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

[PK Cronin]

This is because Lehner was worse than Greiss in camp.

I expect they'll be competing for the starter job for the first month or so.

True. I hope one wins the job with his good play, not because the other one sucks more.

 

[FourRings]

A new era begins today. Let’s go Islanders!

A new era begins today. Let’s go Islanders!

And the old error ends....

 

[Islanders4Cups]

Like Greiss in goal. I do not blame him solely for the off year. I blame Weights cluelessness. Greiss carried us in the past and looking forward to a good season from him

 

[StumpNYI]

I hope our old best 4th line in hockey plays good 3rd line minutes to become the new best 3rd line in hockey while our new 4th line plays good 4th line minutes and becomes the new best 4th line in hockey so we have the best 4th line and the best 3rd line in hockey. In all of hockey.

7 pages already and the game hasn’t even started yet.

Impressive.

Impressive.

Trotz has us ready to go.

 

[SI90]

Captain Lee leading the charge today!

 

[PhysicalGraffiti]

Greiss is starting? Ugh.

 

[xIsle]

This is because Lehner was worse than Greiss in camp.

Exactly this. He re are the stats by the way during training camp :

Thomas Greiss : 4 gm .911 sv% 2.64 ga avg.
Robin Lehner : 5 gm .892 sv% 3.24 ga avg.

I think Trotz just decided to go with the one who had a better camp.

Where's de Haan?

 

[13th Floor]

I got 5 bucks on a goal from our 4th line, because why the f*** not. Bonus that it's our only goal.

 

[Tres Peleches]

Where's de Haan?

If you think we have defensive issues, at least we don’t have to roll out our 2nd unit as our 3rd unit too

 

[Equinsu Ocha]

The time is now again!

I'm a transplant - Bethpage to Clayton, NC (about 15 miles south-east of Raleigh.)

Leaving for the game in about 20 minutes.

LGI!

 

[Bones45]

Zero hour is upon us.

All jokes about the typo aside, that defense is SO much better than ours. Jesus.

 

[BelovedIsles]

This is because Lehner was worse than Greiss in camp.

That’s what I gathered from Trotz’ statements. From what I saw, Lehner looked a touch more unsteady, sounds like he has more adjustments to make than Greiss.

 

[Volek25]

Pumped for the season to start here, let’s go boys!!!

Congrats to Lee, I think he’ll be a good man for the job.

Lastly, did Fritz really make the team and playing tonight???? Ughhhhh

LGI!!

 

[wingnutks]

This is probably my first time posting in months. I feel like I am going to watch tonight because that is what I am supposed to do, lol. I dont think I have ever been less excited for a season to start ever. Our roster is disgusting, our "answer" in goal isnt playing because he had a worse camp than our terrible back up goalie did, and somehow we are entering this season with Fritz on the team.

Pesce is a beast for them, double-shifting like a boss.

New fan?

Did you forget when Guerin - Comrie - Satan was our first line?

Comrie lead the team with 49 points that season...

Thomas Greiss : 4 gm .911 sv% 2.64 ga avg.

Lehner was good for about the first 40 mi ites he played. After that it was all downhill.
