Post-Game Talk: #29| New York Islanders @ New Jersey Devils | March 14th | 5:00 PM | F/SOW 3-2

[SI90]

Pageau is out? Wtf?? Huge blow. Changes the entire team.

 

[Foppberg]

FFS

 

[Tahoeblue]

Call Calgary about Bennett! I don't know- that's my first thought. I don't get to watch every game living in the West and was pumped up to watch on ESPN+. WTF Pags

LGI!

 

[Matt UK]

A little bit worried here, too many changes to the line-up if goalie change + Lee + Pageau. This team are a creature of habit, don't want to unbalance things too much. We've seen how quickly this Isles team can change.

 

[BMOK33]

Pageau looked really bad yesterday. He's probably playing through something but if that was the case why would they not at least call up Ladd

 

[Mr Misunderstood]

Pageau being out is markedly worse than Lee being out. Sucks!

 

[MJF]

Assuming this is maintenance day for Pager. He took the last shift of the game yesterday and I don't remember him getting hurt. Maybe he got dinged up.

 

[BMOK33]

This is gonna be 2-0 someone. Its one of those games

 

[Thrasymachus]

Whatever move we make with the $7M being moved off the cap to LTIR, that $7M has to be cleared off when Lee returns to the active roster.

This move to LTIR makes me believe we won't see Lee until next season.

yeah sad to say I think you are right

Uh oh. Lets hope that Pageau isn't playing too too banged up right now. He is an excellent player for us - welp, next man up mentality it is I suppose. Would like to see Koivula eventually... Brent Thompson's ability to develop forwards doesn't exactly inspire confidence, and bridgeport is a tire fire

Forget Bridgeport. There isn't a forward down there who is ready for the NHL today.

 

[BMOK33]

Its hard for me to believe if they knew he might not be able to go today they don't call someone up from Bridgeport vs putting in Czarnik. Whatever it is it likely snuck up on them

 

[NYI365]

Seems bizarre to me.

[The Wahligator]

Wtf is going on

 

[Tahoeblue]

Time for Tito and Bailey to step it up. Certainly everyone is going to need to.

 

[BMOK33]

Its not COVID either because the NHL update at 4pm had no change.

 

[Quickdraw2828]

From Stape

"Appears that Pageau isn't just a scratch today, he's not on the 23-man #Isles

roster. Awaiting word from the team as to why."








Now I'm upset.

 

[Mr Misunderstood]

Seems bizarre to me.

 

[Uncle Duke]

need a better effort from Sorokin. he seemed lazy and over confident in the last game.

He didn't look like either of those things to me. He looks like a goalie who is 8 games into his NHL career and still figuring out the league. It doesn't always have to be about effort.

 

[chico19341]

Let's Go, Boys!

 

[Lame Lambert]

Wtf is going on with JGP

 

[Steve55]

Tuned into the Devils radio network online just before their pre-game show ended.

 

[SI90]

Pageau better be ok or we’re f***ed.

 

[19 in a row]

If Sorokin is in net then this is not the time to give one of our regular defensemen a blow.

seems you are correct. Czarnik and Leo in for JGP and MDC. Hoping just maintenance for JGP.
