GDT: #5| New York Islanders @ San Jose Sharks | October 14th | 10:30 PM | F/W 3-1

[Benedict Kovalchuk]

Can we somehow force even more crappy passes on this PP?

 

[19 in a row]

I am a Bailey guy, always have been, but trying to skate the puck in with 3 D standing at the blue line waiting for him is not a good idea.

Did our guys take the summer off...like sat fishing by the lake? They dont look ready at all

There is no point in the drop pass when trying to enter the zone on the PP. They send the puck so far back, it loses all effect; the second unit is particularly guilty of this.

greiss is so scary to watch

When none of your defensemen wanna touch the puck, it makes it slightly more difficult for a goalie. None of our guys want the puck, NONE

They think it allows the puck carrier to gain more speed while causing the defenders to stop moving, so in theory, the puck carrier just needs to make a single move and he's in. Unfortunately it never works that way.

we need a break here, a fluky goal or individual effort, it is not a matter of if but when the sharks will score given the play.

 

[BTrotts19]

I hope we get a point tonight, but not liking our chances..

greiss has always had bad rebound control

This team needs a shake down....I think next season the team looks totally different

It’s as if he saw Ho Sang and Barzal and said “I can do that!” But, he can’t.

 

[Jester9881]

Islanders don't have a shot yet in the 3rd..... Sharks have 10, and had to kill a penalty.

 

[19 in a row]

why do they get a whistle right away when puck is loose between pads yet greiss has it covered for 3 or 4 seconds before they blow whistle.. not the first game it seems that way.. weird.

 

[Benedict Kovalchuk]

Greiss is saving this team right now.

 

[PK Cronin]

Unlucky bounce for Barzal, good play by him.

 

[PK Cronin]

It’s as if he saw Ho Sang and Barzal and said “I can do that!” But, he can’t.

To be fair, they can't either...at least on the PP.

 

[CodeE]

You can feel San Jose will get the goal they need eventually with this uninspired play

No one should try to skate in under those circumstances.. JT drives me nuts when he does that against multiple defenders at the blue line on PP or 3on3 OT.. has cost us before.

 

[Strait2thecup]

Am I the only one sitting here wondering whether JT really wants to be on this team? He's been invisible

 

[19 in a row]

wow.. how did he stop that. just hanging on now.

it's gotta be soon

The team isn't playing in the offensive zone at all and he's been pretty dominant defensively tonight. Not sure what you guys are watching that you're harping on him constantly.

 

[PK Cronin]

Great backcheck from Ho-Sang, wow.

 

[Jester9881]

Is SJ playing a 1-2-2? I can't tell because they're barely ever on defense....
