Trade or message being sent?

I'd bet on message. NYI are struggling.

 

[Glorydays22]

no message, he played 7 or 8 games in a row. Griess hasn't played in a month.

What is the purpose of 'sending a message' to your goalie?

 

[Empoleon8771]

He doesn't dress as a backup iirc.

 

[Hivemind]

They have 3 goalies, so there's no need for a goalie getting the night off to be on the bench. Halak has played in literally every Islanders game so far this month. They have back-to-back games today and tomorrow. This is a non-event.

 

[Glorydays22]

again Griess hasn't played in almost a month and Berube hasn't even started a game. Just a day off

 

[SI90]

Sometimes they give him the full night off and dress Berube. Nothing to see here

I would have used email, but I am just like that.

Maybe because he's partly the reason of the nyi struggles?

 

[seafoam]

Halak usually doesn't dress when he's the backup.

You should email a long lost FB buddy.

Not post for the sake of adding tickers to your counter for "legimacy" reasons.

Take advice. Less is more.

 

[DonskoiDonscored]

Well I mean they have 3 goalies and they probably want all three of them to play at some point...

Except he's not. The team can't score or generate any scoring chances whatsoever and our defense has been average at best.

As has been said, they have 3 goalies. With all the **** Walsh has put out recently, and all the games that they started Halak anyway, why would you now think that a message is being sent?

Pretty sure Greiss played last night...

 

[Isles72]

much adoo about nothing bro .

carry 3 G's so the dude playing the second of b2b's gets to chill out in pressbox instead of a cold bench

 

[kasper11]

There's no point in him dressing as the backup when they play today. In the event of an injury, or Greiss getting pulled, they can put in Berube and save Halak for today.

Otherwise, you are risking having Halak play back to back days, which they don't want to do.

 

[SLAPSHOT723]

Nothing newsworthy. With our three-headed goalie monster and him playing so much, it makes sense (given the circumstances) to have Berube backup instead of Halak.

Means Nothing....resting him in a back to back and our 3rd goalie sits on bench and watches instead of Halak. Not a Big Deal! Would expect Snow to try and deal Halak at the Trade deadline...unless he gets the offer he can not refuse.

Could be a trade, got to think the Islanders do a shakeup soon, why not trade a goalie who can get them something decent back?

Supposedly Snow was shopping him and couldn't find much of a return, if any.

Maybe to 'send a message', but I could be wrong....

 

[THall4]

Why are the Islander carrying 3 goalies...is Berube that good that they are afraid of losing him?

 

[RandallRitchey]

Pretty sure this thread was made yesterday..... The day Halak was a healthy scratch.
