PrintPhoenix Coyotes at New York Islanders, Mar 8, 2009 3:00 PM EDT
Continuing the season of farm call-ups, Kurtis McLean -- who impressed in his two-game call-up earlier this season -- is in for Trent Hunter. At 28, McLean's know kid, but the late bloomer brings all the enthusiasm of youth.
Phoenix Coyotes (28-32-5, 25th) at New York Islanders (21-37-7, 30th)
3 p.m. E-Daylight-T | Nassau [gloriously not-dot-com'd] Coliseum | MSG+

Five For Howling
Quoth OdinMercer in his game preview:
“Normally I’d say this would be a boring game, but the Isles just beat the Devils 7-2 yesterday and a couple days ago we put down the Bruins, so it could be a good game if those same teams show up.”
Indeed. Suppose it depends on whether anyone hit the city last night.

At the game, most likely. So far, home games are particularly light ’round these parts.

Ditto
We have one guy in greece watching our games who’s there, but rest of us are at the game.

They just stretched the D out on the transition. Nice wide passing play.
Oh, hi Thomas Pock. Missed you so.
Lighthouse Hockey: SBN's New York Islanders blog with hip issues.
5-on-3 for Phoenix
This now-slow 1st period could end darlkly here. Two minutes left, long 5-on-3.
Lighthouse Hockey: SBN's New York Islanders blog with hip issues.
not against us
we can make a 5 on 3 look like a PP for our opponents LOL good kill!
Takin over the NHL, 1 blocked shot at a time... Go Z!

LOL. I see. Yes, it was partly self-killed.
Lighthouse Hockey: SBN's New York Islanders blog with hip issues.
Until we take Jovo off the PP Point
We’ll be killing them for the opponent with regularity.

uh huh
Jovo + PP = PK does he just not have a sense of urgency this season at all?

End of 1st: 1-0 Phoenix
5-on-3 survived. Good PK work there, gents.
Joensuu the Finn named Jesse for 1st-intermission interview.

Tambellini! (?): 1-1
Nice ugly goal by being — what’s that? — why yes, in front of the net.
Lighthouse Hockey: SBN's New York Islanders blog with hip issues.
Damn you Tambie!
LOL good second effort though… just hope he doesn’t get Bergie hot tonight

… and Comeau spins himself to the ice with a botched move.

For a good time, call:
Just checked email and realized Islanders Outsider invited me to join his live blog, so I’ll be doing some Cover It Live chiming in there.
To think, I was going to try to get work done during today’s game! LOL.

LOL. This was supposed to be a quiet game for me!

Bailey! 2-1 Isles
From Iggulden off the rebound.
Ah, youth.
Lighthouse Hockey: SBN's New York Islanders blog with hip issues.
KO for Okposo! 3-1 Isles
Set up by ol’ grizzly McAmmond.

Right before the end of the 2nd, too.

Isles fans reaction to the scoring:
“I have no idea if this is good or bad.”
Conflicted feelings, these.
Lighthouse Hockey: SBN's New York Islanders blog with hip issues.
End of 2nd: 3-1 Isles
Tambellini, Bailey, Okposo — it’s a brave new world.
Lighthouse Hockey: SBN's New York Islanders blog with hip issues.
Game on!
In which these young Isles encounter a third period needing to preserve a two-goal lead.

Turris
Wow, Kyle Turris is listed at 6’1" and only 170 lbs. Feed that boy.

5-on-3 Phx
… and Bad Penalty Bergenheim returns.
Lighthouse Hockey: SBN's New York Islanders blog with hip issues.
Jovo is still out there, so I’m counting on OdinMercer’s pledge that that kills the ’Yotes PP for them.
Lighthouse Hockey: SBN's New York Islanders blog with hip issues.
And now we have a game: 3-2
Play is under review, but it looked like a good goal before the net came off. But bless Hilbert for the effort.
Lighthouse Hockey: SBN's New York Islanders blog with hip issues.
Negated! 3-1 still
Bless the rulebook: Hilbert deflected it in, but his sliding took the net off first. So it goes.

They're still alive
Joensuu draws a 4-minute high-sticking.

Phoenix pulls the goalie
Another late-game 6-on-4 with the Isles hoping for an empty-net shortie.

Danis hits 40-saves again
Career high is tied. May be broken before this is over…
Lighthouse Hockey: SBN's New York Islanders blog with hip issues.
3-2: Sphincters tighten
Just crashing the net and pushing it home. Prucha with the credit?
Lighthouse Hockey: SBN's New York Islanders blog with hip issues.
Final: 3-2 Isles
Coyotes outshoot 42-16. Danis with another win and career-high # of saves. Life getting odd here, but a long road trip may bring things back down to earth.

Meanwhile, in Pittsburgh
Just watched Billy Guerin celebrate pretty hard after helping the Pens to a shootout win over Washington. Good for him. He looks pumped to be playing meaningful games again.
