Bridgeport Islanders Discussion 2021-22: Playoffs Start May 2

Nice dish by Durandeau...



Raty not afraid to battle in the paint...

 

[MJF]

If this team was playing at NVMC they would do so much better

I think they’d get a legitimate 4,000 people tonight if this was at the Barn. Not the 4,000 they’ll list in the boxscore that is about 1,000 in reality here in Bridgeport.

Maybe if they get to the Finals they’ll move it to Nassau.

Not fer nuthin, battling I95 traffic at rush hour from points west of Bridgeport is a YUGE pain in the ass. I used to live in southwest CT, and rush hour traffic SUCKS.

Isles strategy of scoring 2 goals and then holding on for the next 2.5 periods is not a good one.

LOLz Butchie is here

Just remembered that the AHL championship trophy is the Calder Cup.

Brings up the interesting question… have any players won the AHL Calder Cup championship followed by the Calder Memorial trophy for NHL Rookie of the year the following year?

Don’t touch the money.

It was really bad today. I left Bayside Queens at 3:45 and got to Fairfield at 5:30.

Dearie me. What a classic Isles minute.

 

[Big L]

Well they really f***ed up that period.

 

[boredmale]

Looks like Raty has another assist on the 2nd goal

 

[Big L]

Alright get back to the way they played in the first, dominate and score a goal or two, and let’s go home.

He definitely had one on the second goal based on the clip, not sure if he had an assist on the first one though.

The box score only shows one assist for him, but 3 SOG and it looks like he took one penalty.

 

[MJF]

In the 1st period Charlotte looked like a team that hadn’t played in 2 weeks. Since then they’ve been outskating the Isles by a lot.

 

[scottywiper]

Bugger.

Lost coverage seconds after the goal.

 

[MJF]

And there it is!

 

[Big L]

They had their chances.

 

[scottywiper]

Shame. They coulda won that

 

[MJF]

We pissed this one away.

 

[Big L]

We pissed this one away.

Yes indeed. They caught charlotte rusty and fell apart.

 

[Chapin Landvogt]

Gotta win these kinds of games to get anywhere in the playoffs.

Game 2 is now crucial.

They've been shutout 40 minutes straight.

Sounds like Charlotte didn’t have a play in round and found their legs in the 2nd/3rd period.

BPT needs to punch back with a statement win Thursday or else it will get ugly when they go to Bojangles Arena.

Charlotte had a bye, no play in round. That’s probably why they looked rusty in the first. Bridgeport had no answer for them in the 2nd/3rd. And that gaff by Schneider really hurt.

Didn’t really have any visions of them advancing past Charlotte, but if had a 2-0 lead, should have closed out the W.

The locker room doors are at the same side of the rink and at the end of the first Raaty was chirping with 3-5 Canes including pointing at the scoreboard to let them know they were up 2-0. Interesting to see that side of him in person (saw a clip of him on twitter taunting a goalie he scored on) but sucks to see the end result be them winning 3-2.

I hope Raty outgrows that. Taunting your opponents is a sure way to get a target put on your back.
