Post-Game Talk: #57| New York Islanders @ Vegas Golden Knights | February 15th | 10:30 PM | F/L 1-0

[PWJunior]

Battle of the Titans right off the bat.

 

[YearlyLottery]

Johnston recovered nicely there.

 

[PK Cronin]

Johnston loses his footing and goes down early, gives Reaves an advantage. Johnston recovers and holds his own against Reaves. I'd say Reaves got the better of him, but it would be pretty close if they were on even footing.

 

[GrandmaSlices51631]

Johnston recovered nicely there.

Came here to say just that.

Atta boy Johnny. Good emotion.

 

[periferal]

So happy we dressed Johnston tonight.

 

[SI90]

Good save by Varly. Nice job by Stone to even get a shot off.

 

[The Winter Soldier]

That was one of the best Heavyweight bouts I have seen in literally years.

 

[YearlyLottery]

You think we won the Washington game because Johnston played???!!!! If you actually believe Johnston is an NHL player and the difference between this team winning and losing, you lose all credibility.

Every time the team loses it upsets me more because you are going to post over that they lost the game to be honest. You have nothing positive to say ever and you wonder why no poster has any interest in entering a conversation with you.

While PK might lose credibility, at least he has some to lose. You have none to lose.

 

[SI90]

Barzal flying but 2 turnovers on that shift.

 

[DVon Du Nord]

Am I the only one that hates these premeditated fights? Particularly against a Western Conference team with virtually no history.

 

[SI]

Toffoli just score his second with 50 secs left in the stadium game

 

[YearlyLottery]

If the Islanders are going to win this game, they are going to have to limit the transition game from Vegas.

 

[SI]

Love the two tone kits and helmets in the stadium series game

You def aren't, but as the fights have decreased in the league, I have somehow grown to appreciate them more.

 

[SI90]

Am I the only one that hates these premeditated fights? Particularly against a Western Conference team with virtually no history.

I like fighting but within the flow of the game or if a team gets down a few goals and a guy wants to Spark his team. On the opening face off without any history between the guys or teams I can do without that.

 

[PK Cronin]

I usually hate them, but in this case I'll give it a pass. They're two of the biggest heavyweights in the NHL that don't see each other often. I think Reaves was giving Johnston a chance to establish himself as the king of the jungle. It was more of a respect thing and I'm okay with that.

 

[PK Cronin]

Before anyone mentions it, I put in the request to have the thread turned live so hopefully they'll get to it sooner than later. Unfortunately our mods don't have the ability to turn that on.

 

[The Winter Soldier]

Trotz is looking like no nonsense, all business tonight.

 

[SI90]

Trotz is looking like no nonsense, all business tonight.

After last game the whole team better be all business.

 

[PWJunior]

Sick chance for Barzal.

 

[PK Cronin]

Great chance by Barzal, wish he would've shot but that was still a quality opportunity.

 

[mm11]

get some points tonight....Barzy has his legs going

 

[SI90]

Bailey wtf was that!?!?! Geez. Can’t do that.

 

[PK Cronin]

Bailey wtf was that!?!?! Geez. Can’t do that.

I think it hit a skate and bounced into the slot.
