Islanders-Hurricanes [open game thread]

Carolina Hurricanes at New York Islanders, Oct 21, 2009 7:00 PM EDT

Carolina Hurricanes (2-4-1, 4th/SE) at New York Islanders (0-3-3, 5th/Atl)

7 p.m. | Nassau [gloriously unsponsored] Veterans Mem. Coliseum | MSG+

Canes visitor "Raccoon Fink" gets a nod for providing us with an updated crest image for his franchise of choice in the game preview. I pledge to put it to use next time, but tonight the nod to history must continue -- particularly in honor of the NHL finally making Whalers jerseys available again.

I appreciated Fink's gesture in all its spirit; but in case there are any overly sensitive Canes fans drifting by, know this: Not all who respect the Whale hate your kind -- a pawn in the NHL's franchise shuffleboard game like any other fanbase. Believe it or not, some of us just love hockey.

Doug Weight is supposedly healthy enough to play, so we should be spared a Jon Sim appearance on the first line. Other than that, your as-yet-winless game thread begins now...

As long as Okposo is there to win the faceoff for his centre I don’t see the problem. In the playoffs last season I was convinces that the officials didn’t want Zeterburg to take any faceoffs.

I would like to add my typical even keel position..but… you’re right mostly. lol. I do like Sim..etc. etc. You gotta give them a shot I suppose, you can’t replace heart and smarts. I’m the biggest Richard Park fan out there, lol.

by albeezle on Oct 21, 2009 8:48 PM EDT up reply actions

Probably because Schremp is not terribly fast. This is part of why Rob Schremp Hockey™ doesn’t work that well 5-on-5 in the NHL. Defensemen are smarter and faster, so they can keep up without too much sweat.

by zytsef on Oct 21, 2009 8:50 PM EDT up reply actions

I’m not that big of a Schremp fan anymore. But I’m willing to give him his shot. We have some quality on this team now, so we just need to take our time and feel it out.

He can go to Bridgeport. Injury rehab assignment and all that. Not sure if there’s a time limit on it once it starts, though.

Conditioning stints never require waivers. I believe they are limited to a certain number of games or period of time. Don’t know that number off the top of my head. As I understand it Ricky’s not quite ready to play real games, though.

Hillen

I like his willingness to rush the puck into the zone. He or they haven’t figured out what to do with it afterwards yet, but I like that he’s got the vision for the first step.

The Good and Bad

The Good – Multiple goals from non 1st Liners
PK was 3 for 4
Roloson stopped a shootout chance
Roloson looked sharp, two of the three goals he had no chance on.
Faceoffs finished 44-20

The Bad – PP was 0 for 3 (Carolina came in 24-25 on the PK though)
Another bad 3rd we were outshot 10-6
Tavares Line gets its first minus of the year.
Too many missed quality chances.
