Pre-Game Talk: Islanders @ Sens Jan. 22

[Micklebot]

Of course, they miss Prince get sticked.

Well, they missed Tavares grab Karlsson's stick and tuck it into his armpit, so par for the course, but it was a helmet not a stick apparently that took out prince

 

[EK65IsAGod]

A biiiiiit wide there Stone.

 

[Real Smart Sens Fan]

Cowen playing a whole lot so far

Three or four blocked shots as well. Hopefully this is a "value boosting" game

 

[Benjamin]

I just can't get into the game. Yawn.

Saw that on the replay. Cameron probably cuts Prince's minutes by 10 mins because he's fragile.

 

[PeterSidorkiewicz]

If I wasn't lazy I'd love to keep track of how many times we dump it in on a non change and how many times we actually gain possession of the puck.

 

[Micklebot]

Cowen with his first major gaff of the game

 

[Baby Ryan]

Decent period aside from the march to the penalty box.

Hammond looked good, giving them a chance.

 

[ChocolateLeclaire]

8 minutes without a shot to end the period...

 

[HavlatMach9]

we don't know what to do on offense

stone not using his teammates

 

[IceBjoern]

Karlsson with almost 11min in the first... crazy...

 

[Micklebot]

Decent period aside from the march to the penalty box.

Hammond looked good, giving them a chance.

Good start (aside from the bs Penalty leading to a goal) but they looked a bit out of sync after all the penalties.

Cowen with his first major gaff of the game

Yeah, that was ugly. Overall, I'd say he had a very good period though. 3 blocked shots, two hits, 7:59 in ice time. One of his biggest issues, even when he's on his game, is knowing when to pinch. He does it at both red lines and it often ends up in a scoring chance the other way.

those minutes were hard

 

[Burrowsaurus]

McCormick is one of the best hustlers I've ever seen and he's decent in the offensive zone. But in the defensive zone he is lost. He's so worried about hustling and racing everywhere that he loses his man

 

[Real Smart Sens Fan]

stone not using his teammates

Stone has really disappointed me this year tbh. He's been okay, but I don't see him as a surefire top liner anymore. He could still get there, but he's not there right now.

Karlsson with almost 11min in the first... crazy...

It's just ******** to play him that much though.. He still gets the points, but he can't join the rush the same as before and it's not for lack of speed.. he can't play that way and do what the coach ordered.

[re tar ded] is a cuss word?

 

[Baby Ryan]

Good start (aside from the bs Penalty leading to a goal) but they looked a bit out of sync after all the penalties.

Yea a bit disoriented but seemed to collect themselves towards the end.

More or less anyways

He just can't do two good things In a row. He had hat good offensive game and you can bet a bad play is coming up. And then. I don't even know how to describe that play on Tavares.

 

[Joeyjoejoe]

Boro here's a way to help the team, get the **** out of the team.

Just a scrub AHL dman who won't won't be on any other respectable roster in the league.

Yeah, I was happy with him through the period. He didn't seem to let the mistake get to him it, just went on, so not to worried.

My issue is that it brings us down to 5 d men.

Leading the team in SH toi... with 2:53 already (which considering of the 3 penalties, one was over in like 16 secs is pretty crazy)

 

[Nac Mac Feegle]

wow...poor Torts. I hope that's not the side where he had hip surgery a few years back.

 

[Micklebot]

Omg... Off topic but Hartburg back behind the bench as a head coach as Tortarela sits out with broken ribs....
