Post-Game Talk: Panthers @ Islanders: Holy **** a save percentage over .900

[floridada]

Alright guys try to save some of that energy for the 2nd period at least...

 

[Jean Luc Discard]

I think Petrovic has had about 6 shots already!

Petro > Ek.

So why is Mamin out of the lineup tonight? Was he injured or do we just like putting less effective players on the ice?

I think the strategy now is to have a really bad first period so that it can't get any worse in the second

 

[Mogo]

Can't get out of the zone.. SMH. Can we get any offense going on other than off the rush

 

[Jean Luc Discard]

Barkov looks tired. Maybe needs to be scratched for the next game.

Mamin is on the ice my friend
but I agree, he should stay in the lineup, a spark plug type guy.

 

[Mogo]

PP still slow as hell moving the puck and I will never understand why we have players playing on there off side. Taking away the one timer option. It's like there intentionally not wanting to have a chance to score on the PP

Just saw that. Another nice hustle play.

I'd like to see him get more opportunities. He absolutely brings a ton of energy even when the rest of these guys are lollygagging out there.

Been saying this all year about the offense. Can't sustain any consistent pressure. One and done chest snipes most of the time.

 

[GrumpyKelly]

Maybe Petro really is a forward and that's why he sucks so bad defensively

 

[Mogo]

Bjukestad??? WTF was that pass to NYI defense

 

[Jean Luc Discard]

Bjukestad??? WTF was that pass to NYI defense

He's just beastin' out there!

 

[Mogo]

Unbelievable how easy it's for NYI to get shots off from the blueline on our net with nobody within 10 feet

 

[MPGA]

Bjukestad??? WTF was that pass to NYI defense

Too bad he can't make an accurate pass like that to our players in the o zone

 

[Gentle Man]

Reimer looking sharp.

 

[Jean Luc Discard]

According to some, this 6'6 pylon operating as an anchor for the rest in the 1st line is just fine...

 

[I am not exposed]

At least if we get to a shootout, we should beat Lehner!

 

[I am not exposed]

The Islander broadcasters definitely better than ours!

 

[WaitingForThatCab]

Islanders getting away with some blatant takedowns here. Kind of hard to generate offense when you're being hog-tied constantly.

 

[Little Bobby Boo]

Lol, give me a break. Bjugstad is doing fine. Same as most of last season.

The whole Hoffman on the top line reminds me when Kessel was traded to Pittsburgh, and people were saying he was going to score a crazy amount of goals playing with Crosby. Well, that didn't happen. Just because you put talented players together, doesn't mean they will click.

The first line is fine overall. It wasn't the best game for them yesterday, but that should be one of the last lines messed around with. Sure, if they hit a big slump, then possibly give Hoffman a chance there.

But at the moment, I see it as why try and fix something that is not broke?

Our offense is not the issue, and doing some tinkering with the top line isn't going to suddenly magically mean our goaltenders start making more saves. How many goals do you expect the top line to score if Hoffman was there instead?

How can you write these things as Bjugstad bounces a puck on a clear, cross-blueline pass to Weegar, then kills possesion with a blind pass behind the net to an Isles Dman?

Okay, changed my mind. They are saying Trocheck should be selke candidate.

 

[StrangeVision]

What the f*** kind of defensive play was that!?

 

[GrumpyKelly]

lol Tro

 

[I am not exposed]

What the hell just happened haha
