GDT: #6| New York Islanders @ Los Angeles Kings | October 18th | 10:30 PM | F/W 7-2

Filppula has been an excellent 3rd line center for us. Contributing at both ends.

If only we had a decent 2C...

 

[bigtim1988]

I can't describe how much I hate when the isles unnecessarily get hemmed into their own zone.

GET POSSESSION OF THE DAMN PUCK, AND EITHER SKATE IT OUT, OR GET IT INTO THE DAMN NEUTRAL ZONE!!!

They futz around with the damn thing, and chaos ensues

 

[TommytheCat]

Lehner is talented. The guy can play if his head is in the right place and he’s focused.

it’s the tattoo... i’m thinking for some reason it’s an octopus

 

[MikeyMike01]

If Halak was here he would’ve given up a goal right away

 

[ALEXIVICH CHULKATURI]

Long day tomorrow and I'm going to need my 7. Darn I wish sometimes i lived in Orleans...Well that's why we East Coasters have Tivo.

 

[MattMartin]

So in unrelated news I started Denver's D tonight, 32 points.

 

[BTrotts19]

We gotta finish this period with a multi goal lead...get some possession and don't get hemmed in

 

[Benedict Kovalchuk]

Sound team really dropping the ball on this road trip.

 

[bigtim1988]

nasty move by doughty

 

[Benedict Kovalchuk]

Sometimes I forget Jeff Carter is still in this league. Great player though.

I remember him and Richards year 1 in Philly.

What nobody here is talking about is how Trotz oh so subtly called out Greiss last night by saying we played a sound road game last night.

 

[Satan'sIsland81]

And by saying we didnt get a save when we needed one. Trotz knows Greiss is garbage. Dont want to see him anymore except for back to backs.

 

[BTrotts19]

Ohh this defensive zone turnovers...gonna get burned if this keeps happening

 

[ALEXIVICH CHULKATURI]

I just feel better with Mayfield and Lehner than Pelech and Greiss.

 

[Duanesutter12]

Is it me or has Pelech been largely invisible this game?

 

[Benedict Kovalchuk]

I want to see Lehner be our regular starter but I just can't bring myself to hate on Greiss. Dude played out of his mind to help us beat the Panthers and break the curse, I'll always be grateful for that.

Nah, not just you, same here. Honestly it has characterized his play most of this season.

 

[BTrotts19]

Is it me or has Pelech been largely invisible this game?

Good, when we hear his name it's usually a bad thing

 

[SI90]

Really good period. Lehner solid and square on shots. Seeing the puck.

 

[ALEXIVICH CHULKATURI]

Well my fellow Islander fans I wish you kale nehta.

 

[Lek]

One can bitch and moan about an individual play here, or an individual player there, but they are playing a much better team game than we have seen in a very long time.

 

[Kevin27NYI]

Is it me or has Pelech been largely invisible this game?

That's good, when he's visible he's handling the puck awfully

Totally agree, plus he does great work for military families. I just want him to be a super backup for 20-25 games this year because Lehrer has forced Trotz's hand
