I thought our system made all our goalies amazing though.

 

[Jeff18]

Is this team ****ing serious?

 

[Bandit]

I think it was Schenn and Andy as defenders tbh. Where was Muzz?

McNabb so dumb, he's wearing Muzzin's Jersey...

 

[kingsfan28]

Haha darryl. What a funny. "You have to force the islanders to take penalties."

I want him to try to make sense of the idea that the best possession team in the league is one of the most penalized with one of the fewest PP opportunities (and the home road splits are equally funny)

I scratch my head at this all the time. There were penalties all right, just not called because we don't see them trying to sell them. Lewis was crossed checked right at the blueline before one of the penalties and nothing was called .

Also, before this game started I was a little worried about having to lean on Enroth.

That's when the other 18 guys are supposed to, you know, show up for work. As Kopitar has said before, if everyone plays good, nobody has to be great.

The Islanders are 11-0-2, with 56GF, and 30GA at home against the West. That's 4.31 to 2.31 on average. I guess there's nothing too odd about the score at the moment.

Missed the first.How has Gravel looked

 

[kingsfan28]

Rumor is all the dads went down to the locker room and just stared at their kids after that period.Didn't say a word.

 

[Bandit]

Missed the first.How has Gravel looked

Brief.

McNabb so dumb, he's wearing Muzzin's Jersey...

Regardless, what the heck is Andreoff doing on that goal? He is no where near his man and creates a screen for Enroth.

 

[Bandit]

Alright, so pumped for the first period! Let's go!!!

 

[scryan]

Also got 4 goal notifications.

3-0 is hardly insurmountable in 40 minutes. Everyone needs a beer.

Hell yeah guys, RP is buying!

"I'll block the shot by screening my goalie!"

I can hear Don Cherry screaming "GET OUT OF THE WAY!"

 

[kingsfan28]

Yep.

 

[KingsFan7824]

I scratch my head at this all the time. There were penalties all right, just not called because we don't see them trying to sell them. Lewis was crossed checked right at the blueline before one of the penalties and nothing was called .

I think it's more about wanting the players to move their feet than whatever the refs are doing. They were mostly just gliding in the 1st period. Not enough battle.

 

[Ollie Weeks]

I don't see the big deal. 1 Islander near the net, 1 King near the net. That King failed to prevent the rebound chance. That's the problem, not that the zonal requirements meant that some one was marking their man slightly away from where we are comfortable seeing them.

 

[Jeff18]

It's good that Andreoff stayed back, but should have been more cognizant of the guy behind him. It's not that bad. The rebound is terrible though.

 

[kingsfan28]

Quick was lucky not to be in this game.

 

[kingsholygrail]

Pretty sure if the attacker is behind you, you're losing the defensive battle.

 

[Raccoon Jesus]

Every time an islander falls, he looks at the ref

Playing with himself in front of 16,000 people.

 

[Raccoon Jesus]

Good pressure to force an automatic call

 

[Bandit]

We're playing lazy

 

[volcom92886]

Why is Schenn on the PP???

 

[yankeeking]

It hasn't happened yet. It's 3-0.

thanmks this nhl site had a fourth goal up on the power play

 

[ScoreZeGoals]

The team has been bipolar for like the last 20 games
