Post-Game Talk: Islanders, 1/31: Rubber Match

[JESSEWENEEDTOCOOK]

For starters, PP time.

Even with that, it feels like his line was on the ice every other shift at ES.

 

[Vickers8]

Yeah, it was. Still incredibly disappointed in his overall game tonight and 85% of the season.

I usually agree with you BB, Cally plays hard every night, just my opinion

 

[Blue Blooded]

Though if we want to #fancystats it, the top line should get more mentions, Kreider-Stepan-Nash flat out dominated possession wise.

 

[SKS]

Felt bad for Brass there.. Came off a great game and had to spend his time talking about how great Zucc is

 

[Machinehead]

Nobody disputes that Callahan plays hard. His production needs to be more consistent.

 

[Vickers8]

Hank was vintage.

Awesome game for Hank, 15 goals against in last 10 games

 

[trilobyte]

Hope Hagelin is ok after that slash from Tavares. He swung that stick to hurt, I don't care how good a player Tavares is. Bush league, shame on him.

Yeah, that was not a tap. That could break an arm.

Doesn't belong on a line with Richie

 

[TheDirtyH]

Wow what a span there at the end. So many great showings tonight. Love that even though he hasn't scored the past two games, Nash still looks dominant--making space for himself, driving hard to the net. Such a great game all around! Hope we can win Tuesday and get past this three win streak mark!

 

[trilobyte]

The thing about Zuccarello is that he will do the absolutely right thing, at the right time, and it is so good.

 

[Vickers8]

Yeah, that was not a tap. That could break an arm.

Gravy got suspended fir the same slash on Mary-o

 

[KenGuru]

thank God the NYR cant trade away Sam Rosen

Nash playing confident now, has been a magician

Enjoyed Sam for 30 years now

 

[trilobyte]

Are you sure?
I would check the trade rumour thread first.

 

[Thunderhead]

King
Brass
Zuc

 

[bmoak]

Why in everything thats unholy does Richards play 6 more minutes than the Brass line, and 4 more mins than Kreider,Nash. Am I missing some big impact they're showing when they arent doing anything ?

Richards usually plays the full 2min on the power play, which inflates his ice time. I thinks he's looked better when he's had less ice time.

 

[HatTrick Swayze]

Pretty much what everyone has said. Zucc, Nash, Boyle, Stralman, Girardi.

But it is especially nice to see the body of work Henrik and Staal have been turning in lately.

 

[DudMan28]

4th line has been good lately. Exactly what you want out of a 4th line. Big questions is, what happens when Dorsett comes back?

 

[trilobyte]

Gravy got suspended fir the same slash on Mary-o

I remember that well, and have seen the replay many times. Similar to John Tavares, I never thought of Graves trying to do something like that, but sometimes it just happens.
Glad that Hagelin is okay, other than his game right now. He is definitely just a bit lost right now.

 

[*Bob Richards*]

I die a little more inside every time Pidto says Jussi Jokinen in that upward infliction.

Dorsett trade bait, Carcillo has energized this line which has played very well

 

[The Gloaming]

This. It's like nails on a chalkboard. Trautwig and Pidto are terrible.

 

[17futurecap]

Three more games, then a three week break, that stinks, and I love Olympic hockey, but the team is playing so well right now, oh well.

Wasn't a visciuos slash by Gravy but got suspended because he slashed the NHL's poster child
