Post-Game Talk: Nashville at Islanders 15 October 2015 - License To Ill

[BonMorrison]

Stupid ****ing play by Josi.

 

[Soundgarden]

Ugh just shoot Josi.

 

[Marty Party]

Just a big tease. Erasing this game from memory.



Done.

 

[Cashville]

Well, can't win them all. Four unanswered from the Isles; can't do that.

 

[Drake744]

Stupid ****ing play by Josi.

Seriously. What in the actual ****?

 

[Mass]

holy crap Ribs you suck...

Don't forget Fisher

 

[BonMorrison]

Oh well - onto the next one.

 

[Mass]

Rinne's just got to stop at least one of those three bad goals

 

[jwhouk]

Welp. Can't win 'em all.

EDIT: Who wants Saturday's GDT?

 

[Soundgarden]

At least Forsberg was his usual self. Had Jones not screwed up it's a different game.

 

[GTislanders]

I wouldn't be upset as fans. You guys were in total domination from start to finish. That was very hard to watch as an Isles fan.

 

[Flgatorguy87]

On the positive side watching Forsberg makes me feel all warm and tingly.

 

[Cashville]

Leon Lett anyone??

As a Bills fan, nice one

 

[Soundgarden]

On the positive side watching Forsberg makes me feel all warm and tingly.

Yup, we finally have an elite forward all to ourselves.

Don't forget Fisher

At least Fisher could win the odd face-off, didn't take insanely ill-timed personal (and cheap) retribution elbow-to-head penalties in the o-zone, and could dish out more hits (0 Riberio - 6 Fisher) than puck give-aways 3 Riberio - 1 Fisher).

But it's PL I'm questioning after this game... he clearly hasn't any trust in the 3rd line (as demonstrated again by trying to ride the 1st and 2nd lines for most of the closing stretch) and is desperately attempting to "tweak" the top 2 lines to spark the entire offense. But the Gaustad as extra skater #1 followed by Jarnkrok as extra skater #2 was the clincher for me - PL needs to find a way to feel some love for the whole "top 9" to get things truly moving. Whether that loves come out of blind faith and and a prayer (on PL's part) or guys like Bourque, Jarnkrok and Hodgson somehow finding a way to do more than try hard, I dunno.

But the team needs a reliable 3rd line. Either to play traditional shut down (and free up the 1c/2c lines for pure offense) or to chip in consistently on the offense. And right now, anyway, I'm putting the lack of a real 3rd line onto PL's plate.

 

[The Underboss]

Good game guys!! Best of luck!

 

[mikemcburn]

Yeah, for sure. Very tingly here. For Forsberg exclusively right now.

 

[Drake744]

I wouldn't be upset as fans. You guys were in total domination from start to finish. That was very hard to watch as an Isles fan.

We also had seriously probably 6 to 8 chances that hit iron or missed by inches. Puck luck wasn't on our side tonight.

Good game by you guys though either way.

 

[Montross]

holy crap Ribs you suck...

Thought it was terrible to sign him back for multiple years and so far he is proving me right. We shall see if he turns it around.

Sad thing is he was the most highly sought after free agent center so half the league wanted him. I'm not mad about that yet.

 

[Marty Party]

Good game guys!! Best of luck!

We'll see you again on March 17th after the Isles win. Feel free to use the same quote but hopefully add "in the playoffs" at the end.

GG.

Yep. Fish is a warrior, Ribeiro is a little punk at times.
Don't care for his attitude at all.

He better get his ship together and quick.
He's getting close to Jarnkrok on my polished turd list.

At least Jarnkrok looks like he still imagines he's got a roster spot of which he should prove his worth. Kid warrants some polish for that.

I'm still having an emotional disconnect with this game though and at the moment wouldn't be bothered trying to buff up Riberio. I'll get over it by tomorrow, but for now I've got visions of real grimy, squishy, and excessively dull turd piles dancing in my head - each one sporting Riberio's name tag and...

I gotta shake this off. Having some terribly un-nice Canadian thoughts.
