Player Discussion: Jean-Gabriel Pageau

[PWJunior]

Originally I thought it was a bit of an overpayment.

But the Leaf board is screaming about how bad an overpayment it was, and how bad the subsequent extension is (and I guess they should know all about that), and ranting about how senile Lou is, so now I'm convinced that it was a good deal.

Considering they're the joke of the league with the Zamboni thing, Lehner trolling The Snake, and their fraud GM, they need something to latch onto...

I picked up some Grey Goose so hopefully the game goes well, if not I still have Grey Goose.

You guys will love him, and I see he’s already making an impact. I’ll be rooting for you guys to make the playoffs and go on a run! Good luck JGP!

Enjoy Pager, he's a pro, a glue guy who never takes a night off.

The best part about him is he elevates his game to beastmode in the playoffs and can make guys like Crosby, Malkin and company look invisible.

Prepare to fall if love with him.

Sad to see him go but the Sens won't be peaking anytime soon so it was best for him to move on to a team such are yours.

Best of luck to you in the playoffs.

A goal, a fight, just missing an assist for the Gordie Howe hattrick. Really you could not ask for much more from his debut, won faceoffs, good defensively, heady player and has has heart. Didn't hesitate going after Trouba on the hit on MDC. He is already loved on the Island with his own ole ole chant. Nice debut.

I want that 3rd round pick as a Sens fan, so go win the cup Isles fans. Can't wait to see JGP in the playoffs with the Isles (although the PP needs a lot of work).

JPG has done more to show he's all-in as an Islander after one game than JT did in his 693 games here.

 

[RMimagery]

Love this guy already.

Big props to pageau sticking up for his teammate. Trouba better keep his head up all game next time they play.

 

[periferal]

Dude should get an A right away. I'd love to clone his attitude and put it in every other player on the team.

 

[PJGooch]

Offensive zone faceoff wins leading to scoring chances and/or sustained pressure. Hitting an open net. He's already more accomplished than just about anyone else on the team.

 

[xECK29x]

Should have kept the picks, you never know what they could turn into, they could have been 2 Pageaus!

 

[DJB]

Hes consistent fellas. This just isnt "I'm the new guy here"

He plays this way each and every night

 

[Islesfan22]

Should have kept the picks, you never know what they could turn into, they could have been 2 Pageaus!

Should have traded Tavares for a boat load of picks.

 

[dlawong]

Missed the first two periods but from what I heard, he played really well.

 

[TommytheCat]

guys an fn sparkplug ...

 

[islesfan3913]

Goal, fight, 70% on faceoffs in his debut. The more I read about him and see him play, the more I love the trade and signing. Put him with a goal scorer on one side and a physical and defensive minded player on the other to open up the ice, and I don’t see any reason why he can’t put up 40 point seasons on the third line going forward. I don’t expect him score 25+ goals again but he can put up a 15-25-40 stat line, win draws, and contribute defensively and on the PK, that $5 million deal will be more than worth it.

They don't seem to understand that he was trolling them - there's a serious discussion about them getting him to replace Andersen.

 

[FunkySeeFunkyDoo]

With Isles fans' hatred of the Leafs plus the addition of one of my all time favourite Sens, I am now 100% on the Islanders' bandwagon!!

Can't wait for the playoffs!!!

 

[slurpee addict]

Gotta love that debut. What a way to endear yourself with the fans and your team mates. Olé indeed.

Way to go Lou.

Put Pageau in the bucket with Barzal having options passing to Lee by the post or JPG.

 

[Kevin27NYI]

Already finding chemistry with Bails, loved their line until MDC got lit up.

 

[lorwood]

Looks like "Senile, asleep at the switch, old Lou" picked up a real hockey player, a guy who plays the entire game not just offense, a team guy. Gee I wonder what past Islander GM also looked for this type of player?
