Islanders going to a 5-3

Anyone watching do I have this right?:

Martin decided to run Dahlin, which is pretty much the same as if someone ran McDavid as a rookie.

McCabe responded with a questionable at best hit that injured Casey.

So MM being dumb lead to one of his teammates getting hurt?

 

[MattMartin]

Pulock with another blast 5-3

 

[Lame Lambert]

Pulock is so good

I’m not watching but that sounds about right. I know if you’re in the league you’re fair game but I hate seeing vets run young rookies. Especially 18 year olds.

 

[SI90]

Pulock wants the Richard this year I think lol. He’s a monster. So good.

 

[sabremike]

I am at the Mets game and Wright is probably going to lead off the bottom of the inning as a pinch hitter.

Any word on the severity of Zeeker's injury?

 

[SI90]

Statistically usually the first PP unit gets the bulk of TOI on the PP. this is why Pulock needs to be out with the first unit. Barzal will find him and he will blast away.

The only logical/illogical explanation I can think of is they don’t want him to kill Lee in front of the net lol

 

[eoin92]

So if this is our opening day lineup, we’re gonna suck?

 

[SI90]

Any word on the severity of Zeeker's injury?

Haven’t seen an update yet

 

[SI90]

Sabers lead 5-3 end of 2nd

I was under the impression everyone was already aware of this?

Are you crazy? A team that has sucked for years loses its best player. Of course we will be good.

I was holding out hope.

Wait they lost Barzal???

 

[GoIsles1]

Wait they lost Barzal???

You beat me to it :-D

If Cizikas is hurt, I could live with our centers being Barzal - Nelson - Kovar - Filppula for now, but why do I just know it will be Tanner Fritz instead? I d0nt even understand how this guy is still being considered for the team. He had 2 goals last year in 20 something games, was put on waivers and nobody in the league wanted him for free, yet he is still in consideration for an opening night spot on our team? Embarrassing
