GDT: Toothless vs. Tavares: Knights begin road trip on Long Island TODAY Monday 4 p.m. on TV

[VanIslander]

Brooklyn locals might be a bit confused to hear the Knights will be playing at the Barclays Center, Long Island, New York.

No, it's not the soccer team...

No, it's not that basketball team...

And no, this is not the mascot for the game...

Let's begin again... our team from Vegas has hit the road and will play the NYI today at 4 PM Vegas time...

It's the start of a 6-game, 9-night epic road campaign!

Tomorrow our Knights head downtown to MSG to take on the Rangers. Then Thursday the guys go up the road to battle in Boston and Saturday morning (11 am Vegas time) it's across the border for a game in Ottawa. Then a day off before back-to-back games in Toronto and Montreal.

James Neal may be a bit toothless but he'll show up today for the Islanders game.

The Knights are 2-0 on the road this season but the Isles are UNBEATEN in regulation at home with a 3-0-1 record at the rink in Brooklyn.

NYI captain #91 John Tavares: a 3rd period HAT TRICK two nights ago

John Tavares notched a hat trick in Saturday's 6-2 win over the Nashville Predators. Believe it or not, all of Tavares' offense came in the third period, as he scored three consecutive goals in 7:14. Those markers gave the Islanders 4-1, 5-1 and 6-1 leads at the time. Tavares finished the night with a plus-1 rating and four shots on goal in 17:33 of ice time. The Islanders captain has nine goals and 13 points in 11 games this season. This was his second hat trick in three games. He's collected an incredible 10 points in his last four contests.


The game Monday - today - is at 4:00 p.m. this afternoon Vegas time... but in New York...

​

The game begins at 4:00 p.m. Vegas Time Baby!

Now available on Cox (thank goodness)

Why is it that all goalies in Vegas are good as gold ????

Good luck Golden Knights !
I'm going to watch this game tonight

 

[VanIslander]

Why is it that all goalies in Vegas are good as gold ????

Because it's not the goaltending that's been the difference: it's the COACHING (Jack Adams trophy 2018!) and SKATERS (team play defensively as well as offensively).

Note: Remember, the game is not "tonight" it's this afternoon at 4:00 p.m. Vegas time!

 

[Asuna]

this game should be a good test for the knights. tavares is on fire lately

I love my wife of 38 years but this new girl is soooo hot.......
I’m not cheating on John Tavares for Cody Eakin

Isles 9
Knights 1

I will be the jackass in an Islanders jersey and Knights hat.

Awesome GDT VanIslander
It looks great on mobile.

 

[BattleBorn]

Theo is up.

Hopefully forever.

 

[Privet]

Is Theo expected to play tonight?

 

[BattleBorn]

Is Theo expected to play tonight?

He's available tonight. Assuming he gets to Brooklyn in time, I imagine he's playing.

 

[Soundgarden]

I need revenge after Tavares netted a hatty vs. Nashville. You know what to do Knights.

 

[Puckrobber]

If Theo plays, who sits? Maybe McNabb or Hunt. Regardless, it should be a good game.

Onward, Knights!

Onward, Knights!

i would say mcnabb. he's already sat once. hasn't been that impressive. theodore/engelland could be a nice pairing

Toothless ....real nice.
James Neal comes back early with a broken hand to play in the first couple weeks of the season instead of waiting for hand to heal. Than takes a stick to the mouth which did some heavy duty damage to his jaw and mouth not counting the 5 or 6 teeth knocked out . Spending hours getting surgery in the early morning hours before jumping on plane not unlike any other injury but I guess you find it funny.
Strange coming from your own fanbase considering what he has done so far.

Tonight will be a true test from the Islanders (who now play on Brooklyn). The Islanders want to reaffirm their status as a real playoff contender. They hope to do this and continue their most recent momentum (last five games 4-1) by beating up on the lowly expansion VGK.

I hope that VGK can escape Brokelyn without any major injuries and with their confidence still intact. Shipachyov was the first casualty of the VGK's first extended road trip. This game will require some mental toughness that might not have been necessary in some previous VGK wins.

Hey guys, Ottawa's GM Pierre Dorion is in attendance for the game tonight, Ottawa would be in the market for forward, likely for the bottom 6. Was looking for your opinion on who that could be from your side. Personally would like to see Haula in Ottawa, any chance it could be him?

You're a new hockey fan, aren't you?

I lost my first four teeth playing hockey back in '80, '81. Everyone laughs and it's game on. This is what hockey players do.

Heck, he'll be facing a toothless grin today.

 

[BattleBorn]

I didn't like the whole toothless thing just because of how it kind of depicts the ol' Knights. I defer to GDT maker, though. Especially when there's effort put in.

Good thread.

Players tend to lose their chicklets and former NHLers tend to make jokes about it. If they're OK with it, it's fine by me.

It's extremely painful but it's an old rite of passage.

Doubtful. Maybe someone with less than 3 years of term like Lindberg, if the price is right. Maybe Bellemare.

 

[BattleBorn]

Welp, unforced error on Haula there.

 

[Northern Knights]

Delay of game on Haula.

 

[Northern Knights]

...and a penalty on Perron.

I'm not liking all of these turnovers.

 

[BattleBorn]

And another. Perron.

Time for some PK magic.
