GDT: GDT: #49 New York Islanders at Toronto Maple Leafs | January 23rd | 7:30 PM | F/5-2 L

[Big L]

quick period. have they taken commerciAl break yet?

 

[steveat]

YOu would think they would put Bolduc with a more experienced Dman. I guess the coach thinks highly of AHO.. It's not just me. 8)

 

[Lights911]

What happened to Wotherspoon?

 

[Tres Peleches]

Palms looks real good

 

[SI90]

At least we’re skating and seems like we’re motivated

 

[Not4u]

Completely different team with Pelly back

 

[GOLFWANG]

or because they will be playing the least amount of minutes but yeah keep thinking he is Potvin

8)

 

[Tres Peleches]

Of course they find their glasses the second something happens against the Leafs

 

[seafoam]

What happened to Wotherspoon?

Scratched I believe, they are giving Bolduc a look with Dobson out and frankly he is better than Wotherspoon.

They look good so far, Nelson just pulled a tooth out.

At least we’re skating and seems like we’re motivated

Lines are finally well assembled.

Palms looks real good

I said before, I think Palmieri had more points in his 20 games than Raty, Holmstrom and Fasching combined and while they’ve worked hard; Palmieri got his contract for a reason. Under-appreciated player

 

[seafoam]

Bolduc has a nice quick low snapshot that’s got through multiple times. Has made some nice outlet passes under pressure and is using his body to seperate bodies from pucks.

So far so good.

brocktober lost a toof

Palms looks real good

Needs to hit the net though.

A left handed D prospect we need to pan out if you look short and long term.

 

[The Real JT]

Help me out here my fellow Isles fans who might be knowledgeable about the Leafs radio broadcast team.

I was just driving home and listening to them on the NHL radio network. They’re yapping away about Boudreau being fired while the game is going on. I hear a roar from the crowd and they say the Isles had a chance with their player missing an opportunity. They don’t name the player or describe the play because they weren’t really paying attention. They continue their non game related banter and once back on topic they talk about the Leafs players but can barely name a single Isles player while the Isles control the play in g to he Leafs zone.

On the rare occasions they mention an Isles player the call them Barzell, Boovillier, Pooluck or Ratty. That last one gets a pass.

Is this what passes for great broadcasting in this hockey hotbed?

 

[SI90]

Lee!!! Crash the net and bang home rebounds. That’s good Hockey.

 

[seafoam]

We finally get Pelech back and we lose Dobson. Darn I just want see a fully healthy Defense. Anyway 6 points this week is a minimum. Seasons not over yet but we need an 8-2 ten game stretch where are rival Eastern Conference teams don’t even get a loser point.

To be honest, haven’t noticed missing Dobson, yet…

Mayfield looks more than able in second pairing role and Pulock looks more like himself with Pelech.

Bolduc-Aho pairing brings a lot of offense.

Welp isles have played their 20 minutes of hockey. Gonna be all shit the rest of the way. hope the 1 goal lead holds up.

 

[leeroggy]

Aho with a great outlet pass, take that haters!

 

[steveat]

GO AHO GO AHO GO GO GO AHO!

 

[duster19]

Nice period. Might win the cup!

 

[Tres Peleches]

Needs to hit the net though.

Yes, but the fact that he’s getting so many opportunities is GREAT. Was all over the ice, taking shots, and most importantly getting into scoring areas

 

[MJF]

We played a fine 1st period. Let’s build on the momentum.

 

[BrockLobster]

They looked excellent that period. But taking first period 1-0 leads then doing nothing for 40 min and losing 4-1 has been their latest gimmick. Hopefully that changes tonight.
