It is kind of funny to think Sorokin was sensational and allowed 5 goals on 31 shots. The shots were only 38-31. Way people were talking you would think the shots were 50-11. And throw in that they were shorthanded more double the amount of time. Refs screwed us as usual. We get called for phantom too many men penalties in game 7 of the cup semifinals, but they cant be called against our opponents in game 3 of the regular season.

That's the final shots on goal. What was it mid-game when you were insisting the Islanders were playing better?

Also, someone check Pulock for a concussion. He must have one, considering he decided to wind up for a slap shot from like 15 feet on basically a breakaway
Either that or he’s just stupid
Either that or he’s just stupid
like Pulock's shot or Hughes?
Pulock knew a guy was closing in on him he should have taken a wrist shot 100 percent that play
but lucky to get a point yes.

I've seen a lot of love for Lee early on for his hitting and stellar board play and agree. Unfortunately he is becoming Charraesque in open ice. I admire him tailoring his game to a third line role but at age 33 he is as slow as molasses.

It was deflected because Pulock inexplicably decided to wind up more than Nestor Cortes
Try a season
Couple of stupid penalties that were out of the ordinary. The Devils are so fast they will draw a ton of penalties. The isles gotta get a bit more speed in the lineup. Hopefully tomorrow Gauthier and Wahlstrom get in the lineup.

they need to still do something with the first line, I mean Barzy and Horvat is cooking on their own but still needs someone there to fit in and its not Lee and Holmstrom still might need more seasoning or not a fit.
we really just need someone to keep the puck in the zone and win the board battles that isn't slow. just make the smart plays and let the other two work and then get open for them.
3rd line is meh and 4th line helps sometimes then can be a liability.
I am loving Engvall with Nelson he just does the right things most of the time and his speed helps Nelson.
I think I want to see Gauthier or a hungry Wahlstrom in to see what we have.

Sounds like a job for Zach Parise

There's just too many Hughes on the Devils. Every time I look up there's one of them doing something bad to us!

Mayfield is very important. I like the fight in this team. We are going to have to trade a first to unload Lee this off season. Fasching should be playing in Bridgeport.
We will see on Lee, still think he will contribute in lesser role. The issue is winger for top line, it’s not Holmstrom, it’s not Lee and not really any one else on team currently. The lack of cap space right now means I’m willing to bet Wahlstrom is going to get chance soon and should that fail Iskhakov might be next as they exhaust cheap organizational options.
I would welcome Zach back even if he played half of the games and keep his energy up like he did all last season.

Also, Pulock’s defense on Hughes is reminiscent of beer league or pickup when you’re not trying to get hit by a shot since you have work the next morning.

I see Dobson had 8 blocks in this game. Wow.
Did he have a good game? Or more a case of being stuck in his own zone too much?

Lol, couldn't help myself.
I do think this game illustrates the talent disparity between these two clubs, at least offensively. Okay, that's as far as my analysis goes.

Fasching isn't a starting forward. He's a good depth piece, but not a starter.
Switch him out tomorrow.

First game I missed in years. Nice to see the offense from Bo and Brock together. Sounds like Dobson had a good game. I’ll watch it in the morning.
