Bridgeport Islanders Discussion 2021-22: Playoffs Start May 2

[DarkHorse2]

0-0 after 1 period.

 

[DarkHorse2]

1:01 into the second, it's 1-0 Hartford.

 

[DarkHorse2]

Shortly after that, Wilde scores to make it 1-1.
Goals in two straight games.

 

[DarkHorse2]

Moments later, 2-1 Hartford.

 

[Chapin Landvogt]

They have like 25 forwards and decide to put a Dman on the wing.

That's rich.

Love to see what they're doing with Bibeau and Coskey. Or are they hurt?

 

[DarkHorse2]

I stepped away for a bit, and now it's 4-3 Hartford after 2.
Fritz and Durandeau with the other two goals.

Thompson has given up on trying to develop forwards. He's just going to play all defensemen.

 

[leeroggy]

His size and shot... reminds me of former NHLer Sheldon Souray.

Souray had a mean streak that seems missing here with Bolduc.

Bolduc also has a long way to go to match Souray's female companions over the years . . .

 

[DarkHorse2]

Wotherspoon ties it up at 4-4 with his first of the season.

 

[DarkHorse2]

I hope you're sitting down.
Wolfpack scored, lead 5-4

 

[DarkHorse2]

As Alan Fuehring said, the Sound Tigers ran out of time. They lose 5-4, and are winless in 10, with three wins on the season.

 

[Coach1309]

Thompson still being the coach is remarkable

Skarek still being in the AHL is even more remarkable 4W - 19L

 

[Chapin Landvogt]

As Alan Fuehring said, the Sound Tigers ran out of time. They lose 5-4, and are winless in 10, with three wins on the season.

I tipped on the team winning 6 times in regulation time this season.

I'm not even on pace with this prediction, am I?

2W coming with backup goalies ?

Don't see it happening, unless Golyshev and Salo go Beast Mode.

Just put Appleby in, probably would go .500

Back at it against Hartford

[DarkHorse2]

Blade Jenkins scores his first pro goal, S'Tigers up 1-0, on assists from Carpenter and McKinnon.

[DarkHorse2]

Incredibly, Hartford answered back quickly, and it's 1-1.

 

[DarkHorse2]

Late in the first, Hartford scores, and it's 2-1 W'Pack.
It's so depressing.

First period ends with S'Tigers down 2-1.

 

[MJF]

Late in the first, Hartford scores, and it's 2-1 W'Pack.
It's so depressing.

First period ends with S'Tigers down 2-1.

On this goal Bolduc was on the far boards to the right circle of Ken Appleby, he fumbled the puck stickhandling and had his pocket picked. Only other defenseman back was Hutton to defend against 2 HFD fwds on the doorstep.

Learning experience for Bolduc.

 

[DarkHorse2]

Bardreau tied things up at 2-2, but as usual Hartford came right back and took a 3-2 lead.

 

[DarkHorse2]

In the end, the S'Tigers fall again, 4-2

 

[MJF]

I paid close attention to Simon Holmstrom in this game. He is willing to do the grunt work along the boards and behind the net. Nobody got the puck to him today. Just glad to see he doesn’t shy away from contact.

Noticed that during the WJC also, he puts the work in for sure and is good around the boards, he has a good frame, if he adds muscle he could add some power to his game. He's really raw but thinks the game really, really well.
