GDT: GDT #27 New York Islanders vs Toronto Maple Leafs | December 11th | 7:00 PM | F/4-3 OTW

Nice to see Barzal play like he’s expected to and paid to do.

as the 4th highest paid player on the ice he did seem to dictate alot of the play.

 

[The Winter Soldier]

Give Isles credit. This was a skilled goal to win it. What a pass by Barzal and finsh by Horvat.

 

[slurpee addict]

Gotta say. Isles looked faster tonight than I’ve seen in a while. Gauthier and Engblom add some depth speed. Horvat is elite and Dobson… well he’s fulfilling all the promise we’d hoped for. Barzal is figuring it out.
Oh and FU pyjama boy.
Great win!!!

 

[leeroggy]

Remember how so many kept saying we couldn't win without Pelech?

Four straight over top teams without him AND Pulock

The pessimists are stunned

He’s just looking for attention. It’s rather sad.

 

[mm11]

man they should have beaten the Sharks. Come out Wed sharp and get the 2 points LGI

I think we over rate our own way too much.

Yeah, he can go f*** himself.

 

[Metnut]

Happy to see Tavares get his 1,000th point on Long Island in a Leafs loss. It’s appropriate. His best years were here. Leafs got the sunset years. f*** them.

Team played a good game tonight (aside from the 6 on 5 at the end) vs a tough opponent. Glad they got the second point. They are on a roll now and let’s keep stacking points. Every win the bank is huge in a tight eastern conference.

Dobson is starting to look like a star. I’ve been hard on Lou but both Romanov and Horvat were worth the firsts. Good players in their primes.

 

[MarsTBOW]

Pelech is not the same since the Achilles and Pulock.... well at times is an enigma

 

[Rehabguy]

Gotta say. Fitting that the former captain #91 gets his 1000 with his former teammates congratulating him on the bench. Kind of sad that what should have been a completely joyous night for him was tainted by a smattering of boos- also fitting. But in the end the story line is the same. JT gets to indulge in himself, but it's an Islander win all around in the end.

Yeah kind of reminiscing him in the Islander uniform showing his best game. So both happy for him and sad for him at the same time. What a waste. Looked like he was going to cry when they lost at the end. It is what it is.

thought he and Bo were really quiet in the 2nd and 3rd but the Islanders are a completely different team when they have the lead. I know you psychopaths who watch closely have ranted all season about it - but I just don't understand how the same tenacious forecheck, backcheck, forcing the play, forcing mistakes - that's why they're so good. Why not just continue to play that way? If you have to bribe the scorekeeper to show them down 2, just do it. Lou has that power.
It's insane.

It's not like they can't do it, there's clearly a blind-spot in the coach's brain-eye-signal-processor (just made that up) - and if not for Sorokin (or Varlamov) - good GOD, I said enough!

Judas made an Adult Decision and Left. No Joy for me in anything he achieves.... He is a Disjointed Robot....

barzy and Horvat were MOTORING.

Massive talent there.

What a dumbass. Stop giving that troll the clicks he craves.

 

[beach]

Anyone still think the Horvat trade/contract are bad? He’s elite. Actually even better than I originally thought.

I agree. He does a lot of things that don't show up on the score sheet.

 

[Rehabguy]

The OT goal by the "kid" the and the one who would replace Tavares is also fitting. No way Captain Slow could have kept up with Barzal on the OT beauty! Horvat can skate and snipe. Barzal skating with Horvat is the best outcome this team could have asked for. Tavares leaving turned out to be a blessing.

We signed Brian Engblom???

Lou and his vets.

 

[sabremike]

He couldn't have given his left nut to the Isles as it's currently in his wife's purse next to his right one.

Not anymore. Wasn't too impressed at the end of last year but this year- wow! I didn't realize he was this good. So gotta hand it to Lou.

Horvat
Romanov
Holmstrom
Engvall
Fasching
Gauthier
Reilly
etc

Yep, Lou's lost his fastball . . .

The old geezer still got balls.

Dobson has ascended to another level, he is playing at an elite level. Another 3 assist game (2nd this year) and playing solid defense. He's brimming with confidence with testicles that have descended and they scrape the floor. There looks to be more there too which is scary.

 

[Rehabguy]

Exactly there were at least 3 ice capades/ merry go round appearances this game. So awesome!

I think his ceiling is even higher!

 

[warrior60]

One thing about Pelech and Pulock going down is Dobson absolutely stepping the f*** up and anchoring this defense.

And picking up a puck moving defense man off waivers, hopefully neither one come back anytime soon or have them rotate for Bolduc.

Remember how so many kept saying we couldn't win without Pelech?

The pessimists are stunned

They finally picked up a defense man that can skate the puck out of their own end without icing it.
