It would not surprise me indeed!

make the simple play !

Expect something like Beauvillier in for Ho-Sang, Kulemin in for Pulock.

man i like seeing pulock wind up and opposing forwards scramble... as another poster said sheltered minutes and get ryan in there

Im going to today's game so really hoping Ho-Sang is not scratched as i want to see this kid play.

I thought the Sharks outplayed the isles in 2 of the 3 periods, of the last NYI/Sharks game. I am hoping for a 60 min effort from the isles tonight.

Let's go isles.

I agree. Pulock should be getting out there on PP1 and get 3rd pair minutes. He’ll never develop sitting out games.

When was the last time we got a 60 min effort? '82?

Super Bowl Sunday two years ago. The Oilers showed up drunk.

why does this team continually shoot themselves in the foot?

they think they're the smartest people in the room, 5 steps ahead, playing 8d chess, etc

let's bring 3 goalies into the game too

I knew ho sang was going to be benched. Isles always think there gonna outsmart everyone so now there gonna try this 7 defenseman thing. It's not easy being and islanders fan when continue to make these head scratching moves.

Game 5 vs Caps in 1987 Easter Epic

I don't get why they're so surprised that Mayfield (41 NHL games prior to this season) and Pelech (53 NHL games prior to this season) looked better than Pulock (22 NHL games prior to this season). Poor guy gets called up last season and gets hurt the first game and never gets back in because this team was enamored with Dennis Seidenberg

 

[xIsle]

I wonder how Pulock can feel. This is his second game and each time there is 7 D. Difficult to gain confidence when the coach obviously do not trust you too much...

On a side note, I'm happy to see Beauvillier back (about time, three games in a row was a bit too much). Sucks it's Ho-Sang who is scratched (not surprised by this). Chimera should be our 13th forward or alternate with Kulemin.

People seem to forget that Mayfield is 2 years ahead of Pulock and Pelech is 1 year ahead. D take time, especially offensive D who need to work in their own end. The only way he's going to progress is by playing.
