It'd be pretty dope if Buffalo sports can do a victory sweep this weekend (Fri, Sat, Sun).

Just stat watching, but the Isles appear to be a bit better than their record. It appears they're in most of the games they lose, even heavily outshooting teams in losses.

They need to bring that intensity because I have to think the Isles will make them work to get to the front of the net.

The good news is we won't have to worry too much about the powerplay short-circuiting and costing them shorties since the league's decided the Islanders get to play with dead puck era rules

I heard Cozens to wing with McCleod and Greenway but are these the other lines for tonight?

I believe those were the lines at practice yesterday.

Today was an optional morning skate, so you can't go off of what they looked like this morning.

@JoeYerdon
Morning skate getting started soon - it’s Hockey Fights Cancer night to kick off November in Buffalo. Zach Benson has rejoined the group.

It’s an optional skate with 11 skaters and both goalies


Going by that data, the Isles are playing much better than their record indicates. Also, 30th in goals saved above expected is dreadful. UPL and/or Levi need to get their heads out of their asses if this team is going anywhere.

If Benson is ready to go- I'd assume they put him in for Quinn.

On paper I actually like the new lines. Now go prove me right!
Ok, I probably just jinxed it. Sorry for that.

The Islanders have played 10 games. They've gotten shutout in 4 and have 22 goals in the other 6 (IE, 3.75 GPG).

Feast or famine team.....that has ONE regulation win this season.......and they're going to be without their best offensive player.

No reason whatsoever to not get at least 1 point tonight.




So we ALL know what's happening -- we're getting creamed 6-0

I feel like we've been better than the Islanders for 3 seasons now, but the Isle still manage to squeeze more points out of every season than us. Also doesn't help that in head to head match ups they've gotten some ridiculously over the top help from the officials.

They're old, slow and unskilled. They turn every game into a clutch and grab grindfest with the intention of making it to overtime. Don't let them get away with it.
