What a turnaround by the Islanders. They've only allowed 98 goals so far - the fewest in the league. This is AFTER they were historically bad last season. I'm sure part of it is good goaltending, but man... what a job Trotz is doing.
I know...clogging the NZ style that won him the Cup...can they keep it up? We’ll see...they’re going to be tough competitors I think for the last PO spot in the Metro....
Any takes on that Oilers deal?
Yeah but I don’t think he is trying to characterize Tavares as some pariah. For context most of the islanders went to JTs wedding, I am pretty sure Trotz is just reminding them not to go easy on their buddy during the game

Omfg JR trade our fringe dmen!!!
They also just traded Drake Caggiula for Brandon Manning. Don't know much about Caggiula but I thought Manning was very awful for Philly at least.
Don’t think Petrovic moves the needle in any positive direction for Edmonton. The gameplan there remains to play McDavid high with Draisaitl as his center/co-center and hope he scores more points than the rest of the team gives up.
@66-30-33 is at a bar somewhere sad we didn't get him.DECEMBER 30: Edmonton Oilers acquire defenseman Alexander Petrovic from Florida Panthers for defenseman Chris Wideman and 2019 third-round pick.

I feel FLA won.
I think I'd rather have Wideman.
AND I get a draft pick? Cool.
And save half the contract cost, too (both UFA. 1.95mil vs 1mil)??
Right?
Caggiula would have been awesome for us. I would rather have him than ZAR.Oh man, @ColePens must be hurting.
Hall..........................I wonder who they'd give us for Oleksiak.
The guy has played like 99% of the games. It's crazy they haven't traded for a back up. Subban is ass.MAF has 5 SO but a .908 sv percentage!?! That is weird.

Sounds like typical MAF..
His smile will get him in the Hall of Fame, don't worry.
