Streit Outta Montreal.

Rangers lose again, get point in OT though. PP got them a point, jealous.

 

[First Blood]

Watching that turnover the Rangers made that resulted in the goal brought a smile to my face. Was a close game between them both

 

[Lame Lambert]

The only team worse than us is the Rangers. Thursday should be interesting.

It is an important game for us, we need to win it.

With that being said, I’m not hopeful. We need it as much as they do. So far, this team has been lackluster.

That was a horrific turnover. Looked like typical Islanders.

But seriously, how do you try to force a pass THROUGH a player when it’s 3-on-3 ot!? McDonagh is behind the net with two Penguins on either side just in front of the net. Just send it up the boards, he would have had the remaining Penguin outnumbered 2-1.

Hey that’s cool by me... hopefully the Rangers don’t fix that issue by their next game. But it’s looking like the Isles are going to be facing a desperate team.

"Dom Luszczyszyn - Editor"

I guess with a last name like Luszczyszyn, Dom was destined to be an editor.

I guess with a last name like Luszczyszyn, Dom was destined to be an editor.

His last name looks like the result of someone typing a name and then their cat running across their keyboard.

"My name is Don Lus..."

*Cat's foot types out random letters"

"....yn"

NYR back to shooting 27%. All is right in the world.

Watching the Detroit/Vancouver game, and though I get that he didn't want to play for Capuano anymore, boy, Nielsen has to be regretting his decision to go to the Red Wings.

I did not think Nielsen soured on playing for Cappy.I think it was Snow who caused Nielsen to sour on the organization during the extension talks, about 10 days before July 1st.

When he signed, he specifically said he wanted to play for new coaches.

" I wanted to try something new, see some new people, new coaches, and you want to get better, even when you're older. "

I recall that quote. I thought it was Nelson being classy, refusing to sling mud at the isles organization.
About 10 days before the July 1st deadline, the press reported good progress was being made in Neilsen' s extension talks.
Sorry, but I do not buy that in a matter of 3-4 days Neilsen suddenly realized he would still be playing for Cappy and suddenly wanted a change.

 

[Lame Lambert]

The Rangers are losing again 4-1. They need to be better; I want them to just barely miss the playoffs after trading away their first at the TDL for some rental.

I just looked at the standings and am amazed we actually are in a playoff spot(Wild Card 2)

It helps that so far this division is the weaker one. I somewhat expected that this year and I don't necessarily buy into the Flyers and Devils just yet either who are in 2 of the top 3 spots.

I'm assuming the top three in the division are CBJ, Pitt, Caps.
After that we fight for one (or two) of the WC slots with Canes, Devs, F'ers, Rags.
Canes are a comer but not ready yet.
Devs will have to do without Schneider for a while and they will come back to earth.
F'ers (read that anyway you want to) are a mirage and will battle but wilt in Feb-March.
Rags are a mess. Their defense is brutal and their only chance is an ageing, overworked Henrik.
Isles have a 50-50 chance if the goaltending holds up, we find a PP, and Tavares plays like Tavares.

 

[24diving]

I’ll just leave this here, no need for comment.

 

[2ndGenIslander]

Kind of happy at this point that the NHL snubbed the isles at Citi field for the winter classic. Now the NHL is going to have to showcase what looks to be two of the worst NHL teams in prime time

 

[majormet]

Strange night in the NHL, had a 5 figure prize earning on DK wiped out by Jamie Benn losing credit for his goal, still did good.

Blake Comeau had a 3 point night... how is that possible.

The Caps I had forgotten to mention but they look really bad their last few games. I thought they weren't getting enough attention pre season as far as a possible big dropoff this year given half their roster turned over

Yes has to be something if Aaron Ness is in their group of 6 dmen

 

[doublechili]

Maybe he played against defensemen who were not familiar with his move?
