GDT: #18| New York Rangers @ New York Islanders | November 15th | 7:00 PM | F/W 7-5

[Uncle Duke]

BT will like the W. Will hate EVERYTHING else.

 

[BelovedIsles]

That should be it.

Terrible coverage on so many plays. Despite the systemic improvements, I expect this to happen all season. Too many flawed players. Then there were sequences that I thought they kept NYR to the perimeter.

But a win’s a win.

Hope Beau starts contributing now.

frans filppula had a real solid game tonight, love his play

 

[NYI365]

Games vs the NYR are always outliers in terms of how they normally play vs other teams. See the final score as evidence, its an abnormal score line for the team this year that normally plays low scoring affairs. Take the 2 points vs a hot cross town rival and shore up the defensive woes and lets go.

Good on you boys dropping a 7-spot on the Rags and setting the time to 5-past Lundqvist. Beauvillier finally showed up, eh?

 

[xECK29x]

Extend Finnish Franz

 

[Spybot]

Looks like Barzal got benched for a good portion of the third period

You're right, didn't play at all in the last 7 minutes of the game.

 

[seafoam]

I’d like to see Dal Colle in next game for Johnston or if Martin is back Kuhnhackl.

 

[Mr Misunderstood]

Breakout Beau...fingers crossed

 

[seafoam]

Extend Finnish Franz

Not yet.

1-10-2

 

[Mr Misunderstood]

Biggest question, how will the LIRR handle this?

 

[eoin92]

That was a pretty terrible game. Lucky to come away with the points.

 

[NYI365]

Looks like Barzal got benched for a good portion of the third period

Think that happened after he needlessly took the high sticking penalty that set the Rags in motion

 

[seafoam]

Breakout Beau...fingers crossed

Anyone who has been put with those two has broke out. Ladd, Kuhn, Beau.

 

[Quickdraw2828]

The moment the jackasses started chanting "you cant beat us"...

We own this f***ing town!!

 

[Uncle Duke]

Too jacked up. Think I'll stay up and watch TOR v SJ.

 

[Mr Misunderstood]

Fins up

Wow what a polarizing game

Glad to see Beau play well he is on a line with the 2 smartest players the Isles have had in some time

Best player on the ice and possibly the best forward this year.... Brock Nelson, very Kesler like in this game, continues to show that he could a very good two way forward

Trotz called the timeout at the right time

Kuhnackl is a disrupter I think he should be 4th line C since Gionta was awful IMO

The bad parts of the game..

Hickey/Mayfield - they get pinned in all game... they are on the ice for all the power play goals against that is why Hickey has a great plus/minus

Clutter he was lost without Cizikas, got an empty nut goal but bad game.

Barzal had a bad night for sure.

Leddy also had a very good game...

This team is putting it together, they win when they play bad which is what contending teams do

 

[Bones45]

Biggest question, how will the LIRR handle this?

Several thousand fans pouring into a transit hub?


As poorly as usual

 

[xECK29x]

 

[Uncle Duke]

As good a 5 GA game as a goalie can have Bet he's pissed though.

 

[Lame Lambert]

Biggest question, how will the LIRR handle this?

 

[PK Cronin]

Looks like Barzal got benched for a good portion of the third period

He had a really bad turnover and then wasn't seen again as the game got tighter. Trotz rode the veterans to victory.
