Well, that’s a way to get the game started. Unfortunately, it may be the most excitement we see all game.

I likey.
Also likey: Frans Nielsen.

“If I’m the Islanders, I allow Danis to handle the puck a little bit. See if we have good hands or bad hands tonight.”
Heh, yes.

Little high hit behind the net. I don’t know if it’s because there aren’t many Czech defensemen, or there’s something about him, or I’m just tuned to it, but it seems the times mild-mannered Martinek shows the most fire is when a fellow Czech is messing with him.

Quiet night ‘round here, and I gotta run. Will be checkin’ back much, much later.

Need the win tonight, without Kolyachuk playing Saturday that should be another win. Then the Isles have a 7 game road trip. It’ll be interesting to see how they do away from home for so long.

Sounds like it was a weak goal on Biron. And to top it off the PP does nothing. After being the only way we scored in the beginning of the year the PP has been flat.

The Isles still haven’t come back after trailing going into the 3rd. Even if they lose, I’d be happy if they at least even it up.

The first game I ever saw live was a Devils playoff game back in 92 or so. My dads company owned a piece of the Devs so we used to get tickets all the time. We were cheering for the Devs all night, and there was this goalie in the other net he seemed to have every bit of luck. He was flopping this way and that way and even when he came halfway out the net and started flopping around. At some point the Devs let in a goal, but we figured no big deal. At some point the goalie was going to be flopping and a puck would go in. It never happened as the opposing goalie seemed to have every inch of luck humanly possible. So as we left, me and my friend were talking about him and how he’d have no future in the NHL. BTW, the team the Devils were playing? The Sabres. The Goalie? Dominik Hasek.

Anyone else happy that Columbus appears to be failing? at the very least it should cool down some of the talk about KC being a Hockey Market.

Of course theres probably those of you who know the situation a lot better then me and that the failure in Columbus is a different situation then a team moving to KC.

Too many Penalties, another goal let in via a Screen, and a near dead PP. Against Danis the Isles should have known to throw as many shots as possible against him, yet only managed 22 shots on goal. A very winnable game against a good team. If Broduer was in net I’d be happy they kept it 2-1, but with Danis I expected a win tonight.
