GDT: Pre-Season #6 | New Jersey Devils @ New York Islanders | Brocktober 6th | 7:00 PM | F/3-0 L

[The Real JT]

Aho is not an NHL Dman.

 

[Big L]

Well that was disappointing.

 

[Lek]

Very unimpressed. We play like this Saturday, will be a long season.

 

[Top Corner]

Don’t really like Horvats body language this preseason, I’m not sure he hits 20 goals this year. Playing in Vancouver might be easier to tuck in a few more than he will here.

 

[scottywiper]

That was a Shmid effort

We paid a lot for a difference maker. He has been anything but that thus far. Can only hope he improves.

This happens and it will be a disaster with his salary....

 

[MJF]

Wish Hickey and Lambert could change roles.

Barzal could have 4 or 5 legit assist this game

How? You can't turn these guys into finishers.

Alright go off on like 3 preseason games

 

[MJF]

Holmstrom got more PP time than Wahlstrom. That says a lot more about how the staff see's wahlstrom.

They're giving Holmstrom every last opportunity to distinguish himself.

Lambert must be held accountable for this PP debacle. They give up as many SH chances as they get shots on goal.
It's looking horrendous again.

It's not the coaches. It's the players.

 

[Osakahaus]

Day to day for Engvall and Fasching....

``#Isles Lane Lambert on Oliver Wahlstrom, coming off season-ending knee surgery on Dec. 27: "It looks like he's still trying to find his way a little bit from a speed standpoint."``

Wahlstrom is the leading candidate for “tweaking” something and rehabbing it in the AHL.

Those were 2 separate posts put into one post.

 

[Lame Lambert]

This is not a good hockey team. I don’t know what else people need to see to come to that realization.

Alright Lane

 

[Osakahaus]

Takeaway is that we need that fix on defense still, and I expect a trade if we're still in it. If not? You doomposters get all the fun with this incoming draft.

 

[seafoam]

Lambert is junk, they’d be a well oiled machine under Trotz.

He needs to bury Dobson until he learns to prioritize his own zone first and foremost.

His quotes are baffling, it’s like he doesn’t try to make in game adjustments and just accepts whatever his hockey team is giving him that night.

I hope i am wrong, I want to see the guy have a great season and career here, but I just dont see it. He can score some goals and win face offs, but he isnt a dynamic difference maker, and for 8.5 per year he needs to be. Realistically he had a career year in a contract season and it paid off for him. The isles probably lost out on this one. I really wanted Meier he is a much better fit for this team.

 

[MarsTBOW]

Did we play too many Kids in games and not have maybe 2 games instead of one with a "Regular Lineup?"
There is no time for excuses...

 

[Tahoeblue]

Looks like the power play is in mid season form.

Some regular season play, i imagine

Probably we want enjoy the draft as that illustrious first round pick will be moved again for an average 2nd to 3rd line player by Lou. It needs to stop, The team is not that good! I say it , several other posters say it, the hockey world doesn’t have them in the playoffs. There just isn’t enough goals on this roster and not convinced this coach is the ideal coach for this roster

Crappin for Macklin

You realize we played all of our starters against half of the Devil’s farm system?

You guys will go above and beyond to forget what this roster truly misses, and its sad. They aren't missing a sniper. They badly miss a defenseman like Greene and Toews. I yearn to have a guy like that again on this roster. Its why I would pressure the islanders to play Odellius now over anyone else at LHD. We need to embrace the youth.
