Post-Game Talk: Islanders vs Devils. Last reg season game at The Barn again. W 5-1

[SI90]

Palmieri lol

 

[Tres Peleches]

Palmieri’s best game as an Islander by far. Not that that, in and of itself, is saying anything.

Hopefully something to build off of going into the playoffs

 

[SI90]

Great way to send the barn out!

 

[The Winter Soldier]

Well nice fitting way to end regular season play at the Colosseum. Congrats, great history here. Onto the Playoffs, with one more to go. More memories to come.

Even though I have never been to Coliseum, listening to the last regulation game was emotional.

 

[PWJunior]

Good win.

Oingo Boingo for Sorokin.



Old Faithful for the boys.

 

[MJF]

Solid win. The boys needed this one.

3 Stars:

1. Nelly
2. Palms
3. Barzy

Barzal to Tony in the handshake line

“ tell your daughter I’m going to call her back. Congratulations on a great career”

 

[The Winter Soldier]

Trotz is all class, sticking around to congratulate the retiring linesman.

 

[Zeeker]

Now we need to beat Boston in regulation, and the Caps to beat Boston any way the day after, and we move up to three.

Id rather face Pens?

Id rather face Pens?

Yeah... tough to say. Kinda want the Caps with how banged up they are

Good win.

I am a simple man, I see

Be sure to join us at Belmont

Be sure to join us at Belmont

Hopefully the Canada-US line reopens soon.

Sorry about the gdt, work is killing me. On day 10 of 13 straight. Glad we got the win for the "official" last regular season game at the NVMC. It really sucks not many could be there. So now we can scrub that last "official" regular season home loss to the Jackets.

I tell you what frightens me to death. If we lose to Washington it will be 2xs they closed the NVMC, and I just can't handle that.

I was thinking about going to Coli tonight but being in a place for the last time, and knowing its the last time, is depressing. Glad I didn't know at the time I saw my last Allmans, Floyd, Petty shows -just walked out happy.

 

[BelovedIsles]

Hoping they can feed off of this. I think they are better going into the playoffs with some momentum.

to not have Wahlstrom on this list makes it invalid.

 

[PK Cronin]

Solid game throughout. A few lapses here and there but much better pace from the team tonight. Zajac on the fourth line is more than acceptable. He turned that line from a hitting line into a shut down line. We're pretty deep if injuries strike our bottom 6 and we're totally f***ed if our top 6 gets banged up at all.

Sorokin has finished the regular season (I assume), finishing 13-6, .918 SV%, 2.16 GAA and 3 shutouts.
Greiss was 16-9, .913 SV%, 2.74 GAA and zero shutouts last season.

Our goaltending tandem this year was better than last, with one more game to play. Currently allows about half a goal less per game than last year. Kind of crazy that's an area we improved in, it's better than the year Lehner and Greiss won the Jennings.

Hopefully the Canada-US line reopens soon.

I heard they're going to re-draw the country line to make it easier.

Yep, goaltending has been much improved since last postseason. That gives me faith in the postseason; goaltending can win a series, though I'm not convinced these two are *that good. They'll give you a good chance to win though.

Are you on his payroll?

Good win

The NHL site shows Nelly, Leo, and Barzy, but Palms and Wally fit just as well. Any three of those five.

On both the goals by Eberle and Barzal, Komarov made the play in his own end, and then went to the bench. Beau picked up two free +, just for stepping on the ice. Shows how meaningless +/- can be at times.

 

[BelovedIsles]

Leo did make defensive plays to spur the offense. LW is his spot, here's hoping he gives it his all, e.g. to create turnovers and actually shoot when he's in the slot.
