GDT: #8| Carolina Hurricanes @ NY Islanders| October 19 | 7PM |Passenger Edition!| F/L 4-3

UGH, SD video...we meet again

It bugs me to no end how in order for Cablevision to maintain the fact that they are the only cable provider in NY to offer all NY Sports teams games in HD, they don't let Fios have MSG+2 in HD. This is beyond ridiculous.

 

[Jester9881]

Does Carolina even have a fighter? We are probably already tougher than them with just Martin, Clutter, McD and Hammer

I think it has more to do with clearing the front of the net.... I would have sat Hickey, but what do I know?

 

[Isles Junkie]

oh and LOL @ no Donnovan

Send him down already. Totally pointless to have him up here if he's only going to play once or twice a week.

 

[Original Rob]

It's kind of like Flinstone has 3 levers in the locker room and he can only pull 2 at a time. The Carkner/Donovan lever, the Bouchard/Nelson lever, and the Nabokov/Poulin lever. Anything different or more complicated and the Coliseum crumbles into Barney rubble.

Yabadaba doo!

 

[seafoam]

Sitting Donovan makes minimal to zero sense for me.

 

[JetsMetsIsles]

I hate non HD games. Do we really need Rangers Devils on all 3 MSG channels.

 

[The Underboss]

Damn it, Hurricanes feed on Center Ice.

Guess they wanted some size and toughness. Carkner actually played very well the last time he played. As good as I've ever seen him.

 

[Space Herpe]

Damn it, Hurricanes feed on Center Ice.

Yep...same here.

 

[Menwithouthat tricks]

thanks for the info! Our only "fighter" when Carkner and Boulton sit is Martin. Clutter, Hammer and McD are essentially just sandpaper. It just struck me as odd that we would dress Carkner tonight because our coach usually only dresses him if our D is healthy when he thinks we need a goon.

I think Carkner is needed as a big body on defense needed to clear guys like Eric Stahl away from the crease.

That seems to be the reason as per Twitter reports, can't argue that.

 

[Hipietro]

My god those jerseys are such ****

Do WE need it? no WE don't need it. Cablevision needs it though. the fact that they have 3 HD channels for FIOS and they put the same broadcast on 2 of them proves the point I made earlier. It's all so Cablevision can continue to say they they're the only cable provider to offer all NYC sports teams in HD

Good thing I can watch the Isles on HD, ****ing devils.

If Carkner is on the ice against Staal, the only thing he will be clearing is the puck from out of the net.

Kyle Okposo

Faster than a Ferrari

Nice Butchie

 

[MichaelK]

Washington Nationals? I guess Howie is stealing some of Butch's booze

 

[The Underboss]

So close Clutter.

 

[JetsMetsIsles]

We look good to start.

 

[SCBdude]

It's really not easy to cheer for a team wearing a jersey that ugly.

Let's Go Isles

 

[steveat]

wonder if cammaratta will turn out to be another Gerbe...would be nice

 

[PWJunior]

I like the start so far.

 

[The Underboss]

[steveat]
