Shocking...first career start for Marek Mazanec = first career win.
Bet the house on Nashville. Every team uses their backups or prospect goalies vs us to make them look like Hasek.

Who are we starting? Please please please let it be Poulin..
It is poulin, staple tweeted it earlier...thought he looked decent last game, got hung out to dry a few times
I don't like our chances tonight. Tavares is dou for a multi point game.
5-4 Preds
I just don't get how Islanders can dress Donovan and Ness over Martinek.
Martinek might be a limited NHL D-man but he is still better than Donovan(I cant hit the puck on my slap-shot) and Ness(I am small soft and weak)

He literally just had a multi-point game. Two assists against Montreal. Both primary and both on the PP.
I do agree though that he's due for a beast-mode night. I think Johnny is tired of the losing, and I'm hoping he comes out flying.
Obviously he hasn't had time to prove himself but he has impressed me with the little chances he's gotten. Nabby just looks awful this yearwhile i agree that he didnt look "bad" and that nabby sucks, it is very hypocritical of people on this board that to say the d hung poulin out to dry....if it was nabby in net, i bet we would see comments such as, "nabby cant bail out the defense when he needs to" or "he cant make the big save"....i understand we all want nabbys role lessened, but gosh, lets stop acting like poulin has proven he is anything more than a less than average goaltender
We have yet to see a sustained beast mode Johnny all year, he has to be due for a break out game. It's definitely crazy that he's a top-10 scorer in the NHL yet has been playing at a B+ level all year. Wearing the C and having to adjust to new linemates, he's had to adjust things. When he hits his stride and is firing on all cylinders, he could carry this team for a while. Let's hope it starts this game.
I guess that's what separates the good players from the great players. Great players will find ways to put up high-end numbers even when they aren't playing high-end hockey(at least not by their standards). Makes you wonder how the hell Giroux has started this year off so cold. You'd assume he would still at least be hovering around PPG... maybe a little less. 8 points in 16 games seems almost impossible for a guy like that.
The Flyers only scored 26 goals in 16 games, obviously its not just him who is having a bad start to the year.
The Islanders have scored 51 goals in 18 games.
