Was Corey Schneider injured in the last game?

I believe so. Skarek replaced him at the start of the 3rd. He looked fine at the end of the 2nd period, so I don't know why he didn't start the 3rd.

Why should the injury bug avoid Bridgeport smh.

Schneider was having a terrific season so far.

It seems the injury bug has hit Worcester. Officially Ken Appleby is "banged up", so that's why Tikkanen was recalled to Bridgeport and not him.

Your daily dose of schadenfreude.

Dylan Garand, the next great goalie prospect for the Rags got pulled last night after giving up 5 goals on 13 shots.

Season stats:
7W 9L
Goals against average 3.30
Save percentage .887

That’s comparable to Skarek. :oops:

Every time I have seen Garand play, he has been mediocre at best. He is small and doesnt have the lateral speed you would expect for a smaller goalie.

Often looks sluggish on the ice and slow to read and react to a play around the net. He is lucky that he has played on teams capable of covering up for his deficiencies.

Exciting game in Bridgeport tonight. Islanders tie the game with 1 minute left and then win it in OT with a nice drive by Koivula. 5-4
Dufour 3A
Bolduc 1G 2A
Ish 1G 1A
Koivula 1G
Durandeau 1G
Cholowski 1G

Considering we have a totally barren pipeline, Dufour, Bolduc and Ish seem like pretty good prospects.

As someone who watches all these games to me Dufour has potential to be a nice 3rd line NHLer. 20 goals is his nhl upside with some PP time, he’s big and finishes his checks. The skating needs work along with commitment in his own zone. Iskhakov is talented with puck, his skating isn’t as bad as people made it out to be. He could be third liner who plays on PP. He plays with nice motor, good at stealing pucks. He’s small though, he’s probably smaller than hes listed. We’ve seen Bolduc, he would be better if he used size more but he’s NHLer I think. Could be guy that gets 10-15 goals a year, he has bomb of a shot. Durandeau also I think could be a depth player, he has improved tons and plays a game a lot like Cizikas. I’d love to see him get opportunity here now especially with our injuries considering there will be some new players turning pro next year(Maggio and Kuefler from last years draft and possibly Luikas coming over)

I watch a lot of games and that's a good assessment on those players. I think when Bolduc came up to the islanders, they told him to be more physical. He had 13 hits in 6 games. You know how many hits Aho has in 53?..........26 lol. I'd rather see Bolduc get a chance over Aho. He'll probably put up same amount of points as aho and be more physical. Yea he had a bad game against vancouver but who didnt.

Drove up to Connecticut for 72 hours. Took my 10 year old niece to her first game on Friday in Hartford. Drove back home Saturday morning only to get a text from her father later on that day that she drove him crazy to go to her first home game last night. What a first couple of games to go to, I think I’ve done my part. I think the season hinges on the next 5 games for the parent club. If they were to sell Mayfield, Parise, and Varlamov then we both don’t make the playoffs. If we stay pat I think we both squeak by. If we stay pat and the parent club just misses out I think we go on a run if we get Fasching and Holmstrom back. Don’t think for a second that this isn’t going to play a factor with the deadline. I don’t think the Long Islanders are doing anything even if they make the playoffs, don’t have the coach and as crazy as it might sound cause he’s been underwhelming but the Wahlstrom really hurts. If Barzal or Pageau are hurt for a long period of time well then it’s all but over. If that is the case I wish we could trade those aforementioned pieces for AHL bodies. Mayfield for Lysall or Mekhuliev would be orgasmic.

Spot on. Bravo. I’m going to say this and of course it’s ludicrous but I wish i could see Ish with Barzal and Bo. That being said he definitely could be the next Rocco Grimaldi. He is t-I-n-y. He is not going to be Sergei Samsonov that’s for sure.
 
I'd like to see Tikkanen make his Bridgeport debut. It's well deserved at this point
 
Can we please stop with the hyperbole on Ishakov? He just scored his first AHL goal in 20 games. In July he’ll be 23 years old and he’s 5’ 8”” in heels.

Good luck with that in the big leagues where they’re bigger, faster and more skilled than his current competition.

Durandeau was an emergency recall today.

I shook his hand on his way to the bus for he my nieces new favorite player. I’m 5’8 and he’s taller than me but maybe he was wearing lifts. Listen I think your right, he was being tossed around by the Hartford Wolfpack can you imagine ISH going up against an NHL defenseman. But he has an NHL shot, or maybe I just hope.

What a weekend, Skarek was terrific tonight and Ish is getting hot at the right time. If we make the playoffs and the parent club doesn’t I believe we can win the whole damn thing with Fasching and Holmstrom back.

I’d send Fasching back today. He doesn’t belong in the NHL.
