GDT: R1:G1 | New York Islanders @ Carolina Hurricanes | April 20th | 5 PM | F/L 3-1

A billion reasons why the Engvall contract is a n embarrassing joke, but the top of the list is that there’s nothing he can do that AHL players, like Maclean, can’t.

 

[Bones45]

Special teams will kill us

Def.

 

[seafoam]

Def.

Can’t suck at special teams if you never go on them.

 

[scottywiper]

Problem is teams will dive and take liberties defensively as they know they can't lose

Nah. Just facts.


*And amazing movie.

 

[FourRings]

Going as expected. Even 5v5, lopsided on special teams.

 

[CupHolders]

Not excusing Isles PP… but Carolina is just legitimately great at PK.

 

[heatedskates]

We didn’t even set up on the PP. Anytime we get a power-play, winning the initial face off will be huge

If we don't out hustle and out skate them on the pp until setup we are toast. Our wings were floating.

Isles should take notes.

Jarvis is 22 years old but looks like a 38 year old whos been divorced twice, rides a motorcycle, and plays in a cover rock band on the weekends

 

[periferal]

Some ugly giveaways. So frustrating. Just don’t beat yourselves.

22? Like the kid with the beard that drives himself to peewee hockey games.

He’s played better lately I’ll grant him that but I’d flip him in the offseason in a heartbeat if there was a taker.

He’s got way too much of a track record for me to think he’s anything other than a floater who’s not built for the playoffs. A leopard doesn’t change his spots or in his case a giraffe doesn’t either.

 

[heatedskates]

One thing Carolina does well is every icing they get the Puck down to the dot asap. The want it dropped. Well coached.

 

[seafoam]

They need to match them man for man on these battles where they swarm the puck carrier.

 

[Nassau Revisited]

Need to get out of this period tied

 

[SI90]

These icings gotta stop

 

[PWJunior]

Pelech needs to get his head out of his ass. Wake up man.

 

[Zeeker]

Pelech has two modes. failed clears and unecessary icings

 

[Nassau Revisited]

Barzal seems off so far, Throttle must be so happy.

 

[steveat]

Did you guys take your dump today?

 

[Throttle]

Not excusing Isles PP… but Carolina is just legitimately great at PK.

One guy put himself and his teammate offsides, next he passes the puck into his teammates skate. Both cost about a 1 minute of time. The isles execution ain’t so hot either.

reminds me of Denis Lemieux goalie from Slapshot

 

[PWJunior]

Carolina are p***yes, they don't want to play a real physical game. Their fake tough shit works when you have hometown refs like this Rank fellow.

 

[The Real JT]

Is there a record for most icings in a period?
