there it is

 

[blinkman360]

God I love this team.

BTW, thou Bailey hath arrived.

 

[MatthewBarnabysTears]

now that it's a tie game again maybe we'll put nabokov in so we have a chance.

i'm kidding obviously. but does anyone have word about how anders nilsson is looking?

 

[Words Of Wisdom]

I must admit, maybe I gave up early, but I thought we were done for after they went up 2-0. Wow, great come back. Done so quickly.

 

[Pnut]

2 goals in 30-40 seconds holy ****!
Jeez who are these guys?
Winning games that they didnt put foward there best effort and now scoring two quick goals at the end of a period they were dominated in?

 

[Barzaltrick]

Holy mackinaw! Something is brewing on the Island.

channel 739 on Comcast center Ice.

Thaaaaaaaank you!!!!! There she is!

 

[PK Cronin]

That Bailey guy is still awful, get him off the team.

 

[PK Cronin]

Thaaaaaaaank you!!!!! There she is!

Just in time for intermission!

 

[Kevin27NYI]

Excellent end of the period

 

[boredmale]

I don't think Poulin was at fault for either goal but he really need to work on his rebound control and glove hand. Sometimes the best thing a goalie can do is stop the play and Poulin glove hand will kill us on a few occassions when it bounces out of it.

 

[PWJunior]

It's a good sign the boys rebounded like that, they've got some confidence now. Both Chicago goals were a result of gassed players stuck in their zone. Bails and KO, our biggest whipping boys growing up and performing when we needed them most.

 

[SI90]

we have no reason being tied...


Khabby looks bad

Cant blame Poulin on those goals


The chemistry between Grabs-Nielsen and Bailey is incredible...

that's what happens when you build a core...These guys vould probably play together blind folded

He also seems to over commit a tad bit

 

[Wanderson]

LOL, I think Poulin has been taking diving lessons from Garth, it did not appear he was hit all that hard but he had the reaction as if he had been shot.

Let him dive.

I won't be mad until it is as bad as this one. Happened today in the game between Austria and Sweden.

Certainly no fault on the first, he overplayed the initial shot a bit on the 2nd, he has no experience yet with these new nets, that does not result in a goal last season because the shot likely goes off the back of the net after hitting the end boards, one major product of these new nets is alot more of those crazy missed slapper goals are going to get banked in.

The chemistry between X-Nielsen-X is amazing.

 

[BillD]

Strait and AMac look out of their league.
Hickey is smaller than them but I give him credit for never giving up. That kid battles, gets knocked down, and gets up quickly and gets back into it.
Strait

 

[FortNeverLose]

We are playing dead even with the defending champs

 

[BTrotts19]

wow didnt see that coming---gotta love the dawn of the new day for this franchise

 

[SI90]

If we want to win this game we have t get more shots on goal and play better defensively

 

[blinkman360]

Gotta hand it to Hickey, he looks great.

Strait looked awful on that Hossa play. Passes it right to him without being pressured, then takes a ridiculous angle to him allowing Hossa to skate right by. Maybe the worst sequence of plays he's had since he got here.

 

[Strome18]

Maybe some of you on this board should grow some .....












PATIENCE and SUPPORT NOT CRITICIZE YOUR ISLANDERS!

this had me pissed, it also lead to the goal eventually because the puck never left our zone after that

Yes, but that second goal started with a sequence where he couldn't even glove a soft shot from the blueline.

He also seems to over commit a tad bit

Warts or not, this is not a good blueline to have in front of him. You can't change the entire defensive corps overnight but you can change 1 goaltender.
