GDT: GDT #66 New York Islanders vs Ottawa Senators | March 16th | 12:30 PM | F/4-3 OTL

I think one of the most frustrating things watching this team is how we rarely break out cleanly and gain the zone with possession. The number of times the Sens' D passed, cross ice, to an open forward who gained our zone with possession was so frustrating, and in a stark contrast to this team, who hardly ever manage this. Our D pass up the boards to a covered forward, who either chips it in (or fails to do so, as Engvall did on the 2nd Sens goal) or ends up in a board battle in the neutral zone.

So was Palmieri, despite his goal.


The Senators are not that bad. Neither are the Sabres.

Was more talking the ducks and sharks last week, Sabres are hot right now. Wings lost to coyotes the other night at home, flyers were tooth and nail to beat sharks last week. I’d rather play good teams this time of year, these got nothing to lose teams are hard games I think.

During the winning streak this was very good part of their game, it’s disconnected hockey the last two game especially where forwards and D are just too far apart from each other.

 

[periferal]

can we score a goal?

Yes.


(Beating non-playoff teams is another matter)

Pelech has been so bad since trotz left.

The overall team isn’t much far behind.

I’m more amused and at times annoyed at the love thrown at Holmstrom.

He was exceptionally poor against Buffalo.

What was Country Club Casey thinking on the Game Winner in O.T? His man was Tkachuk

 

[BelovedIsles]

Everytime this team pulls me back in, they do this shit. Like the cycle of abuse.

Edit: And they play the Rags tomorrow.

I’m more amused and at times annoyed at the love thrown at Holmstrom.

He’s not shown himself to be anything more than a bottom 6 player. Sure he’s improved this year but I’ll say it’s far from a breakout performance. He has 22 points and a 22.4 shooting percentage.

The Isles have a handful of prized assets I would term untouchable in the offseason. He’s not on that list.

The only value he has is that he’s going to be cheap. With overpaid, waste-of-spaces like Lee on the roster, we need cheap players to compensate.

I’m in favor of letting Roy get Rid of l the dead weight and build the Roster with the guys he wants and who can play for him

We need to replace those C.C Players with Players That HATE LOSING!!!!!
Do that, and you will see a change.

…He says being *only* 19 points behind his opponent, and biggest rival, who they’re playing tomorrow.

This seems like a recipe for disaster.
