GDT: 11/28/15 - 7:00PM EDT - New York Islanders VS Tampa Bay

[Brie]

Well, the MSG feed still puts a lot of focus on Cally, the camera is following him a lot, even on the bench, guess some things are just hard to change.

 

[FinnLightning26]

Good job, Coburn. Atleast someone did something.

 

[Leonardo87]

2nd unit actually looked pretty good.

 

[These Are The Days]

5 shots to 3 for a whole period so far. That's just flabbergasting

 

[Brie]

Hedman is even worse than Stralman as a PP option. He just sits there with it and stalls, weighs his options for 3 and a half seconds and either doesn't make a good shot or makes a predictable pass. Why do you think he doesn't play the first unit anymore?

Yeah, you're right, I'm not a huge fan of any of our defensmen on the PP, maybe we should try what Skellefteå AIK (SHL team) does, or at least did a season or two ago, run with 5 forwards on the PP, though I prefere going 4F/1D but if it doesn't work or if we need to give something a new a try for a PP or two...

 

[Stormbreaker]

Killer! 1-0

 

[FinnLightning26]

Good shift by that first line. Would like to see more of that but I'm not holding my breath.

 

[Brie]

Goal!! Killer!!

Now we'll seethat line for the rest of the season and Drouin won't stand a chance to get up there.

 

[Houdas]

Killing it early, nice!

 

[These Are The Days]

Weak sauce call

 

[Brie]

See, sometimes you just have to get the puck towards the net and not give up until it's either in the net or their goalie has control of it, something to keep doing maybe?

And now a PK.

 

[FinnLightning26]

YES! This is what I want to see! Great job Callahan!

 

[Brie]

Hey, first fight of the season...did not think it would be Cally but someone was bound to do it.

 

[These Are The Days]

*swoon*

 

[Callum]

Knife Fork and Spoon line converts!

 

[Houdas]

That will pump some blood into their veins, really nice job, Cally!

 

[Brie]

That will pump some blood into their veins, really nice job, Cally!

I hope so, if it didn't I'm not sure what will.

 

[Brie]

Nice hit by Garrison.

 

[These Are The Days]

So this is what it's like to have a lead after the 1st??? D0000D!

 

[Houdas]

Did we actually se a good first period? I just hope the tempo won't fall down.

 

[Leonardo87]

Hey, first fight of the season...did not think it would be Cally but someone was bound to do it.

Came at a good time, took one of their top scorers off the ice for the PP.

 

[FinnLightning26]

Callahan showing why he's a leader. Finally someone showing some emotion with him and Coburn. Hopefully they can bring that energy to the second period.

 

[Stammertime91]

They've played with heart and played deliberate. No 2nd guessing and no hesitation. They're playing smarter and good right now. Nice job by Callahan , nice job by Coburn too.

91 needs to really examine his play. Why does he keep pulling up? For an "elite" player he has the worst puck control, 1v1 play book and passing out of any of the top tiered centers. It's laughable and embarassing at times. Sigh. His presence in front of the net was good at least. Right guys? Lol

 

[These Are The Days]

I feel bad for Islanders fans. Jack has the team stuck in "grinder mode"

 

[Houdas]

Sacrificing a goat tonight in a form of Pilsner beer. Hope this pleases the hockey gods and gives Tampa back it's scoring ability and winning streaks
