Post-Game Talk: island

[Gordon Bombay]

She got out of her ny jail and botched a hockey game?

It was Woman's Empowerment night last game. Anything is possible now

 

[Mike in Houston]

Buzzkill of a night. Refs completely blew that elbow.

Anyway. I saw the Rangers three times in the last six nights and they went 2-1. Can't really complain.

 

[DanielBrassard]

Why not?

Traded for Larkin

 

[Wtp99]

It was good to see Chara knocked on his ass, made me chuckle
and Barry Beck may have taken on Chara and Martin

 

[bbny]

Starting to trade them real wins for paper wins. Everyone happy?

 

[Reggiet2]

Disagree- we can play a heavy game; we need a goalscorer.

Not really, besides Goodrow, Reaves, Nemeth, & Rooney are pretty much garbage, will get killed by the speed and tenacity of deeper teams like Florida or Carolina. Pittsburg if healthy should beat the Rags in 5 or 6.

 

[TheDirtyH]

I thought we outplayed them pretty soundly from start to finish. Bad reffing and some insane goaltending (especially at the start)...

Vatrano looks like a great fit.

 

[DanielBrassard]

I don't think you guys understand, tob is untouchable.

 

[Daves a mess]

Traded for Larkin

Ahh. K.

 

[DudMan28]

I’d put Brodz on that 3rd line over Hunt. He seems to find space and get a good chance every game

 

[Crease]

I’m pretty positive Kocur26 is Ricky aka DaGoon

 

[IronBloodedLion]

Sorokin was great. Vatrano makes forward Top 6 better. They still need forward help.

 

[PlamsUnlimited]

Sorokin was great. Vatrano makes forward Top 6 better. They still need forward help.

We need another person in the cut of Vatrano. I am not so sure Kakko comes back this season either.

 

[egelband]

I am. Horrible officiating.

Me too. I can be frustrated at the lack of finish and the 2C wearing electric fence when he approaches the net front. As well as calling the officials out.

 

[Cmox]

Why not?

Im assuming the injuries? I think? Can never tell with kocur.

 

[hackeyman]

Bad one to lose.
Worst reffing all year and we seem to have had our share of it since all-star break.
Vatrano looked good.
Could have said Sorokin stole this one if the refs already hadn't.
Reavo delivered some big hits and made his presence known.

 

[mike14]

Also kind of surprised that they bumped everyone down a line rather than putting Vatrano on the 2nd and Hunt on the 4th. Brodz and Chytil looked like they were working well together

 

[Glen Sathers Cigar]

You obstruct so much that refs can’t call them all. Then, because they can’t differentiate between legal and illegal obstruction, they don’t call it at all.

Perfect explanation on how teams like the Islanders and other teams that seem to get away with tons of obstruction all game get away with it.

 

[ReddestRum]

Refs were shit this game, and I rarely ever say that.
Sorokin is a monster.
Laf scored an assist. His cheerleaders are going crazy in his thread.
We are still NOT scoring even strength. This is a really big problem.
Shesty continuing to bail out our even strength woes. It won't last.

 

[egelband]

Here's an idea.

Lafreniere gets a powerplay shift with the talent f***ing once by accident and they combine for a goal.

Strome has to come off PP1. It’s way overdue.

 

[hackeyman]

I didn't see the last goal. Can somebody summarize or share a link?

 

[Tob]

 

[Kords]

I don't think you guys understand, tob is untouchable.

Yes, but what does this have to do with him getting banned!?

 

[PuckLuck3043]

We need another person in the cut of Vatrano. I am not so sure Kakko comes back this season either.

He is supposed to start skating in a week. He will be back for playoffs.

 

[egelband]

My god, if they would just stop trying to make that one extra pass... it's a f***ing plague in this organization.

With Strome traipsing around in the corner, there’s very little use in putting shots on net. No one to get a rebound. It’s my biggest concern with that line and maybe with the team in general.
