Post-Game Talk: #6| St. Louis Blues @ New York Islanders | October 14th | 1:00 PM | 3-2 OTW

[BMOK33]

I had soured on him a bit last year but his start in the pros has been really good since he left Boston

Meanwhile I don’t know what happened to Bellows

Meanwhile I don’t know what happened to Bellows

That’s what really worried me about wahlstrom however it’s apparent he’s way more dynamic.

 

[Uncle Duke]

What a comeback. Huge win. Huge third period.

I'm sure I'm not alone here in feeling bad about some of the negative stuff I said earlier in the thread.

I don't feel bad about the negative stuff at all, they deserved every bit of it and more. This was an awesome win but it only really matters if they can build off of it. On it's own, it's just 2 points. And for Barzal to be first star, c'mon. Boychuk1, Greiss2, Barzal3

 

[MJF]

So what happened boys?

 

[MJF]

This GDT should be saved for the season and looked back on so we can all see our split personalities. Some of us 3 for 1.

 

[Lights911]

Was at the game, rough first 50 minutes but after that it was great. Good games from Greiss and Wahlstrom. A stolen win

 

[MJF]

@Satan'sIsland81 GIVE IT TO US STRAIGHT

I’ll do it for him.

“All you assholes who said Boychuk was washed up.....next time you’ll listen to me”

 

[Uncle Duke]

One other overlooked point thus far- we've actually had a really tough schedule to start the season. We haven't played one bad team yet.

Not overlooked. Posted many times today.

 

[Strait2thecup]

Am I the only one who expects over a point a game this season from Barzal still? I. D.o.n.t know advanced stats but they must suggest his production should be significantly higher

 

[Chardo]

Chad gad ya, chad gad ya....

Glad we signed him for two zuzim

 

[Chardo]

First time in Islanders history to win after being shutout through 54 minutes and down more than a goal.

 

[Uncle Duke]

fun facts: Isles 18-6 shots in 3rd, face off % 39.3, Barzal going beast mode is a joy to watch

What's fun about sub 40% on FOs? And, yes, if the league played 3 on 3 all the time, Barzy would be a beast. Last years AS game was all the proof we need. Unfortunately for him, it is not the case.

 

[GrandmaSlices51631]

First game this season I missed AND this outcome. Was at work getting ping notifications, saw highlights and looks like it was a helluva game. How was Wahlstrom?

Good to see Barzal on the board as well.... oh yeah, I keep saying MDC has to do something, nice interception and saucer to Nelson on that goal!

 

[BelovedIsles]

How long is Ebs out for?

he was in beast mode most of the 3rd- likes seeing Wahlstrom with Maty

Looked it up, 3 points in 4 games isn't bad!

 

[road islander]

The entire team was in beast mode in the 3rd, though we shouldn't forget that Maty's first goal of the season was essentially another turnover that he got lucky on. Still, we'll take it and maybe it will be the one that lights the fuse. As for him and Wahly, we're all looking forward to seeing if chemistry develops between them. That is, if Wahly stays up.

 

[CBG]

I don't know if this was discussed in this thread but Boychuk played a hell of a game today especially those final 5 minutes

 

[buud]

A good, come from behind win, a sign of experience, and a never-say-die attitude. Nice.

The kid looked good. Hustled, hit, shot... kept his shifts short. You could see the drive, the passion. he will be contributing soon, IMO.

Greiss is solid, solid. Would have no problems with him, should he re-sign for a reasonable salary.

Beau is keeping it up, good for him. Love him as the high guy on the PP.

But you know, I'm gonna say that STL could've been better. We played a good game, but I think, in the grind, STL is going to be tough, again. That said, when we meet them in the finals this year, I think we stand a good chance

Just liking Trotz more and more. That Lee-Barzy-Khun thing, worked really well, and he rewarded them with more time together. That's a coach.

Ross is a pretty good skater. Played a good, disciplined game, and didn't look out of place. Great game.

Not a bad game by Dal Colle. Maybe his best yet?

Team overall, I'm ok with, right now. Played some tough teams so far, and looked pretty good. Lots to work on, but I feel like we are starting to jel, a bit.

Oh yeah, there was some mad, scrambley crap going on sometimes. Almost looked like they were playing with an Indian Rubber ball. Hot potato, like no one wanted it... weird.

On to the next victims... LFGI!!

 

[road islander]

Much discussed. Much praised. Very early days but his keep in is the POY so far.

 

[buud]

Wahlstrom is a stud. Very impressive game from him. I dont see him going back to the AHL.

He's got pop...

 

[buud]

Seems like a good, hard working kid. The more I see, the more I like.

 

[The Underboss]

Going to catch the highlights. I only caught bits and pieces at work.

 

[The Winter Soldier]

Caught the highlights. Tie it up late, and win it in OT. The heart attack kids are back.
