strong finish...
Don'y mind the Isles at all, but need the points
Lineups  
pganut : 2/19/2017 4:06 pm : link
Isles keep the same forwards; 7D skated, so there's a possible gametime change to watch there.

Devils keep the same lineup, Cammallieri scratched again, Kincaid in net.
Missed the opening goal by the Devs  
pganut : 2/19/2017 6:41 pm : link
But tuned in just in time to see Strome tie it. Kincaid just robbed Bailey who had a open net to shoot at. Isles applying good pressure right now.
Kincaid had no idea where the puck was

Zeeker with a fairly easy one there.
pg - by yourself in here tonight?  
Drewcon40 : 2/19/2017 7:26 pm : link
how you holding up on that unfortunate news? Enjoy the game, my friend.
Strome heating up  
pganut : 2/19/2017 7:27 pm : link
Seems like he just needed a new voice and is confident under Weight.

Kill this, keep the 2 goal lead.
Hey Drew

All good, my friend. Thanks.

Yeah, quiet in here, huh?

Ladd with the shortie! 4-1.
Weird period  
pganut : 2/19/2017 7:51 pm : link
Isles dominate for a 15 minute stretch, go up 4-1. Let up on the intensity that got them there and the Devs get 2 to make it a one goal game heading into the 3rd.

Isles need that same urgency from last night's 3rd period, because this otherwise becomes a battle of 2 very shaky backups, which does not at all fill me with confidence.
Sounds like  
JayBinQueens : 2/19/2017 8:05 pm : link
It's been a good effort so far minus the 7 minute stretch or so.

Hoping for a strong 3rd and 2 points
That's the way to start the 3rd!  
pganut : 2/19/2017 8:07 pm : link
JT PPG...beautiful passes from 18 and 27.
1 minute  
Mike in NY : 2/19/2017 8:08 pm : link
And the 3 goal lead is back!

I would rather gamble on Gibson or Williams versus paying Kincaid
Chimmer!  
pganut : 2/19/2017 8:09 pm : link
Wowsers. 2 goals in the first minute of the 3rd.
my phone's dead  
feelflows : 2/19/2017 8:10 pm : link
so I'll say this here...my daughter said "again???" hahahaha
Just Caught up  
Dave M : 2/19/2017 8:15 pm : link
It's a much better effort tonight in particularly on in the physicality area. That and not just settling for weak Cappy tit shots from the point.
Why do  
JayBinQueens : 2/19/2017 8:16 pm : link
I have a feeling this win won't come easy
Whiff by Berube  
pganut : 2/19/2017 8:23 pm : link
Jay, you're right. Nothing easy with this team.

Because Berube has no business being on this team. But, that's on the inept GM.
Not the prettiest win  
pganut : 2/19/2017 8:48 pm : link
But they don't award style points.

As some us have discussed offline, Garth definitely needs to swallow his pride and recall Halak. Points are critical, and there's no comparison as to which goalie gives us a better chance in that backup role.
And now he great journey begins  
Mike in Long Beach : 2/20/2017 9:20 am : link
This is going to be the biggest test for this team in the Tavares era, imo. For some context Florida is KILLING it on their west coast trip right now. We need to do what they're doing.
