GDT: #2| New York Islanders @ Tampa Bay Lightning | September 9th | 8:00 PM | F/L 2-1

[Finnislander]

Not to get too side tracked or personal, but I was able to spend the entire time with my wife and stayed in the hospital with her, is that not common over there? Between COVID, cultural norms, and you having another child to worry about I'm just a little curious.

There might be family rooms in our hospital, we didnt really look into it. Might be that the covid situation has closed those rooms for now anyway. Had to wear a mask the whole time in the hospital. I think its not too popular for dads to stay in the hospital here, usually finnish dads go home to drink with friends on the day the child is born.. I had to rearrange that party for later since its mid week and I have to look after our son.

Im also fine sleeping in my own bed. The hospital is just 10 mins drive away so Ill go there in the morning.

Should buy a Bailey jersey if we make it to the Finals?

WHO IS THIS??? WHAT DID YOU DO WITH BONES???

 

[SI90]

This needs to be our best game. We need to come out and play like game 7 vs the flyers. Let’s see what the boys are made of.

 

[KnishOfTheCrease]

Isles 9
West Florida 1

So if you're alone tonight, is it Kalsarikännit time?

Hey! I just discovered that there's an emoji for it.

Will the real Bones please stand up

Should buy a Bailey jersey if we make it to the Finals?

If the Islanders win the cup, you should either change your name to Bailey, name a child Bailey, or convince one of your kids to name one of your grandchildren Bailey

 

[19 in a row]

not sure what the overall feeling is but I am not hitting the panic button. Maybe we tweak the lineup (we may have to if Clutter is hurt) but I dont think wholesale changes are in order yet after one bad game... I go with Greiss, but will not criticize Barry's decision either way, I just feel Greiss seems to have a much calmer demeanor so more likely to bounce back, but what do I know?

 

[Sparksrus3]

We got this tonight . LGI
Now it’s post work , pre game nap time or I will never never never make the super late start time of 8pm.

Don't know where to post this so I'll post it here. Just listened to Staple's podcast with Ray Ferraro. Two things:

1) In the first ten minutes, Staple asked all the right questions regarding what the first game meant and then about the future of the Isles. RF gave some great answers, at least I thought so. I urge you to listen if you haven't already.

2) Holy shit Ferraro can talk. I mean I know he's a bit loquacious as it I don't think he took a breath in the last 20 min.

OT, but every time I hear Ferraro I need to relisten to the hot mic clip when he's making fun of Phaneuf and Paul Martin. God damn hilarious.

Stop lying, you already have 3 of them...

but then I had taco bell -- and you know.. TP shortage......

Yadda yadda yadda... I need a new Bailey jersey!

 

[JKP]

Let’s get this done tonight and have a good bounce back. Feeing positive!!

 

[YearlyLottery]

Isles need to split the next two games.

 

[Poulin 0n My St1ck]

Barely keeping my sanity together because of work. A win would go a long way in chilling the f*** out. LGI!

 

[YoureMyBoyLou]

Let’s make this interesting! I’m not ready for football yet.

 

[13th Floor]

Isles need to split the next two games.

Well, yea. Losing both would be um.. not ideal.

One at a time, boys.

 

[SI90]

Bunch of jerks

 

[SI90]

Varly most likely starting. I hated his body language in game 1. Let’s hope he gets back to the form that helped get us here.

 

[Beacon Isles]

Varly led the team out tonight... lets go boys, gotta win this one.
