Survivors of the Balsillie Bastardly Bombardment: Five for Howling
For any Phoenix fans: Use of that crest is not a dig. It's a reflection of my enjoyment of the franchise history of any team not on Broadway. And I love the lines in hockey crests. (Speaking of: which Jets logo was better? The newer one always seemed a little too slick for me, though it did fix the very '70s/WHA flavor of its predecessor. But I was a fan of the local flair of the original Coyotes logo -- the new dog is so generic -- so my tastes aren't, uh, commonly shared.)
This is the game thread, same rules as yesterday's game thread. I won't be around though, so party amongst yourselves.
The more you know: Why the separation between preview post and game threads? The theory is that in-game and post-game instant reactions are more anything-goes style, so you're not expected to make as much sense or stay as on topic as in comments for a regular post. Plus, during high volume times, it's definitely helpful to have the in-game comments be their own animal.

P.S.
I’m not “here” tonight, but we’re actually hosting a bunch of family tonight, so if you find me commenting in the game thread, I’m misbehaving — and shame on me.
Let’s go Islanders!

if not mistaken
I belive Meyer is in for Witt, what happens if they do better with wit on bench
witt/meyer
i seriously doubt that meyer will be a significant improvemant over witt. That should in no way be perceived as an endorsement of witts play this year

LOL. It’s a choice of two evils … or weaknesses.

As the season goes on
Our Faceoffs seem to be getting worse.

Anyone looking for streams
Be careful of MyP2P today. Seems like it was hacked or something as my PC crashes when I log onto it.
just go straight to p2pforum.eu that has all the same info, you just need to go through the board.
"So basically, the Stats make no sense whatsoever."
Its on the board where I have the problem
Can’t get into the thread with all the links.
Weird
It’s fine by me, here you go a streamtorrent.

"So basically, the Stats make no sense whatsoever."
Thanks
I just downloaded SpyBot to deal with the problem.
SpySweeper expired on my system and I don’t feel like paying 30 bucks to renew.
Looks like I found some bugs.
First timer here
long time islander fan, found this place a few weeks ago as im starting to get back into hockey…
nice to get back into the game to tie it up.
Hockey
You can try, but you can never leave it for good. ;)
Welcome!
Lighthouse Hockey: Under contract through 2021, knees and hips be damned.
Okposo!
I swear I’m getting his Jersey sometime soon. And JT on the scoring sheet!
"So basically, the Stats make no sense whatsoever."
How bad was the elbow by Jovanovski?
4.53 with fresh ice. Isles need to get a least one.
I’m watching the Eagles-Cowboys, I have the boxscore up for the Islanders game though. So I couldn’t tell you.
"So basically, the Stats make no sense whatsoever."
I'm not watching the game either
but solid last 5 minutes by Isles
My Favorite MacDman
Andy Mac is +2 on the night.
"So basically, the Stats make no sense whatsoever."
I’ve not seen a second except for a little with 91/21/12 together, but Mac at +2 is a nice sign!
Lighthouse Hockey: Under contract through 2021, knees and hips be damned.
any game Witt is not playing is a plus for the Isles
Too bad he’s under contract next year but they can use him as a spare part if someone goes down next season.
KO's goal
Just saw the replay: Nice, JT making that move to the net, taking the elbow, boys playing on and scoring.
Lighthouse Hockey: Under contract through 2021, knees and hips be damned.
By the way
I’d pay a $400 bounty if an Islander leapt the Coyotes bench and took out Ulf’s knee.
Lighthouse Hockey: Under contract through 2021, knees and hips be damned.
That's one of the craziest things I've ever seen in a game
I’m still trying to figure out how that worked.
It's been a continuous one
I guess Tipett didn’t put anyone in the box to start the period.
yeah they were talking about it in the Yote broadcast
and int Samuelsson who admitted they had been stupid in not putting anybody in the box.
Yeah!
Keep taking cheap shots at JT. We’ll keep taking the PPs.
You’d think they’d have scouted and realized JT wasn’t one to worry about right now.
Lighthouse Hockey: Under contract through 2021, knees and hips be damned.
we need to score here..
they’ve been on the powerplay forever it seems
Bailey?
My lord has this kid come on. Wonder if he’s progressed or this is just a strange hot streak.
Nice they took advantage of the situation
Offense is alive and well so far tonight
Phoenix should be well gassed for the remainder of this game
They’ve had nearly 14 minutes short handed.
THe Isles should blow this one out.
Only bad thing...
Rollie always seems to have an off period after a period of not facing many shots.
"So basically, the Stats make no sense whatsoever."
Nice to see JT get a couple of helpers
Hope that gives this talented kid some confidence
It's been sooooo long since the Islanders blew someone else
I would love to see them get 7+ goals tonight.
the key
is to finish strong.. they have a 3 goal lead.. just need to keep at it and finish with a 3 goal lead.
I didn't realize Baily had the other assist
Three points on the night.
That gives him 21 on the year and 4 shy of last seasons totals.
Not to mention last season he was a -25 and is a +10 thus far.
I love that Bailey’s picking it up and proving he’s more then just solid defensive forward. It gives me more faith when Snow is drafting / bringing along prospects.
"So basically, the Stats make no sense whatsoever."
Yeah, gotta give Snow credit
Smart for passing on Filatov and Hodgson.
Hamonic, if he comes along, nullifies Schenn.
Yote cast just did a thing on Tippett
throwback to his Whaler playing days. I guess he always played hurt for fear someone would take his roster spot. At one point, he went hard into the boards thumb first. He noted that the thumb was bent all the way back in the wrong direction. The trainer told him not to look and bent it back into place and taped it.
lead
can they actually hold it? or do i have to keep posting about Taylor Hall?

