Necessary move with Pulock on IR. Shows how pitiful the organizations’ depth at RD is after the NHL roster.

 

[PK Cronin]

I assume that means Pulock will be out longer than IR requires.

 

[SI90]

2 things.

1-Finally Veterans that can play the bottom. No more Bolduc

2- Pelech maybe done for the year


Really like Bartuzzo a lot. Solid veteran

Good move. Only negative is that Bortuzzo is often injured. Hopefully he can stay healthy. Hasn’t been playing for the blues

Omg I thought this had to do with Pelech. I didn’t even realize Pulock was gonna be out. Yikes.

 

[Nassau Revisited]

If this gets rid of Aho and Bolduc from playing I am happy

Dobson is going to have to do some serious heavy lifting coming up here.

 

[PWJunior]

Dobson is gonna have to do even more heavy lifting with Pulock out too. The kid has been forced into the #1 spot and is actually flourishing, seems to be more effective with bis minutes.

Ugh. When did this happen??

Did he get hurt at the end of last game? I shut it off after 7-3.

He blocked a shot at some point of his foot/ankle and could barely get off the ice. Don't recall when specifically it happened though. I think he went out and then finished the game after though.

BUT WHAT ABOUT AHOOOO????

BUT WHAT ABOUT AHOOOO????

It's a Christmas miracle! This might put me in a better mood.

Here's a video of the shot block:

If we give the boot to Aho, then will @steveat leave HF Isles? He's gotta side with his son, ya know.

Good option, much better then our Bridgeport depth, solid leader, won a cup, playoff-style rugged D who will eat a lot of puck, take care of the front of the net and punch face when needed, I believe he's worn an A for the Blues.

Not a great skater, zero offense

Oh i missed that.

He’s ready for it. Hes been. People give him shit defensively but honestly he’s been mostly good.

BUT WHAT ABOUT AHOOOO????

Hopefully future considerations

 

[The Wahligator]

Blues fans saying he’s a serviceable #6 and good on the PK. Only out of the lineup due to a logjam on their D

 

[Lame Lambert]

Bombshell

 

[nyisles]

Noted sniper Robert Bortuzzo

 

[Strummergas]

Man, another draft pick out the window...

Wahligator is correct. He’s not the pinnacle of health by any means, but this year his lack of play time is from us carrying 8D and wanting to give time to Tyler Tucker and Scott Perunovich.

I said it in the main board thread, he’s a 6/7 good locker room guy who’s an above average pk guy, not afraid to mix it up if he has to. If he’s expected to do any more than that you guys will be disappointed.

 

[JBHockey]

Honestly the Islanders cannot catch a break.

How are they gonna make up for not being able to draft the next Andong Song with the 7th round pick?
