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

[IslandersGER]

4th Metro fighting for 3rd and against 8th Atlantic should be a sure win at this time of season

 

[Green]

The worst part is maybe with momentum they could beat or get a point out of the Ranger game tommorow, now I think not

 

[IslandersGER]

Lee was horrific today.

Lee is horricfic all year

 

[Zeeker]

At least we get an update from that guy in the Dobson point thread tomorrow

I would say Dobson and Pelech were our worst players today. This guy Pelech is so overrated and living on a reputation from 3/4 years ago.

 

[Chockey22]

I mean Pelech is Pelech on that play. No idea what Pulock is doing. They just aren’t good enough. They make too many mistakes vs the talent they have.

So many time this game where I'm wondering what Pulock can possibly be thinking. At least three D-zone faceoff wins where he had plenty of time, but rifled the puck up the board before our winger was even there. It's a completely unnecessary turnover where we have possession and guys expecting to break out cleanly. And on the OT goal, only god knows what he's doing.

 

[Groin Of Bates]

They’ll win tomorrow and lose the next 3

 

[Poulin 0n My St1ck]

Would be kinda funny at this point if they lost 6 in a row.

Would be kinda funny at this point if they lost 6 in a row.

Would not surprise me in the least. The fact that they are in playoff contention with the worst PK IN THE LEAGUE blows my mind.

 

[DerekKingSnipes]

I’d put Fasching back in tomorrow for Holmstrom, minor change but Holmstrom has been really poor and soft last two games. He is struggling. I’m actually not as concerned about the next five games versus today’s game, they had three games against really bad teams in last two weeks and got five points. Teams like us and the teams around us always seem to stumble against these bad teams.

 

[The Real JT]

At least we get an update from that guy in the Dobson point thread 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.

Yeah he isn’t special, maybe ok third liner but if someone wants him in trade that nets us a top six forward or whatever I wouldn’t hesitate.

The WC2 team is going to get smoked in the first round. Eastern Conference is brutal this season.

as a cheap, league minimum third liner, he's fine. Defensively responsible, does decent work on the forecheck and rarely makes glaring errors. I'd prefer to hold on to him, because we don't have a lot of that on our team. All of our other third liners, which is the majority of our forwards, are neither cheap nor low error players.

 

[Tres Peleches]

How did this team have a passable, if not good, PK in past seasons

 

[Osakahaus]

well folks

this season is over if they lose catastrophically to the rangers

 

[Surfrat]

They are going to get SMOKED tomorrow

I hope they get pissed with this performance and destroy the rags.

 

[Throttle]

Worked out well for TB and Boston.

 

[MJF]

Pelech fell smh can’t make this shit up.

Yup. Roy had exactly who I wanted out there to kill the end of that penalty...Pageau, Pelech, and Pulock, and it still turned to shit.

 

[Quickdraw2828]

The WC2 team is going to get smoked in the first round. Eastern Conference is brutal this season.

As a long time Islanders fan, (right after the four peat), I consider just making the playoffs at all a wildly successful season.

 

[Nassau Revisited]

horrible 2nd and 3rd periods. Another no show game by this group

 

[MJF]

Lee was horrific today.

So was Palmieri, despite his goal.

I’d put Fasching back in tomorrow for Holmstrom, minor change but Holmstrom has been really poor and soft last two games. He is struggling.

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

 

[IslesNorway]

So many passengers on this team. So little effort at such a crucial time is just baffling.

 

[Dutch Frost]

Al Arbour wont be able to win this team!

 

[Nassau Revisited]

Would love to see Engvall shot to the moon before next game. Bring in anyone to replace him. He is the softest player I have ever seen
