GDT: #3| San Jose Sharks @ New York Islanders | October 8th | 1:00 PM | F/W 4-0

[seafoam]

Bottom six and special teams have been really strong.... just need to sort out the D pairs and get the top six going 5V5

And put Pulock on the top PP and take Clutterbuck off the 2nd PP.

Kuhnhackl

Sounds like a Native American term for a female reproductive organ.

 

[BTrotts19]

Sharks getting up close on our dmen in the O zone. Gotta get the puck lower below the dots..

 

[Uncle Duke]

The difference between the good and the great. Still, a pretty good snipe by Kuhnhackl.

 

[SI90]

Barzal learning bad habits from the last #1 Center. Long shifts.

 

[Equinsu Ocha]

Uh-oh.
There's a Shark making his NHL debut.
Might as well credit the Sharks with a goal from him now.

 

[BTrotts19]

Lehrer had a very nice 1st period as an Isles !!

 

[PWJunior]

Good period for us.

 

[13th Floor]

LOL Did Barzy take Flippys shift?

 

[Mr Misunderstood]

Barzal learning bad habits from the last #1 Center. Long shifts.

I noticed that towards the end of the Preds game that he was trying to dance his way into the zone (once against P.K.) and overall trying to do too much. A lot like the last #1 center. I'm sure Trotz had words with him after that.

 

[NittanyIsle]

This team is a lot more fundamentally and positionally sound so far. PP looks strong, just gotta finish off a couple of these chances.

I'm sure he will have some words. And this time around, those words won't be "yabba dabba doo".

 

[Kevin27NYI]

Special teams are definitely a strength so far

In the predictions leading up the season I was all over this, Lou brought in excellent penalty killers, new staff and the PP kept Gomez and it ran through Barzal and Bailey last year.

If we can be top 10 in both we will make the playoffs I believe.

 

[Macch]

Great kill gave us some momentum there.

We had good looks but couldn't convert on the PP.

Still a little shaky in our own zone.

Defense needs better gap control

Isles hand out first career goals like Oprah.

Unrelated to hockey, I love your avi, name and that movie. "THE GREAT WHITE BAT HAS GREAT WHITE GUANO!"

Yeah it was obvious San Jose was all over them like white on rice. Very predictable at 5v5 and on the powerplay, still a lot of tunnel vision on the breakouts and in the neutral zone.

Everyone except for Barzal is having issues carrying the puck in and it’s because of their predictable breakouts.

 

[SI90]

AJ calling out Pulock for shooting wide lol.

The second line is awkward. Guys are playing responsible but aren’t generating any offense. We need a legit 2nd line center. Nelson actually has held his own but I just don’t se those 3 creating much offense together

I like her so far, very knowledgeable and I like that we have someone between the boards on a consistent basis. Be very happy if we got Parrish on board for that but be even happier if he is eventually sitting in Butch's seat

 

[steveat]

Both teams seem a half step off. Must be the Matinee thing.

We are playing much better than years before..Lets get this win!

I can see Nelson working, but nothing happening.,,

They should get Asham back for the Tray-toor revenge game.

I've had many names on here.

I tend to change them with the new season.

I forgot everything associated with my log-in, so I decided to make a whole new account.

Recently I was
Last season I was Space Herpe
And before that, Crazy Ivan

I was the one who really started using the animated gifs on here, especially:

2 guys battling wtf

 

[NYI365]

Mayfield really needs to be shown the press box, or better yet another organization.
