Not good. Please be ok Lehner.

That’s not good news regarding the call-up of Gibson. I love Greiss but I truly don’t believe in him fully as a number one as much as I do Lehner.

Right now, it just means that he's not playing tomorrow night....which Greiss probably would have had anyway. Good chance Greiss has the next three games (Thurs/Sat/Mon) and then we'll see where we are. Hopefully its not a concussion.

I’m hopeful that’s the case. Don’t get me wrong, I really like Greiss. But, he’s the perfect number two. Ideal number two. Lehner is a number one and I personally have more faith in him down the stretch and eventually the playoffs if it comes to that. Let’s hope it isn’t serious.

Greiss starting a 3rd game?

How the Kids Make the Islanders Better

This is a good article and it elaborates on what many of us anecdotally observed. The team is better when the kids are playing. They bring urgency, energy, and Ho Sang in particular brings a skill set that is sorely missing in this line-up. They can't count on Casey Cizikas to provide this team's offense while the top 3 lines are not producing. Something has got to give and JHS should be replacing somebody. Maybe Flip. Someone also has to light a fire under some of our forwards because quite a few of them are not producing. As good as they have been doing that is mostly Trotz system but eventually the lack of scoring was going to catch up to them. Overall, the team has had a good run this year, but they could be better.

 

[Mr Misunderstood]

Ugh, poop on a stick!

 

[Kevin27NYI]

Greiss repeating 15-16!

 

[eoin92]

I really hope this isn’t because Lehner is injured. I hope it’s because Lou is bringing back the three headed goalie.

 

[Le Grec]

I think that would be a hell of a line to be honest.

Yup, I'm all for responsible play, but when the offence is so limited, it might be best to put all the eggs in one basket instead of spreading it out...

I havent commented much on the JHS situation but IMO his first games this year were literally near perfect. He was changing at the right time, dumping the puck at the right time, not turning it over. As the games when on, his shine definitely wore off, however I dont think he ever got to the point where he was bad enough to send down. Beau has been just as dumb and frustrating for long stretches at times.

According to Barry Trotz, he saw what you wrote differently. But he said he would be better when he comes back up. I truly hope for the Islanders sake he is

Good stuff. The assumption always is that sending a kid down (or to the press box) is a punishment. But with a good coach like Trotz (and GM Lou) I think we can assume that there is a purpose and it is to improve the player. It's a cycle of challenge-build confidence-challenge-build confidence.

I’m confused. Did they send him down again? Lol

Edit- never mind saw the date. Thank you.

Maybe its not that differently. Its seems like me and others are always focusing on whether or not he is doing the right thing defensively, line changes...etc. It sounds like alot of it was that he was just not producing offensively, which I agree with. Just surprised that ended up being one of the bigger sticking points.

MDC, JHS and Gibson!

Start 3 IV's with D5W

They've got to cut this out. I can only fit so many "Emergency!"s in a single post, and we're running out of D5W!!

It's making us all chuckle. I'm still trying to figure out Avery's getup. Either "Puritan-chic" is a hot new look in his circles, or he got a deal on some old costumes from "The Village" and is blazing his own trail.

Yeah, he’s “blazing” alright

I thought the get up was just "hipster dou che"

Even they would not dress like that. He's more like a Irish biker priest.
