GDT: Pre-Season #3 | New York Islanders @ Philadelphia Flyers | September 26 | 7:00 PM | F/L 2-0

Been more good than bad in the three outings. But for lords sake can they cut out the boneheaded mistakes!

 

[Kshahdoo]

Tsyplakov another bad giveaway, nearly cost a goal. Hogberg has looked solid.

I'd say he looked decent overall. Had and created some nice chances offensively.

 

[Big L]

Flyers goalie looked sharp

 

[Top Corner]

Kids are making a good impression

Besides Thiessen, Odelius looks like a player, Gancomb (sp?) with a lot of jump

Odelius Is miles ahead of George right now, he certainly looks close

If Theising continues to develop, he will be on the big club in a few seasons and replace Cizikas.

Agreed. He has been noticeable in a good way. Had a great opportunity tonight to score.

Only caught the first half of the game....the circus was in town so decided i would the Giants. If Islanders were an in season game would have watched.

Hogberg - like what i have seen in these two games he has played. Also nice to see he recognizes that he has a tendency to play a little deep in his net, which i noticed a good bit on the Devils game, and is working on that. Guess he is our best option at #2 if Sorokin i s not ready to go?

From what I saw Tsypkalov should start in the AHL. He's going to be an NHL player, but he needs to make some adjustments wrt how he perceives time and space on the smaller ice. He should play 18 minutes per night in Bridgeport. It would be bad to have him play more than 4th line TOI right now in the NHL. Heck, the best option for the 4th line RW role from what I've seen is Maggio.

The #1 thing I think NYI should be concerned about so far is the Engvall-Nelson-Palmieri line. Right now I'd say put Nelson with Lee and Holmstrom (they look fine), but Nelson also doesn't look good. Also, if I didn't know how McLean played last year, I don't know whether I'd think he should be AHL or ECHL bound.

The first line absolutely oozes athleticism. (I was surprised often enough by Horvat's athleticism last year, but I know better now.) They haven't had athletes together like that on a line since at least the LaFontaine days or before.

Hogberg looks very competent so far. So, that's good.

Give him 4 days, it's not his time yet.

Eh…blacked out.

Seems that was the right move
