GDT: Preseason game #4 NJ Devils @ NY Isles Sept 20 7PM | W 2-0

[SI90]

Toews looks smooth.

I’m loving what I’m seeing from him.

Who was the idiot that dumped the puck

 

[BelovedIsles]

I’m loving what I’m seeing from him.

Definitely. He was my sleeper. He makes good decisions, passes well, has a good shot, moves decisively.

 

[steveat]

Nelson does not move his feet when he has the puck

 

[MJF]

I've been saying for 5 years now Nelson should be playing LW. I actually can see his playing style meshing well with Barzal for instance

Cappy liked the idea of Nelson as a big bodied center. Too bad he plays like he’s 5’7” 150.

 

[Brunomics]

Toews is so smooth and confident with the puck. I never see him panic at the blue line.

 

[BelovedIsles]

I’m so done w Nelson. He’s has 3 point blank chances in money spots and doesn’t score.

 

[SI90]

Toews is so smooth and confident with the puck. I never see him panic at the blue line.

Reminds me a bit of CDH

 

[Lame Lambert]

How’ve we been looking this tc and preseason?

 

[Jester9881]

It's nice having a time clock! We're moving up, boys!

 

[Brunomics]

Reminds me a bit of CDH

Cdh was never this smooth.

 

[Brunomics]

How’ve we been looking this tc and preseason?

All the games pretty much have been ugly hockey Bellows and Toews deserve to make the team.

 

[Jester9881]

Scott Mayfield just doesn't think the game well. He's exactly what I worry Bode Wilde becoming.

 

[BTrotts19]

Seeing #25 out there and instantly had a flashback to Chimera

 

[eoin92]

With Nelson, I’m not sure if they’re trying to convince us that he is a center, or convince themselves that he’s not.

 

[steveat]

Wilde has better tools and is younger..now that we have a system, he could turn out better

 

[SI90]

Cdh was never this smooth.

Toews is definitely a better skater but CDH was absolutely smooth.

 

[Jester9881]

Clutterbuck has to clear that puck

 

[Jester9881]

With Nelson, I’m not sure if they’re trying to convince us that he is a center, or convince themselves that he’s not.

There just isn't a spot for him and a gaping hole at 2C.

 

[BTrotts19]

Nelson does not move his feet when he has the puck

Gotta feel a coach like Trotz is gonna get frustrated with this pretty quickly. Our razor thin depth at C is probably the only reason he makes it as far as the TDL...just need one Chiarelli out there to make us happy

 

[steveat]

I think Burroughs is better than Mayfield

 

[BelovedIsles]

Lee and Nelson do not work.

 

[steveat]

Put Bailey or Kovar as 2c..this is getting ridiculous

 

[steveat]

between Fritz, Bernier, Sislo and Hitchcock..we have decent depth in case of injuries

 

[BTrotts19]

Islanders hockey is back...pinned in the defensive zone
