Post-Game Talk: #5| New York Islanders @ Pittsburgh Penguins | May 24th | 7:30 PM | F/2OTW 3-2

[Tres Peleches]

come on people...a few games is not enough to unhinge Varly from the starter position.

Varly's been amazing all year and has 2 bad games and everyone is saying he's over the hill..wtf?

BEING bad and PLAYING bad are two different things

Varlamov is a very good goaltender, but lately has been in a funk

At this particular moment, Sorokin clearly gives this team the best chance to win

 

[periferal]

maybe you can chalk your card. I used to chalk my id and it worked at bogarts.

That’s actually funny as hell.

I remember those days.

 

[The Wahligator]

Dare I say Sorokin has the makings of the most talented goalie in Isles history? His athleticism and lateral movement are otherworldly

 

[MikeyMike01]

Varly is fantastic. I think he'll adjust to more of a backup role nicely if he's in a good situation. He really didn't want to leave Denver despite Grubauer coming in, so he's not one to make waves if he's not the #1.

Lehner/Greiss split starts 43/39 so I think you’d be looking at something similar

 

[Isles Junkie]

I hope Pierre McGuire is ok. He sounded so depressed we won

I hate Pierre but I won't lie, his evisceration of Jarri's poor play at the end of the game was pretty damn funny. he pulled no punches

Well I’m not saying that, but a coach would lose the room if he didn’t start Sorokin Wednesday. And he’d have to get injured or fall flat on his face to not start him whenever the game after that is.

Things just went from great to greater.

 

[Axel574]

Anyone been to one of the most recent islander games at the Coliseum?

want to know if they’ll let me in if I got my second Pfizer vaccination shot 13.5 days from the point of Wednesday nights puck drop.

Just put some white out on your card... The easiest, forgeable "official document" in history. Lol

If anyone finds the Chris King call of Bailey’s goal can someone post it? Thanks in advance

In the past I believe people said that Hofstra Radio Twitter usually tweets all the clips/highlights.

 

[Axel574]

Not to take anything away from Bailey when he's the guy that scored the goal, but suffice to say I'm glad the play was kind of broken and he shot it later than he probably originally intended.

It was broken because he was hooked from behind.. pens double f***ed themselves. Ha

 

[JKP]

I really can’t stand that guy. So glad he’s not on Canadian tv any more. Although he does seem very much in love with Pelech. Seeing for the first time what the rest of us have seen for a couple years…

Illya seems to really respond to high pressure situations, consistently looked calm cool and collected and knows how to always be in good position. He’s finally arrived and it’s been awesome to watch

[Tres Peleches]

Thanks me!

You’re welcome!

Also, is it me or does Chris King sound exactly like Steve Dangle when he gets excited

He sounded like he was having his way with some cookies.

Did I miss the cookie-fetish phase of the board?

That’s a shame

I guess you could say... it’s a shame he was toiling away in Russia all those years. He’s finally unleashed and it’s quite something.

It's the White Whale's show from here on out! He is too talented not to ride and he can steal you a cup ala Hasek, Thomas or Binnington. And he's way better than Thomas or Binnington!

 

[PK Cronin]

Thanks me!

You’re welcome!

Also, is it me or does Chris King sound exactly like Steve Dangle when he gets excited

He does sound like Dangle a bit, but man is he awful. He's not too bad when he's just doing routine play by play but his big moment calls are always cringeworthy.

 

[Throttle]

He sounds amateur and awful.

I agree, but the Buffalo guy Rick Jeannerette has a similar sound with the cracking voice on big goals but everyone seems to love him.
