Post-Game Talk: Islanders @ Sens Feb. 11. 1 p.m. Eastern. The Afternoon Game Edition

[Langdon Alger]

Man how did we get Pyatt for free

He was a free agent.

 

[Nairbo]

Pageau, EK, Pyatt and Phaneuf have been fantastic this game so far

 

[Langdon Alger]

Pyatt has a lot of energy.

Pageau is fantastic whenever he's given a shutdown assignment.

 

[PeterSidorkiewicz]

It's about time he got some respect around here.

I've been a fan since his first few games here. Great pickup he can play line 3 and PK maybe on a championship depth team he plays on line 4 and can jump around when needed.

 

[Punchbowl]

Outshot 14-5 in the second, outscore the other team 2-0.

The Guy Boucher special

Pyatt has been phenomenal all year. Hasn't gotten the respect he deserves on here, but he's starting to turn heads.

 

[Karl Eriksson]

Pyatt is like a tazmanian devil

 

[jason2020]

I would think Pyatt is going to want a raise and a one way deal.

 

[Punchbowl]

I feel like people have been pretty happy with Pyatt since the beginning of the season, the Tom Pyatt signing thread was pretty positive regarding him in October

He's been one of our most consistent players this season.

Definitely. I think we'll try to bring him back 3 yrs @ 4.5mil total, or something like that. Might not be enough to get it done.

 

[DanyHeatley]

Outshot 14-5 in the second, outscore the other team 2-0.

The Guy Boucher special

The quality of our shots though vs what we gave NYI that period. I'll take those 5 shots any day than their perimeter 14 shots

I think if he gets just over 1 million per and a one way that would be fine for him.

 

[NyQuil]

Powerplays flattered the shot totals.

 

[Sens of Anarchy]

Islanders will need to open it up. Hopefully our 1-2-2 will create some breaks on transition in the 3rd.

You could certainly be right, but as a fan, I would be happy giving him 1.5mil over a few years. I suspect other GMs would be, too. So, the real question is - how committed is Pyatt to the Sens vs how committed is Pyatt to the payday?

We have had more dangerous chances. Best chance for the isles was broken up by that play by Karlsson

 

[Blarginator]

Powerboats flattered the shot totals.

Agreed. Is it even legal to have a boat on the ice? I hope the league looks into it.

Also, Pageau makes every star forward his *****. He must be a nightmare to play against. Even worse when he scores too.

 

[aragorn]

Smith is flying out there & that was a great kill by Pageau & Pyatt.

He got talked into coming back to the Nhl by Guy they see to be close from there Switzerland days.

Boucher also coached Pyatt in Tampa for a couple years before they went to Switzerland.

Don't let the advanced stats community hear you say that.

I would say he is at a point in his career that he won't take a chance on going to a new team with a different system. He is going to stay with Boucher.

I hope so.

BTW, I just worked press on the RTJ show with Gaslamp Killa in Vancouver... it was possibly the best hip hop show I've ever been to. If possible, you need to see them.

 

[Nairbo]

Knock on wood but this game is probably a great confidence booster for Andy. Plenty of shots against but no amazingly quality shots and he hasn't flubbed on something he should have.
