Bridgeport Islanders Discussion 2021-22: Playoffs Start May 2

[MJF]

Defensive miscue by BSt d early in the 3rd and it’s 3-2 HAR.

Can the Tigers ever start a 3rd period without shitting on themselves?

 

[BarzyClub]

So far this season that’s a no. It’s like clockwork .. lol

Every season has a different bugaboo. This year it’s 3rd period brain cramps.

Hopefully it just youthful nerves . Lot of rookies out there .

How does Skarek look today? I just put the game on when Bolduc scored.

 

[BarzyClub]

He’s been solid as he’s been so far this year. Goals have either been due to giveaways where he’s had little chance. Gonna be a long year for him.

What a setup by Bolduc for Kuhnackl 4-3 BSt!

 

[PWJunior]

Bolduc nice play leading to another goal. Liking what I'm seeing from him this period.

 

[MJF]

Tom Kuhnhackl gets the go-ahead goal 4-3. Cross ice pass from Bolduc in traffic from the left high slot. Similar to the Dobson feed to Anders Lee last night. A beauty.

What I’ve seen from Skarek so far is each game he’s given up a goal he’d like back. Made some real good saves and let in some bad ones.

 

[BarzyClub]

Bolduc now with 2-3-5 in 4 games and leading BSTin scoring. Very impressive

 

[MJF]

Timashov ENG. 5-3 Tigers 23 seconds left.

First win of the year coming up.

 

[IslesNorway]

Win 5-3!!

 

[PWJunior]

Timashov ices it with an EN goal 5-3, Bolduc with another assist.

 

[BarzyClub]

Well deserved win! They survived the 3rd period collapse. Baby steps...

 

[JRD76]

So 3 pt game for Bolduc. Not too shabby

 

[CupHolders]

Would love to see the Isles get another goalie for Bridgeport or Taxi squad to allow Schneider to go down.

I remember he did give up a shot from the blue line against Har ( or PRO) . He’s hasn’t been the reason for their 1-3 start though IMO.

He’s a young goalie in front of a young team and he probably hasn’t seen the type of chances that he’s seeing now in the A. So it’s a mental game too , staying focused and consistent even with numerous defensive breakdowns and playing better teams in Hartford and Providence.

Today’s win will help with both Skarek’s and the team’s confidence and consistency.

Interesting note: today's win was Skarek's first win in 424 days.

They would have to expose to waivers first- don’t think they will do that with fear that he will picked up

 

[nickel7168]

can anyone tell me the lines & def. pairs from last night?

 

[BarzyClub]

can anyone tell me the lines & def. pairs from last night?

Greer Fritz Holmstrom
Timashov koivula coskey
Jobst McLeanCarpenter
kuhnackl kubiak Bardreau

Bolduc Hutton
Helgeson VDS
Wotherspoon Wilde

I’d imagine at some point they bite bullet and waive Schneider to get him some time with Bridgeport. I’m not sure he gets claimed at this point.

 

[BTrotts19]

Im curious how has Otto looked early on? Is he showing any signs of becoming a regular in the NHL or an A lifer?

7-25-4 in his last 38 pro games.
