Bridgeport Islanders Discussion 2021-22: Playoffs Start May 2

[WangMustGo]

That was a sweet move by Salo. Worth a look.

Could certainly use some of that on the island.

 

[Dr Quincy]

Nasty move by Salo.

 

[MJF]

Nasty move by Salo.

We like hearing that

Golyshev 2G and Skarek had a SO today

 

[SI]

Golyshev 2G and Skarek had a SO today

Salo had 2 A today too.

 

[scott99]

Skarek off to a nice start, 1.94 ga and .933 save percentage. Plus they are winning, pleasant surprise.

 

[steveat]

Yeah. Golyshev should never have been down here. He's totally going to be replacing someone soon I hope.

Good let him f*** the league up and force his way into the lineup

Swap him and Bellows.

 

[DarkHorse2]

Who's Andreoff? Is he better than Koivula?

Classic tweener. Too good for AHL, not good enough to be an NHL regular.

 

[Taswell]

Anyone seen Skarek play this year? Has he drastically improved or is he just benefitting from the first decent Bridge team we've had in years?

He’s improved a lot, the coaching is getting through to him. He is much more in control and looks like a confident kid again like he did when we drafted him.

I remember watching him in a preseason game this year, and he looked really good. Seemed like he was in control, and was calm in net. Haven't seen him at all in Bridgeport, but I liked that sample from him.

That great news, hopefully he can take up the backup mantle in a few years.

He has built on the preseason for sure, thought he was ticketed for ECHL but Appleby may end up in ECHL now.

 

[scott99]

If Skarek can continue his upward trend, he could be a decent #2 goalie behind Sorokin after Varly’s contract is up.

Would be the perfect scenario.

 

[Taswell]

Golyshev seems to be tearing it up at the Bridge. I find him intriguing, might have something there if he can get his game to match the speed of the NHL

He is too good for AHL, he is going to be here soon. He is very energetic and quick, for small guy likes to hit also. He always finishes checks thus far. He had good night points wise tonight but Holmstrom looks like a different player this year, just seems stronger and confident. He and Koivula seem to have some chemistry.

 

[BelovedIsles]

Good to read that BP is doing well and getting contributions from key prospects. I'm intrigued to see how Bolduc versus Salo goes. I can't really see Golyshev replacing anyone, unless someone like Palms continues to not score.

 

[PK Cronin]

Where is Golyshev slotting in on the Islanders though? Unless a trade/injury happens he'll be in Bridgeport.

He’s not taking anyone’s job in Trotz’s plan for his 4 lines. Unless Parise stops skating.

If Parise’s back continues to tighen up I can see Golyshev getting the nod over Bellows.

Maybe something like…?

Beauvillier-Barzal-Wahlstrom
Lee-Nelson-Bailey
Golyshev-Pageau-Palmieri

I feel like Barry likes him. I remember he put Golyshev on a line with Barzal and Lee during training camp.

With this being the first 82 game season in awhile, I expect a number of injuries at some point.
