Cant continue being outshot by double. I dont mind being outshot by a small margin if they are playing well, but by x2 just aint going to cut it.

Love that Gauthier is shooting so much, he just needs to stay consistent, one will go in.

I am not as worried as others about the shot total for the Ducks tonight. It was a road game, and historically the road teams have a tendency to have noticeably fewer shots than the home team.
Getting outshot 2 - 1 does seem a bit excessive, however.

Seems to happen to the Ducks at home all the time as well.

Thats the important part, and its a trend. Outshot 20-29, eh whatever, as long as they played well. But when its that big of a disparity, its a problem.

dude the shot keepers are wild. we just went from 20 to 19 while getting a shot, then they get two counts for one shot lol.
I thought this multiple times during the game. At one point in the 1st, the Ducks took a shot and they added a count for each team. The Islanders have been known to embellish certain stats such as hits. It wouldn't surprise me

I'm not yet in the send Gauthier to the AHL camp. It might not be best for the team short term but he's making improvements each game. He is getting shots on goal more consistently and once they start going in, his confidence will rise and hopefully his overall play.

Dostal, Terry, Fabbri, Strome, Dumoulin, and Monty continue to have strong play. McTavish and Killorn continue to disappoint even with McTavish getting points tonight.

It was very evident that Zegras was more involved playing at center. At minimum, his improvement was worth a longer look at center.

Dostal is going to get Gibson'd at this rate. Good thing we have Suchanek waiting to take over.
Nice to see some action on the PP atleast. Thats always good!

Its just a massive adjustment for Gauthier. Learning what still works in the NHL and what does not.

Like you, I'm seeing steady (but slow) improvement. As long as that continues, I think you keep him in the NHL if his confidence is not eroding. He seems like a confident guy so I think he stays.

Zegras needs to play center. He's certainly more deserving then McTavish at this point. McTavish has a lot of nice qualities when he's at the top of his game (which he is not currently), but I don't see him driving play the way Zegras can.

Dostal is going to get Gibson'd at this rate. Good thing we have Suchanek waiting to take over.

Suchanek blew out his ACL.

Good W. 4-4-1 is not a terrible start, if you asked me before the season started, I would take that record.

Dostal was a wall again. Really liked Lundy's game, same with McGinn. Good to see the Powerplay finally do something, the PK has looked pretty good all year, tough to let a late one in on a 5 on 3 where Gudas was making so many good blocks.
