Andy Greene was an absolute steal. So solid.
Agreed. Biggest issue outside of what you said, not finishing on some chances that couldn't have been any easier. Beau needs to start putting the puck in the net or hes needs to see less ice and Wahlstrom needs to see more.Aside from some stupid penalties, thought everyone has a solid game.
Just watch this on repeat for a skinny of the game...
More like "when I reached for the crotch, I felt a dick".
This was more like our "playoff style" surgical victory.Great win. Wahlstrom's shot is how Pulock's shot should be. Nice game from everyone, but I think Komarov played really well today. Lee and Eberle were a little quiet, but hard to complain on a back to back.
Islanders were constructed, or evolved as a win now team with mainly veteran players. Breaking into the lineup is no gimme, but we needed to find some bodies to hopefully fill spots that were missing.Great game and it is fantastic watching Wahlstrom and Sorokin continue to grow as players. Seeing young players step up is the cherry on top.
Ha ha. It's the curse, the evil eye, the bad jujuI’ll take responsibility for being optimistic and confident, but what is a maloik?

This is where Dobson and Wally have made themselves serviceable now, but developing to a higher level in the future. Add Sorokin to that, and hopefully Bellows earns a spot later on.
We absolutely dodged a bullet. I only wish we could have traded him prior to the deadline. Either way we are better off without him and that soon to be anchor of a contract.
Imagine the Isles w/o Boychuk and Greene?Andy Greene was an absolute steal. So solid.
Which is how this team can transition from veterans to young ins that are getting developed properly and learning to win early on in their NHL careers.Islanders were constructed, or evolved as a win now team with mainly veteran players.

Just watching it now, and I'm stuck with the Pens' feed. Their announcer didn't think it was a penalty, just 'a little push'. Either that 'little push' was hard enough to break his stick, or he was playing with one that was already broken.Only because he broke his stick does he get a penalty. He does that bullshit every game.
Yeah - needs beer.That coors light commercial with the chick taking off her bra could be so much better
Pulock's shot is still a threat, but not the threat we thought it would be. He's like more talented Johnny Boychuk than a Shea Weber. Needless to say, he's been a joy to watch, and having him paired with Pelech has done wonders for his defensive game.Speaking of Pulock, this is a pretty interesting year for our top dmen. Pulock will never have that shot because he just has a hard shot. If there was ever a Fulton Reid, it's Pulock. The shot is hard and nothing else. Wally has a snipe. A goal scoring rocket. Not just a hard a shot -- a shot that explodes off his stick and is moving faster than it seems it should and is accurate. And we see it both in his one-timer and his wrister. He could end up being lethal of us. Way too early to go nuts but really encouraging to see a winger show signs of blossoming.
Back to Pulock, I'm surprised what he's turned into. We though we had an offensive player but I think he's been better than Pelech on defense this year. He's very economic in his play and plays really solid in his skates. Pelech has figured the game out and because he's a much better skater, and because he reads the play so well, is jumping into the offensive play more and doing more with open space. Pretty interesting evolution of our top pairing.
Fully agree and it's a lesson to be learned for the future. Trade your UFAs and don't sign anyone to hefty deals.We absolutely dodged a bullet. I only wish we could have traded him prior to the deadline. Either way we are better off without him and that soon to be anchor of a contract.
