Around The NHL Part XXVII

Islanders are going to injure half of this Tampa team if they're gonna play games 3 and 4 or more like they did tonight

After game 1 all I heard from the pundits and radio was "well, its almost better to lose 8-2 than to lose a heartbreaker by 1".

lol

Thinking the same thing. Hopefully the extra rest since they had will get them thru this round. But now they could be without their top 2 centers.

Yeah they're going to really have to grind out the next two wins. I think they can do it, but they will be close, hard fought ones like today.

 

[Kovalev27]

The islanders just don’t have a whole lot of talent. And it showed on those power plays.

imagine Lou got a nomination for gm of the year? What did he do? Overpay for pageau? Getting thru the second round gets you gm of the year now? Literally what else did he do? His team is buried in cap hell right now

 

[Tob]

Wonder if Killorn gets a game for that. They're gonna need him.

 

[AIexisLafreniereNYR]

Well that was satisfying

 

[DuneGoon84]

McDonagh was horrible in this game I don’t know how you can be wishing we had signed that contract after watching that

his skating looks noticeably worse than in his prime. He’s going to age very, very poorly IMO. Wade Redden 2.0

Don't know what game you were watching, he made 1 bad play with that back hand. Other than that he was awesome defensively. Quit hating bruh. I thought he was the best defender of the 2 teams. Like the other poster said, when healthy mcd is a stud defensmen.

 

[Tob]

That Barzal contract will be a fun one to watch in the off season

 

[LiveLongandProspal]

Oooh ooooh, do the Zibanejad OT winner next!

 

[GoAwayPanarin]

Yeah the biggest take away from this game is that a short handed Tampa team just out Trotz'd the Islanders.

Wonder if Killorn gets a game for that. They're gonna need him.

Considering that the failed first draft of a sesame street character came back, I'd say no.

 

[Kovalev27]

What else did Lou do? He failed to get Panarin. He took varlamov over Lehner

and his team fell assbackwards into the play in round where as if the season continued they would have missed.

I mean seriously what exactly is it that gives him a gm of the year nomination?

 

[bl02]

That Barzal contract will be a fun one to watch in the off season

and pretty much zero draft picks.

 

[bl02]

Wonder if Killorn gets a game for that. They're gonna need him.

I don't think he should but who knows. They are gonna need all their forward depth going forward.

“When healthy”, and he’s already sustained multiple injuries. The impact injuries have had on him was noticeable when he was a Ranger, I can’t imagine those things will improve with age.

Again, super glad we didn’t give out that contract

I think 5 and the game was probably enough, but you never know with the DOPS

 

[NYSPORTS]

good news for the Isles, with such a deep draft they make their first pick approx 88 picks after the Rangers 1st pick

Barry Trotz

[Thirty One]

Can the Rangers loan some forwards to Tampa?

 

[Edge]

Can the Rangers loan some forwards to Tampa?

Only if they agree to our insistence that they take some draft picks as well.

 

[Kovalev27]

Barry Trotz

that wasn’t this year though

 

[LiveLongandProspal]

The dad literally threw the chair right where Frankie was
