Butch: "speaking of home openers Howie.....in my short but illustrious career as Islanders Coach, I won my home opener, it was AUGUST 10 th."

Howie: August 10th? you must have been the only one in the building

LOL, Butchie is already in mid-season form!

This second line has pretty massive upside.

 

[simbo042]

Leddy and Hickey are listed at the same height, and there's just no way that's true.

Yeah...that doesn't sound or look right!

 

[simbo042]

Nelson-Tavares-Okposo
Kulemin/Lee-Grabovski-Strome
Bailey/Lee-Nielsen-Kulemin/Conacher
Martin-Cizikas-Clutterbuck

That is what I want to see

I think Nelson is going to stick at centre for a bit...he just looks good there.

 

[19 in a row]

Strome starting to look good..

Is it too early for me to think that I don't want to see Boychuk or the first line much for the rest of the game as long as we have a 3 goal lead? Quick turnaround for tomorrow and I think Boychuk has played a ton of minutes.

 

[StumpNYI]

I actually think Conacher and Tavares are working well together

 

[xECK29x]

Howie and Butch are the best

 

[SI90]

a Bailey goal would be the ultimate cherry on top

 

[simbo042]

Howie and Butch are the best

Really missing them tonight, got the Carolina feed.

 

[Duanesutter12]

He's hustling but he just brings nothing to that line. We need skill with JT and Okposo.

Conacher has been taking abuse all night, still think he is doing a good job though

 

[seafoam]

Reinhart doing a solid job on EStaal

 

[simbo042]

Reinhart strong in front there!

 

[Not4u]

Strome starting to buzz a little more.

I actually think that whole line has looked good tonight...Brock just has been a beast

 

[KnishOfTheCrease]

Coach Doug Weight really working that chewing gum. He should get a 5 minute misconduct for that abuse.

 

[SI90]

Nelly wants the trick!!! kid loves to score!!!

 

[Islander Prophet]

I kinda already knew this but I really love the way Kulemin plays

He's a pro athlete playing the first game of the season.

Most rink rats grow up playing two games a day!

 

[blinkman360]

Brock 4 points... beast.

 

[simbo042]

Hammer!

 

[IslesRock4]

Hamonic! It didn't get blocked!

 

[seafoam]

Hamonic from Nelson!

 

[19 in a row]

really like Kulemin along the boards..

AND HAMMER!!! 5-1 (brock with another assist.)

 

[dtrain24]

5-1! Wow! 4 points for Big Brock!

 

[bigtim1988]

[FortNeverLose]
