GDT: #21 | Edmonton Oilers @ New York Islanders | November 23rd | 7:30 PM | F/W 3-0

[Lame Lambert]

Pageau’s resurgence is huge for this team.

Holmstrom looked pretty good for his first game

Sorokin is a BEAST

I thought they played a very good game, overall

Best part about Holmstrom is he was able to keep up with the play of the top line and didn’t make any rookie mistakes. I’d like to see more of him.

Am I the only one concerned about us giving up 50 shots?

How many did the Isles block?

15. One by Bailey

Much to process in that one.
Vintage Pelech-Pulock on McDavid.
Holmstrom looked very comfortable at level.
Ilya is a freak. His first big save was ridiculous.
JGP had a great game. Parise again good.
Refs were smoking

Parise 6 shots on net. Awesome D

A lot of them at bad angles

Really like lane lambert. guy seems like a no-nonsense, intelligent coach. the kind of guy you want to battle for, and not piss off, or act dopey around.

a real straight shooter--like Gary Cooper; the strong, silent type.

Exactly the way I remember him when he played for Red Wings

Lambert's a fashion guy, every game another tie

Astute observation!

I had an out of town feed earlier this season. Randy Moeller is a color commentator for some team and said he played with Lambert in Quebec and he was a fashion plate back then. Said he was known in locker room as "handsome Lane Lambert "

That was an impressive performance. Most complete game of the year. Proud of the boys.

 

[I Loveallsports]

Its incredible. He is so quick from post to post, always in great position, fantastic rebound control, and his glove is great as well. It seems like the only way he gets scored on is if he cant see the puck at all, and even than its more likely that the puck will just hit him. Hes absolutely a top 3 goalie, he may even be the best goalie in the league. Love watching this kid play.

As mentioned I watched him live in Toronto Monday. He's almost robotic. Nothing phrases him.

 

[scottywiper]

Coach was extremely positive about Holmstrom.

 

[JKP]

Just finished watching on delay:

Sorokin is dang good.
Holmstrom looked good.
JGP was excellent.
PK was excellent.
Keep the points rolling!

I saw someone wearing a Ho-Sang jersey when the camera cut to a shot of the Islanders' store during the intermission. Was that you, @SI90 ?

What's up with Palms?

 

[Mike C]

What's up with Palms?

"Upper body injury"

Day to day supposedly

Might be best group of assistants since Laviolette was here.

Holmstrom played a responsible game. System seemed familiar to him.

Clutterbuck, JGP and Pelech I thought were terrific.

You rate this game better than Isles vs. Carolina? I have both those games up there. But still favor the Carolina game a bit more.

 

[Taswell]

If Holmstrom can become a top 6 player after how maligned that pick was at the time, that'd be a huge win.

What a blast from the past!!. His guy was Petrov lol

Aside from a slow start together that line actually looked decent. Even if that line doesn’t become anything or stick, it at least showed Lamberts willingness to take chances and try things out. Trotz would have never done that with Holmstrom Barzal and Wally

Does Petrov even exist? I'm convinced he's a created player in BAP mode for NHL22 that Bonzo made.

 

[NC 1972]

What's up with Palms?

I’m going to say concussion based on the collision he had the other night looked like his head took a bit of a jolt.

I do, because we were able to contain McDavid and Draisaittl while having to shelter Barzal and Holmstrom. Plus the fact that we were moving our feet for a full 60, and in spite of the 49 or 50 saves Sorokin had to make I never felt that we were under siege or holding on for dear life.
