I’m pretty sure Yashin was there tonight. No turtleneck so I was having trouble truly trying to figure out if it was him.

Skarek 45/45 in preseason last three seasons
Maybe he’s a better goalie when he doesn’t have to be superman while playing on a bad Bridgeport team. Knowing you have players playing positions properly can help control your game

I was impressed with Cholowski. Foudy’s got some wheels.
Cholowski has been superb in every game he’s played, a huge transformation. Tough guy to cut

That's because he is an ECHL quality goalie.
But he was with Montreal and they said he’s good. Now NJ has him and Markstrom. That’s going to lead them to the cup and have them run the table with the Jennings because NJ getting Allen = good. The preseason polls said so. They also said that the Isles would finish 6th in the division and that Duclair isn’t going to be anything what he’s showing currently with the Barzal-Horvat duo.

Anomaly. One of those quirky stats that people will talk about.

I’m not sure but I don’t think he’s played an NHL preseason game from start to finish in his 4 years as Islanders property.

We know this. He is however NJ’s current backup behind above average (and severely overhyped) Jacob Markstrom.
Devils goaltending maybe improved by a little, but Keefe’s style isn’t kind to goalies either.

Thinking Markstrom (an average goalie and playoff waif) and Allen (a terrible goalie) are taking the Devils to the promised land, is a bit foolish hype.

They made moves because they had to, but that doesn’t mean they will help elevate the team. Consider me very skeptical.

Welcome to the club. The preseason polls have them and the team of elbows as the top in the division by a large sum. I have a feeling Roy is going to let the top line run wild this year and it all rolls downhill from there. That should easily lead to a better team effort over 60 and substantially improved record. Keefe rolled out his lineup last night minus Jack Hughes and injured players. Nothing they have impressed me one bit. All the young superstar were invisible. Even an AHL line of Karlstrom-MacLean-Dufour looked dangerous vs them.
