Every division has a stinker or two. When your division contains at least 3 contenders you are no longer the red headed step-child of the league. PIT/NYI/NYR are all legit contenders.

I'm still pissed the refs saved his life a few years back when he was jawing to start with trevor gillies pre puck drop at the end of a game and the refs sent them both to the room.

That was a pretty good win from the team tonight.
Thought that offensively they were really creating some chances. Strome had a great night, as demonstrated by yet another multipoint game. Strait was a positive tonight, which is surprising and great, and Hickey rebounded as well. Johnson gave the team what they needed and made a few key stops when the game was still tight.
Savard is a POS.
Really big game against the Rags on Tuesday. Hopefully the team puts a little separation between the two because we know every time we scoreboard watch it doesn't do us any good. Need to handle our own business.
The most recent penalty time will not start until the first one expires. It's a real ***** to stack penalties like that. All kinds of crazy consequences.
Here's the rule per wiki:
"When two players on one team are in the penalty box at the same time, it becomes a 5 on 3 situation. When a third player of the same team gets a penalty before either of the other two have expired, it remains 5 on 3 and it becomes a stacked penalties situation. This means that the third penalty will start when one of the others expire, whether the time expires or the opposing team scores on the powerplay. This is because there can be no fewer than three skaters for each team on the ice at one time. This also means that the player whose penalty expires first out of the three must wait for a stoppage in play, or the expiration of the second penalty, before leaving the penalty box so that it is appropriately 5 on 3, 5 on 4, and 5 on 5 in succession for each respective situation. In overtime, only 4 skaters are played per team. If a team gets two penalties before the first expires, the team keeps three skaters on the ice. Instead, the other team is allowed to play an extra skater for the duration, making it a 5 on 3 situation, rather than a 4 on 2.[20]"
That damn monkey just keeps coming back for more.

That was Doug Weight chewing gum and sipping water. Look in his eyes and it breeds desire. Unfortunately it doesn't have that affect on the PP units.

But that goes both ways - if you took out the Shoot-out winner point (i.e. if the game isn't decided by OT, then the game is a tie; alternatively, to recognize that the impressive shootout record we have is to a large part chance).
Then, Pittsburgh would lead the division with 54pts, Washington and the Isles would be tied at 51pts, and the Rags would be at 48pts with 4 games in hand.
The Isles are within a Ranger victory on Tuesday of essentially being in an even position with the Rangers. (As I write this, the Rags are up 2-0 on the Sharks).

YES! YES! YES! YES!
missed the game but watching the replay, Capuano is an idiot for putting on Tavares and Okposo at the end, like when he called a timeout against Detroit a couple of years ago when the Islanders were up by 3 goals with like a minute left, doing things like this can be costly as it will just piss off the opponent for the next time we play them, or it can create an injury like with Dubinsky slashing Okposo or that scum at the end of the game, Capuano is a real idiot
and if it is Weight who is responsible for this than he is the idiot, doing things like this will come back and bite us in the ass, not a good reputation to have

You can argue in this case he shouldn't have put Tavares on the ice, but the timeout made sense since Tavares played a long shift and the Islanders iced the puck
there were 23 seconds left in the game and the Isles were up by 4, I agree with Don Cherry in this clip that that injury thing was an excuse, regardless of how long Tavares was on the Ice I am sure he could have sucked up the last 23 seconds or gone right to the bench after the puck dropped
Cherry was wrong however about the Wings winning their next game against us

rags win tonight again
Tuesday night is crucial.
Tuesday night is showdown time for bragging rights (for now).
We beat them already.
No Isles fan should fool themselves or be arrogant and ignorant about the Rags, they are a very good team. We are a very good team. I am saying very close to equal just depends on execution, momentum, maybe puck luck.
This should be a very good game. Both teams have a fast pace, fast skating team. They have Henrik and that is always an advantage no matter how good Halak is playing. Could be a real defensive game but not a borefest like the Devils. These two teams do not play Devils hockey.
AV is a very good coach and will have them prepared. Cappy/Weight?
If it sounds like I have respect for them you are right. It is not th various players there I hate.......it is their entitled, arrogant fan base that makes them Pee Smells.
Time for Tavares and Okposo to step up and lead. JT has been there lately, Okposo not so much.
I want this one. LGI
100% agree..they are blistering hot right now their special teams are both clicking and Henrik is locked in at the moment. Hopefully Jaro stays in the net and doesn't have a bone head stick handling mistake. I also don't want Kreider bowling over Jaro, something about that guy I don't trust.
Gonna be a tough game, definitely a playoff feel and sure the boys will be up for the challenge.

He is obviously trying not to look directly into Cherry's suit on the monitor. Like looking into the sun.

Any chance Lubo is back on Tuesday? Strait is scary out there, and Cappy isn't smart enough to keep him away from the top two lines.

He was placed on IR as of this past Monday, so he would be eligible to come off for the game on Tuesday.

I REALLY hope Lubo is back for Tuesdays game, the idea of Strait in against the Rags makes me cringe (especially with Cappys crush on him).

I checked out the CBJ board to see what their fans thought of the Isles, and wow, they are like the polar opposite of Rags fans. I want to share these two quotes because I can't remember other teams' fans feeling this way about our beloved Islanders:
"We aren't supposed to be as good as the Isles, but we're not even in the same league."
"Now the Islanders...now there's a first class hockey team. They can fly out there, their passes are crisp and accurate, very dynamic team. Wouldn't surprise me in the slightest to see them representing the East in the SCF this year."
I think CBJ is a good team having a bad stretch, but they looked bad from what I saw of last night (which admittedly wasn't much), but it's amazing to see a solid team's fans impressed by the Islanders after all these years.
