[DeadPuck]

John GianOWNED.

He took that like a champ though.

He looked a little pale there at the end

John GianOWNED.

He took that like a champ though.

I lol'd way too hard at this.

 

[nevesis]

whats up with richards

He's absolutely brutal this season.

 

[smoneil]

so that JT Miller kid isnt ready

long ways to go but he just has the make up of a solid two way player...........we may have our wish with a new 3rd line C. Boyle could get out of the dog house and C a good 4th line

Small sample size, but I'll admit that I never expected him to look this good in the NHL.

I will add this--McDonagh is having a hell of a game on both ends of the ice. Not only is that a penalty that was long overdue (Aucoin was poking Henrik with his stick FFS), but that was just one BEAUTY of a pass to spring Miller on the breakaway.

Also very pleased with Torts for leaving Miller on the ice for the very next shift after his big mistake. Torts gave him a chance to redeem himself, and Miller took it and did just that. Great save from Hank, great coaching from Torts, great D from McDonagh and great finish by Miller.

 

[Machinehead]

Not even, he's not even 100% yet and you can see. Remember to the playoffs last year, and compare to now. You can tell the difference. Can't wait till he's 100% though.

Well no not 100%, but I mean there's flashes. It's not that guy at the start of the season that was a total corpse.

 

[JimmyG89]

Well, Miller, Kreider and Pyatt have been very impressive. For now, my 3 stars. Yes, Pyatt brings that energy we so desperately need.

Pyatt is my unsung hero of this team. He has fit onto EVERY line he has been on and plays tough. Not the fastest, strongest, or most skilled player on the team, but he puts 100% into his game and competes. It might not look like it at times, but it is subtle. Better player than Feds at ES. Hurts he does not PK, but he is an upgrade IMO.

 

[BrianLeetch2]

I came to the conclusion that it really doesn't matter how guys look in Connecticut, Call them up and see how they play

 

[slipknottin]

He's absolutely brutal this season.

Hes fortunate to have played on a line with gaborik and nash. With lesser guys he would have like 3 points.

 

[Machinehead]

Inb4 Richards has a point tonight.

Oh wait that's me who says that

 

[Gospel of Prospal]

I was watching the Islanders broadcast. Anyone have a clip or a GIF of what happened with Giannone?

 

[BBKers]

whats up with richards

He needs a new hot Eastern European (or from anywhere actually) chic! I concur

 

[Ghost of jas]

The isles goal was a bit weak by Hank IMO, but a great effort by Tavares. He is truly a superstar out there. Best player on the ice 2gether with McD IMO, but of course JT is the ***** 2nite!

Goytta say that Stralman is good, fumbæled a æliitle but covers up too. Gilroy as well. Whiskey almost done!

He was screened by Stralman. Taveras just made a great play...he made a quick move to use Stralman, and then let rip a wicked shot...scorer's goal.

 

[Riverdale]

He's absolutely brutal this season.

He turned 90 years old during the lockout

 

[Amazing Kreiderman]

Pyatt is my unsung hero of this team. He has fit onto EVERY line he has been on and plays tough. Not the fastest, strongest, or most skilled player on the team, but he puts 100% into his game and competes. It might not look like it at times, but it is subtle. Better player than Feds at ES. Hurts he does not PK, but he is an upgrade IMO.

So I am not the only one enjoying the effort Pyatt puts into his game. It's not flashy, but maybe even more important than the skills of Nash, the speed of Hagelin or the snipe of Gabby. Pyatt is the missing link for each line. He's like Callahan, but a bit more physical strength.

 

[Gospel of Prospal]

He needs a new hot Eastern European (or from anywhere actually) chic! I concur

It's the Olivia Munn slump

 

[Clown Fiesta]

Did he get dumped?

He turned 90 years old during the lockout

Lawl.

 

[SRTtoZ]

Except Newbury.

 

[Giacomin]

Big penalty kill coming up!

 

[charlie460]

John Giannone, everybody.

 

[Siamese Dream]

And people said JT Miller wasn't NHL ready

 

[marciiauzii]

oh my good people.
Miller is playing his second game in the NHL and you already saying he's a superstar or something. WOW. Lets talk about him after some games kick in.

 

[Amazing Kreiderman]

I hope Mashinter gets a shot against the Bolts in stead of Asham. Arron Asham just doesn't bring what he was expected to do. Rupp 2.0?

 

[slipknottin]

It's the Olivia Munn slump

Id probably be playing like crap if I got dumped by Olivia Munn too...

 

[Machinehead]

oh my good people.

Nobody here is calling John Tavares Miller a superstar

 

[Punxrocknyc19*]

Except Newbury.

i dont understand how he is so good in the AHL but everytime he gets called up, he looks horrible... maybe the Rangers should cut their losses..
