Jumbo that's it

Lol, that's an embarrassment. Ah well

I admittedly haven't watched every Tavares' games with the Islanders, but I feel fairly safe in saying this was one of the top 3 worst games of his career.

Yeah, maybe. I don't think vesey will go on waivers before Elliotte Freidman's "written on a piece of paper" super trade deadline acquisition, though.

Confirmation bias and selective statistics really have a big impact on how someone views a player. High skill players often have giveways because they don't play a simple game. They're trying to create, and that takes risk. Marner doesn't lead the team in points because he's giving the puck away...

No worries man. I totally understand the club has been under-performing vs expectations for what seems like forever; so the frustration is understandable; it's just that the team is doing pretty well this year, and a loss here and there is expected, especially with the tight schedule, so cherry...

Definitely an interesting situation. I like Engvall a lot more than Vesey, and I'd imagine they'd like to keep him to potentially expose to seattle. I'd think there'd be at least a couple teams with interest if they gambled on him clearing waivers at some point.

I would. It was beyond obvious that thornton wasn't keeping up with M&M on line rushes. He simply can't play the game at the pace that the other two play at. The idea that he's an upgrade over Hyman is simply ludicrous. I don't know what Keefe was thinking putting him on the top line. I...

I was excited about the acquisition, but after watching him play, I've very, very pessimistic about Thornton playing a top 6 role.

I think the narrative that he's been terrible is as about as accurate as the idea that his lack of production is because it's tavares' fault. He's a talented, but not elite, 6.9M player, who like all players, occasionally plays at a level above that cap hit, and occasionally below. The only...

Marner Matthews

Ah well, classic case of needing to bury the chances they got early. Still, would have liked to see more shots and leafs in the crease. It's got to more more than Simmonds and Hyman.

Also, surprising to me at least, Bogosian is proving to be far more serviceable than I had expected. I was thinking he'd be sort of Polak on an average to good day, but he's been very dependable.

He completely shut the door in the rest of the 1st and 2nd, and the 2nd goal was just bouncing everywhere off of bad clearing attempts. I don't think the team owed him anything. He played really well.

Holl Hyman Reaaaally wanted to vote for Mikeyev as well.

There's the patented hyman empty netter. He deserves a goal regardless. Great play by matthews

tigre de papier

Andersen was really solid on some tough shots that period. Holl is making a good case for motm.

I miss Simmonds already.

The 4th line has been the best so far.
