Post-Game Talk: Isles over Devs 5-4 (OT)

[Jersey Fresh]

A point earned.

 

[Volodya Krutov]

1st shift of either the 2nd/3rd, Kovalchuk turned the puck over and the Islanders got a great scoring chance.

Kovalchuk has to be the dynamic player he can be. Tavares is for the Isles (3 points) Kovalchuk needs to be for NJ

I would love to know how many points both have scored against the other team since Kovalchuk is a Devils player.

Me thinks it's a landslide.

 

[Bleedred]

I expect a much better effort against these ****in fish sticks on Sunday.

 

[Uli Hiemer]

oh and i cannot stand john tavares. i think this kid is punk ass *****.

i remember last season he viciously slashed parise in the hands. i knew once dumb and dumber were going on and on about how he hasn't put up points against devils, he'd cash in.

 

[JustinZ]

Get another forward please and thanks

This the biggest reason I hate Parise. If he told us he wasn't coming back we could have made a play for a top 6 forward with the money we were saving. I would have loved to get Parenteau.

 

[Mgd31]

I'm honestly just baffled on how that OT goal even happens. I expect at least a point on Sat

When your defence lets in 4 goals, we need Weber, not Tavares

Missed the game but pretty must got the jist.. How did Larson play? (didnt read through the gdt at all)

 

[battlingBard56]

I'm sorry but in my opinion Kovalchuk had an awful game. He looked slow and asleep out there.

Bring in Adam Burish for HitsLikeAGirl Barch before Sunday, fixed.

tavares isnt a punk, thats not the kind of player he is. and in hindsight im glad he slashed that ****tard parise.

 

[NBC Hockey]

I'm not nervous at this team's abilities, I'm nervous that these next two games are afternoon ones.

Back to back losses will hurt. We come out with one win and I'm satisfied.

 

[Cheddabombs]

The biggest problem with the power play has been entering the zone, but overall I don't really think it has looked all that bad, especially considering it does have a significantly different look than in years past. The team is middle of the pack early on so far this season in terms of PP %. There is a tendency on our boards for posters to greatly exaggerate how bad the PP is.

EDIT: Devs PP % was middle of the pack for the season last year as well. Reading on here, you would think they were dead last.

That's why I didn't single out the PP specifically, but rather both PK and PP. Today wasn't so bad in terms of entering the zone but overall this season it hasn't been good, to say the least. The penalty kill was awful tonight, no way around that. I'd like to think that's because Fayne was out of the line-up but that isn't the single cause. Either way, special teams in general needs improvement, that's all.

 

[CerebralGenesis]

Deboer is crackin the whip after this game. I didn't think it was that bad honestly.

pap is a smear. hes a streaky **** and is ugly. i once saw him at a whole foods and didnt say hi. hes not going to repeat his success either.

 

[aboriginal]

as for the pp, its their insistence on kovy being a dman and not a faceoff dot slapshot machine.

 

[apice3*]

people hating on barch are really reaching. He was good tonight. Was contributing to a very good cycle at one point. Bottom 6 was great tonight. Top 6 not so much.

yeah i don't get this. he was barely on the ice. better than janssen, or having no muscle tedenby on the 4th line.

 

[aboriginal]

no probs with barch so far. hes 4th line fodder and can actually play hockey unlike cam. and i love cammer. hell barely see ice time so whatever.

 

[Bleedred]

Barch has so far looked night and day compared to Janssen. It isn't even fair to compare him to Boulton either. That would be an insult in itself.

soon as i saw that in the pre-game i knew he'd have a big night

 

[aboriginal]

i wish we couldve gotten parros and called it a day for a few years. instead of this circle jerk yearly cycle of random goonies. ...wait

 

[holikwillfindyou]

Missed the game but pretty must got the jist.. How did Larson play? (didnt read through the gdt at all)

he played well. incredibly patient with the puck in the defensive zone. one or two turnovers from bad board bounces. tipped a ****ing islanders goal in though. im confident he'll learn from it. marty will most likely have a talk with him.

still bummed about the loss nothing good beer and hookah won't fix.

 

[Czech Trio]

Boulton was a ***** tonight nearly taking Elias' head off.

In regards to the enforcers the past years its been a round and round wheell who can impress Lamoriello? Barch? Boulton? Leblond? Janssen? Asham? Peters?

 

[Bleedred]

I didn't think a Devils win against the ****in POS Islanders was too much to ask for my birthday. Guess I was wrong.
