GDT: #1| New York Islanders @ Carolina Hurricanes | October 4th | 7:00 PM | F/OTW 2-1

[Brunomics]

The name of the game for this team this season is shot suppression. 25 shots against per game and you win most nights. This team has enough fire power for the offensive side and with a solid strategy from Trotz game in and game out it's a highly doable strategy.

The names aren't sexy but they know how to play hockey. And they aren't trying to play roles they shouldn't.

Will be on a flight pretty much the entire game. Hope I land to a win!

 

[Mr Misunderstood]

No more Dougie blowouts. That starts now.

Barry beatdowns incoming.

 

[PK Cronin]

I'm excited for another miserable season of Islanders hockey!

 

[NewYorkIsles]

Biggest game of the year so far

Nothing to do with the game but did the default font on this site change or am I just seeing things?

This is pretty much where I'm at... Am I thrilled to have third and fourth lines consisting of Fritz/Kuhn-Filp-Komarov and Marts-Zeeker-Clutterbuck? No. Do I think these lines are serviceable? Absolutely.

It has not changed.

I’m excited. I bought the NHL package this year after taking last season off because I have Golden Knights tickets. I missed my Islanders and listening to Butch articulate the English language. I felt like I was cheating on my wife with a new hot girl. So this season I’ve decided to enjoy them both.

 

[MJF]

Come on Brock. You are the difference between a team with 77 points and a team with 85 points.

LGI

 

[The Winter Soldier]

Canes are a team to watch for this year. This is a good test for the Isles to see where they stand this season. Also Looking fwd to seeing what the identity of the team will be this year.

 

[SLAPSHOT723]

I'm ready. LGI.

 

[Lek]

well... i never expect much when we are in Carolina...we do not seemingly do well here...non the less...will be there hoping for the best!

 

[IslesNorway]

Must win

 

[islesfan3913]

It has not changed.

I guess I’ll lay off the drinking during this season after all

 

[Bones45]

All I know is that we are tied for second place in the ENTIRE league as of now, so we ain't doing bad at all!

Wrong, we're tied for last place!

 

[BMOK33]

The Hurricanes are in for a rude awakening tonight. A team that has owned us the last 2-3 years they’re probably going to wonder where this defense came from.

 

[Stercrazy]

Jeez this team hasn't won a game all year but I feel tonight they are going to turn the corner.

Tie 4-4 but the D gives up less then 30 shots.

LGI!!!

 

[mm11]

Just make it tough on the other team to score and Barzal gets 3 points, pulock 2 goals, AB 2 points and Greiss with a shutout

thank you

OMG, you're soooo glass half empty!

I already do.

No Bailey on the ice for the AM skate. (insert jokes about how you haven't ever noticed him etc.)