Cherry gives a lot of love to Schremp tonight on HNIC
Says Scott Gordon has allowed Schremp to be himself and love the game again. Said Dale Hunter messed him up in juniors while playing for London in OHL..
But isn;t that just.....
….what Dale Hunter does to EVERYone who comes to be associated with this team?
That is amazing
I thought Cherry worshiped at the alter of the sore-ass loser Hunter until the grave. And I never thought he’d like a player like Schremp — he’s not even Canadian!
Lighthouse Hockey: Under contract through 2021, knees and hips be damned.
That elbow to Park's face looked suspension worthy
Oh, but that only really matters IF the guy gets a concussion.
agreed
oh boy..
i’m only watching a game cast, do they get lax?
Chance to put them away and they blow it
unacceptable
damn
put biron in,even though last one wasnt rollos fault
by Lakewood Islander on Jan 9, 2010 10:08 PM EST via mobile reply actions
This has nothing to do with choking
The Refs have clearly fucked this one up REALLY bad.
This one is on the Refs. That call on Hillen was BS as was the non call on the elbow to Parks face.
First Thompson and now.....
…..Gervais becomes undisciplined, resulting in goals – ridiculous how predictable this process is becoming!
gervais
he should never pla ever,ever,again

taylor hall
they are so predictable! call time or do some effing thing!
by Lakewood Islander on Jan 9, 2010 10:10 PM EST via mobile reply actions
Not sure how realistic it is to expect a pick that HIGH
We would need to finish in the bottom five and a miracle in the lottery.
We would have to go on a six game losing streak and Carolina a six game win streak just to tie them. After a really crappy December, if we ain’t in it now I doubt it will happen. Will need a massive injury bug the rest ofthe way.
LOL
To be honest, for most of the season I have not really been paying that much attention to Ws and Ls. I was surprised when I read this team was at .500 a few days ago. I didn’t even occur to me to look at the standings in the last month or so.
defensive zone
sloppiness taken to new lows. sg finally called time! sometimes i think he doesnt have a clue
by Lakewood Islander on Jan 9, 2010 10:15 PM EST via mobile reply actions
defense
they dont know how to clear a frigin puck! jt sutton ,ko etc. everybody is a liability on d tonight

