Oooh, and it’s the Islanders’ home feed, too.

No surprise there. Just great to see Frans Nielsen back. How rusty will he be?

MacDonald belly down in the crease, Park had to come along and help clear it.

That would be a Joey rebound there — his biggest occasional weakness.

Jaffe: “A play like that by Thomas Pock is not going to get him in the good graces of coach Scott Gordon.”

How Pock can be in the good graces at this point, I don’t know. Did Atlanta want Skinner so bad? They wouldn’t take Pock? I’m harsh, but I haven’t seen what keeps Pock in the lineup, other than injuries and him having to pass through waivers.

… puck bounced off the back boards, and Roszival had a chance to pop it in.

I saw him get the outlet, and I thought, “Come on, do your magic.” He made a nice delayed feed to the high slot, but Park got stick-checked.

I think I see why Joey was being slow on those plays. Yikes.

Wow, some jarring ones there with Guerin, Martinek…

Liked the movement, anyway.

Good to see him, sitting next to a fan who is either stoned or pretending not to act like he knows he’s on TV next to Butch Goring.

With Joey getting hurt, it looks likely.

Campoli, baby. Nice pressure.

Jaffe on Lundqvist’s night thus far.

While I was making insta-dinner, I was wondering why “I Always Feel Like Somebody’s Watching Me” came into my head.

… one more Geico commercial later, I get my answer.

Interesting package here. They set it up in, what, an empty restaurant/club section? With Islanders coffee mugs carefully placed on the table in between Snow and Jaffe. Sort of fake casual.

Jaffe in full announcer mode, Snow looking a little bit uncomfortable even. Based on the Q&A content, this is pretty much a chance for Snow to give a state-of-the-club, “Stay the course” speech.

They address the Rick DiPietro issue, to explain and defend their handling.

Oh yeah, during the intermission they said MacDonald suffered a groin strain.

Great drop pass and one-time from Comeau to Okposo there. The Future.

we are getting a solid look at some of our young players, but I feel like I am no closer to any informed opinion on whether “the system” will work or not than I was when the season began

with what, 10 seconds left on the power play?

Just had one each way (Hunter went down, then Dawes went down battling with Pock). Let it flow, let it flow.

1st period: NYI 19, NYR 8

2nd period: NYI 2, NYR 10

Showing him as a young Islander, going end-to-end and splitting Niedermayer and Stevens to score. How many people have that on their reel?

Open it up and Tamby gets a delay of game penalty for backhanding the puck from the top of the crease over the glass.

Sporting killer Islanders stripes tonight. Wonder if I can get away with that tie in my house.

This has been a shockingly unemotional game.

… a goal would change that.

Rose: “This is the most active I’ve seen Brendan Witt in a while.”
Jaffe: “He’s been very involved tonight.”

Oh, the tying goal was on Comeau’s stick. and it bounced, it scooted, D-men’s legs everywhere … they just could not knock it in. Crap.

Comeau had the best chance to tie it at the end.

Rangers fans wanted a call when Zherdev or Drury was pulled down with the goalie pulled.

Butch Goring reported several fights in the stands.

This was a good yet rather unemotional game, for this rivalry. Fairly boring as I’m sure the Rangers prefer it. Dammit.
