GDT: GDT #50 New York Islanders @ Philadelphia Flyers | January 30th | 7:30 PM | HULU/ESPN+ Only | F/W 3-0

[NYI365]

Apropos of nothing, Simon Holmstrom just scored his 27th point in his 43rd game.

Alexis Lafreniere has 30 points in 50 games.

Neat little stat I just found interesting.

SOROKIESSSS

Holmstrom has a ridiculous amount of potential.

Plays like Derek King
Two seasons from now he will be a 30/30 guy
He's still only 23, more growth coming

Sorokin has been insane lately. Dude is playing out of his mind. We need Varly back though so we can ensure he's rested enough for our inevitable Cup run.

Can we not rely on Ilya to hold them out? Some possession time would be good

 

[Tres Peleches]

Hot Holmy

So hot

All him tonight. Luckily Philly is on back to back (and also frankly sucks)

 

[leeroggy]

This is the old Pelech
What a difference the last ten days

 

[19 in a row]

too much to ask for a PP goal here? they have carried the play but if we get 2-0 lead with them on the back end of B2B would be nice.

The whole team, seems like it's the Trotz era Islanders.

I really think if he can put on a few more pounds he can be a 30-30 dominant defensive winger. Hossa is a HOF player but I’m struggling to find a realistic example.

I love the Hossa comparison because of his style and 200ft game. Obviously we don’t expect him to be that level but I agree that he’s definitely cable of being a consistent 25-30 goal guy while playing a good 2way game and being a top penalty killer.

Agreed. He can only do so much, we need to give him some goal support to go with that possession time.

I swear I was going to comment earlier that Pelech recently has looked like his old self. I didn’t want to jinx it. You’re 100% right

 

[ekill08x]

not enough shots

 

[chico19341]

Whole lot of nothing for one shot

My first hockey camp I ever remember was Derek King and Brian Mullen at Long Beach arena.

Gatssssssssssssssssssssss

Our PP reminds me of North Carolina running the 4 corners in college basketball before the shot clock. If we were trying to kill off those two minutes we did a good job.

Yes I am dating myself.
