Just win baby!

 

[LightningStrikes]

Go !!!

 

[T REX]

Huge game. Can we rebound? Can Cooper figure out Trotz's scheme?

Need a big game from our guys. Let's go Bolts!

 

[CupsOverCash]

Can we not allow three goals right away in the first five minutes. Thank you!

You mind winning in OT? Thank You, Islanders fan.

Hi everyone!
Another difficult and hard game tonight!
I hope to start the game in the right way!
Let's go Bolts!

Looks like Strålman is the scratch tonight. I don't even mind too much because his two biggest injuries (broken leg and this season's month out) both happened vs NYI. Not a lucky team for him.

That probably means Cernak will be out vs NYR since there's no way they'd scratch Girardi or Strålman from that game.

Sorry, I know that's Brie's job.

By all rights it should be Girardi that's scratched tonight. G had an awful game vs the Pens and Strålman actually had a very solid one that was more like what we're used to seeing from him before he was injured.

As someone pointed out in the Discussion thread, everyone else in the rotation only has to deal with two different partners and that's only once every three/four games. Stråls has to play musical partners with never the same one two games in a row.

Great way to test defensive pair chemistry...

Has G bought all the chewing gum in the Tampa area or what does he have on Coop?

We Gon' Lose.

@The Macho Man you better have boxed up and buried that 77 jersey.

Should I bring out my Hedman jersey?

I still think the fires of Mount Doom is the only way to go.

He should give that jersey a death sentence.

Run him into the ground and then sit for the playoffs???

Wishful thinking, I’m sure

Don't suck please

We don't need to run an optimal line-up just yet. We're still a long way from April. This is our optimal forward group. I have no issue with sitting Stralman. Let both him and Cally play vs. their old team.

Yeah. There's still time. Even Lalonde and Cooper said that, with 15 games in February, they'd probably keep the rotations going just for the depth.

Let's go !!

Please don't suck (looking at you, Girardi!)

 

[Maelmoor]

Girardi with a solid game and a goal tonight!

..also please let us have a better start of the game this time, those damn first periods!
