3 stanley cups in a row?
1st shift of either the 2nd/3rd, Kovalchuk turned the puck over and the Islanders got a great scoring chance.In those blaming Kovy he has been solid. Hasnt been the dynamic Kovy we expect but he hasnt been terrible
People need to quit slagging Kovy. Who have he and Trav had on their line? Matteau is not an NHL player yet. Tedenby? GTFO! Josefson? Not a first liner. These players have no business on the first line.
Henrique back will bring some much needed stability that we haven't seen yet this season.

Then maybe you should limit your insults to the modern eraSo what? Thats like me saying someone like Vinny Lecavalier deserves his contracts cause once upon a time he had 100 points.
Gimme a break.
kovy and zajac are enough to score a goal dude. the other person on that line is inconsequential. the bottom line is zajac is stepping up and making big plays, scoring goals, and kovy is having brainarts.

There should be a mandatory special teams practice tomorrow. So far that's been our downfall, and it needs major improvement.
You're acting like kovalchuk is some average joe who needs all-stars on his line to thrive. He didn't exactly have firepower in atlanta either. He hasn't been dynamic like we need him to, that's a fact. I think the problem is that he's relying more on his teammates than he usually does. Result of playing with tarasenko for awhile perhaps?
What is the average age of posters on this board? Looking at post game comments after a loss, the reactions are incredibly juvenile.
I thought we deserved to win as a team but a few individual mistakes cost us. I think Marty had a bit of a sloppy game too (weak challenge on that second Tavares goal and the last clearing attempt on the OT winner was bad).
That being said, I am super excited to have Larsson in the lineup and of course Henrique came up clutch yet again. If Lou manages to find a couple of forwards to fill out that third line, I see no reason why we are not serious contenders again this year. Hopefully the team doesn't make a liar out of me on this one.
The other teams have had easier times neutralizing them. They need a competent winger. Let's see what he does or what he lacks with Henrique back.
Remember Kovy had 2 goals in his first 11 games last year before going on the shelf for 5 games, and scoring his first game back.
