That period wasn't that bad, but this team still sucks.

 

[Jauffre]

Nash is not snakebitten. He just can't score anymore.

This is now a basic truth unfortunately, there's nothing to debate. He'll just never be a goal scorer again.

 

[Bob Richards]

Rick Nash trying to score is like trying to push a bowling ball through a syringe tip.

 

[Glen Sathers Cigar]

Not great defense by Shatt on that second goal, but it was a 3-1 rush that’s he had to try and get back and cover for.

The real reason for that was an absolutely atrocious pinch by Skjei. I know nobody will ever admit when he does something wrong but he shoots he puck into his teammate while all 4 of his teammates are deep, he’s the last man back. Puck goes in the corner and he goes for it despite being the last man back.

What a stupid pinch by him.

 

[mrmovies779]

Do we start dressing 7 dmen and only play Shattenkirk on p.p.'s?Has it reached that point yet?

 

[slovakia18]

Grabner is so fast and in the Pk the best , but no goal...
His passes today a good.

 

[mike14]

It is amazing how we continue to look so suspect defensively.
Luckily, the Isles do too, so hopefully our offense can step up

 

[SnowblindNYR]

Ugh, that crossbar, this game should be 2-2.

 

[NCRanger]

If Shattenkirk was Roszival, he’d be getting murdered in here.

 

[Ori]

Yeah Lettieri hit the post - glad he avoid injury when Skjei hit him.
But I`m not happy with first 20 min. of hockey.

 

[Fitzy]

Shattenkirk has 3 points in his last 15 games, and 6 in his last 24.

Not PPQB numbers, to justify his D zone play, for sure.

 

[NYR]

2-1
Shattenkirk's over the NYR

 

[Mac n Gs]

I'm not biased.
I just call a **** play when I see it and I keep seeing it over and over from the same player.
If it was from another player I would've said the same things.
At the same time I'm just busting @Mac n Gs chops a little.
All in good fun

See, now the 2nd goal is something we can agree on, but it's a 3-on-1 rush so it sucks to begin with. Never letting you win on the Vegas or 1st goal from today

It reminds me of myself, a former Halo player who was very good, (Halo 2, 3 specifically)

Don't play Halo anymore like Nash plays his game of hockey, but when I do play Halo, I STRUGGLE to get a double kill. I have to work super hard to get kills.

That's Rick Nash. 110% effort is needed just to do a move or two to get open, but by that time he's tired and there's a defender on him. Even if he gets the shot, it's a weak one.

 

[Holocene]

This is a middle of the road hockey team. Right smack dab in the middle with the rest of the hoi polloi.

Yeah, they're not bad. They are just mediocre and tend to only play like they care for like 10 mins and have a questionable system.

 

[Vinny DeAngelo]

No he’s a vet so he’ll be top 4 no matter what... if he was 22 he’d be the AHL

 

[SA16]

So the second goal is now on Shattenkirk for not getting back to cover a guy all the way on the left side of the ice who was way ahead of him and not Skjei who pinched all the way in from the left side in the first place and didn't get to the puck in the offensive zone?

Skjei is immune on here.

It’s that he stopped skating right before the shot.. if kept skating and extending his stick he limits the isles players options making it an easier save for the goalie

 

[Ori]

pk has been great, our 2nd unit finally scored on pp so we can`t complain about our speciality team, but our 5v5 need to improve especially our 1st line. But AV still use the 4th line in O zone drops while chasing leads - I don`t know if that will work very well in this game.

 

[Doctyl]

Yea f*** Shattenkirk. I’d rather them have a 3 on 0 than 3 on 1.

He did slow down at the end for some reason. At the same time the reason Prince had a breakaway in the first place because the guy who was supposed to be covering him pinched all the way to the goal line in the offensive zone and missed. Shattenkirk was as far away from Prince as possible to start. Shattenkirk's chance to stop that play was a last ditch desperation play at best (that he didn't make) but it's a position he shouldn't have had to be in in the first place.

I don't think anyone is saying that.I also don't think people should ignore his defensive mistakes these past few weeks which have led to goals against.

Bruh..I won that before it even happened

 

[Embryo]

Islanders are a good team. We are, too but they played better in the first. I think we can beat them but if we lose, it's not because we suck, it's because the Islanders are a very good team.