Nother OT
Who gets the winner?
If it’s the Isles I’m gonna go with Tavares.
Second pick Streit.
I think the bigger point is: One of these two goalies is gonna get the loss. Which is shit.
Shouldn’t have got to this for Rolo, and Labarbera has been good in relief.
This is one of those games
Where you can definitly blame the refs. Make up calls are bullshit and they had a lot of those.
A young team at heart
I think that’s the reality of it. They don’t know how to follow up a great period with a solid period. A veteran team would come out and know that after the 2nd period the Islanders had, a team at home is going to come out strong and hard in the 3rd. We’re just going to have to live with it till they learn and hope to still get our points.
"So basically, the Stats make no sense whatsoever."
Isles apparently lead NHL in OT games
as noted by Yote casters. they didnt mention it was due to all the blown leads
He really has this shootout thing figured out, doesnt he!
Let Us Go, Islanders!

Theres a lot of former Rags, Don Maloney used to be the Rangers Assistant GM and brought a bunch of guys in when he became the Coyotes GM.
"So basically, the Stats make no sense whatsoever."
Maloney is an ex Isle GM as well
Famous for the terrible Turgeon trade.
and for Drafting Brett Lindros, for not keeping Healy, Theres a laundry list of horrible moves he made.
"So basically, the Stats make no sense whatsoever."
Yup
Folks think Milbury was bad never really lived to see Maloney.
Score here please
Okposo needs to get this one. Use the Wrista!!!!
whew..
its nice to get 2 points.. but come on, it was 4-1..
Here's one:
Labarbera: Shots: 15 Saves: 15 SV%: 100% GAA: 0.0 and the loss.
Imagine reading that and not watching the game.
Absolutely BIZARRE!
Let Us Go, Islanders!

Not a thing of beauty.....
…..but we WERE able to score 12 goals in 3 games – now, if we could only prevent the OTHER teams from potting 11 at the same time!!!!
I can fix that
Lets put Biron in! 1-0 loss for us is almost guarenteed
"So basically, the Stats make no sense whatsoever."
One Win Away
From tieing our win total on the road from last year.
"So basically, the Stats make no sense whatsoever."
actually, with this win we tie it. I forgot I was looking at the stats before this game.
"So basically, the Stats make no sense whatsoever."
That is pretty wild.

that was way harder than it should have been
I’m really questioning Gorden’s coaching. Some of the players he has out there in critical situations make me wonder if he really has a clue. That shorthanded goal on the Isles PP in 3rd is unacceptable. Correct me if I am wrong but was that Meyer playing the PP in 3rd. This was one ugly win but two points is two points.
Bruno’s dopey “not intentional, just not thinking” penalty cost them not one but TWO goals. Its not a coaching thing IMO.
Let Us Go, Islanders!

Next question
Does DP start at home vs Detroit?
I hope that’s not the plan. Ease him in by relieving Roloson on back-to-backs. Unless they think they’re going to use Biron, too; if that’s the case, I’ve no idea how to schedule it.
Lighthouse Hockey: Under contract through 2021, knees and hips be damned.
Biron has to go soon
Call Monroe up from Bridgeport in case either one of the other two gets hurt. Biron should at least get a 3rd or 4th rounder back.
NO.
Let Us Go, Islanders!

What the hell happened?
I just checked in here and there and saw a lot PPs, and goals piling up.
Got to see most of the shootout though, so Bettman should think I was entertained. Matt Moulson for the win, go figure.
Lighthouse Hockey: Under contract through 2021, knees and hips be damned.
The 3rd period choke as usual
Isles let up a early 3rd period shorthander and then the puck became a time bomb. How they escaped with two points is nothing short of a miracle. This team so young and continues to make the same dumb mistakes.
Did Sim get hurt?
Only 8.39 of playing time. Too bad if he did. Sim has been one of the better players as of late.
Interesting Stat
Islanders Goals Scored by Period

"So basically, the Stats make no sense whatsoever."
You can blame that on youth and conditioning
I blame it on the coach and his matcups later in games.
One problem Gorden has is he wears out some of the Isles d-men early on. Seems the Isles lack a defensemen that can log over 25 minutes without breaking down. Witt, Meyer and Gervais all frankly suck but Gorden needs to play the matcup game better. Scott is always outcoached later in games when it really counts.

Honestly I dont think that is Gordons problem, I think that is our Ds problem.

Old news
The last time I saw Milbury he was greeting people at NVMC during a game a few years back, I refused to shake that swines hand or go near him and moved on. Milbury destroyed this franchise and hopefully Snow can put it back together. Two more years cleaning out some of the garbage on this team and they’ll be okay.
I met Mike when he was Isles GM and he was absolutely charming. He really was.

One guy destroyed Europe the other a franchise
Everytime I see Mike on NESN or NBC I want to put my foot through my TV. I know he got delt a bad set of cards in the 90’s but when given the chance to improve the club he failed in a horrible way. He let Wang call the shots instead of having a set of you know what and telling him to let him do his job. He made stupid mistakes like drafting DP to go along with that awful trade with Florida. The rest is too painful to discuss.
Hey the Cowboys ended their 13 year curse tonight without a playoff win
Maybe the Isles can end their 17 year drought. Where is David Volek anyway?
Where's David Volek?
Still telling the story in Czech, only instead of “so Ferarro passes to me,” it goes “So then I stripped Mario Lemieux, dodged a submarine check from Ulf, turned Larry Murphy inside out, and faked Barrasso out of his jock — all while I had a broken hand and dislocated shoulder. After the game Scotty Bowman tells me I was the guy he was worried about all series.”
Seriously though, Arbour told some story that management/ownership had wanted to dump Volek, but Arbour resisted. And so after that game outside the locker room Arbour tells them, “Still want to get rid of Volek?”

1979-80

May 24, 1980: Tonelli to Nystrom. At long last, the steady build of the New York Islanders from expansion doormat to surprise semifinalist to annual contender reaches the promised land: Buoyed by a late season trade for Butch Goring that gave the team the depth up the middle GM Bill Torrey had been seeking, the Islanders knock off the Philadelphia Flyers in six games.
The victory justified the faith in coach Al Arbour who guided them from their second season to their first Stanley Cup seven seasons later. The Islanders would not be the first expansion team to win the Stanley Cup, but they would be the only one capable of a dynasty.
1980-81
Source: Uploaded by user via NYIslanders on Pinterest
May 21, 1981: This time it was much easier. After falling to "only" 91 points in the 1979-80 season, the Islanders returned to their division title tradition, piling up 110 points -- a whole 13 points over second-place Philadelphia.
Between the quarterfinals (where they beat the upstart Oilers in six games) and the finals, the Islanders reeled off eight consecutive wins -- with a four-game sweep of archrival Rangers in between. As they defeated the Minnesota North Stars in five games for their second Cup, their goal difference in the final was a combined +10.
1981-82

May 16, 1982: Another year, another landslide title. The Islanders won the Patrick Division by a whopping 26 points over the second-place Rangers, and were seven points clear of their nearest competition for the President's Trophy, the still-not-quite-ripe Edmonton Oilers.
A first-round scare against the Pittsburgh Penguins turned in the Isles' favor thanks to John Tonelli's heroics, and a true dynasty was on its way: Past the Rangers in six games, then an eight-game sweep of the Quebec Nordiques and Vancouver Canucks to run away with the Stanley Cup.
1982-83
Source: Uploaded by user via NYIslanders on Pinterest
May 17, 1983: Not so fast, whipper-snappers. The Edmonton Oilers' steadily rising challenge for league supremacy took them all the way to the finals for the first time, where the New York Islanders summarily dispatched them in a four-game sweep. For the Islanders, the Dynasty was secured. For the Oilers, it was a powerful lesson in where talent ends and the demands of playoff hockey begin.
Four years, four Cups, 16 consecutive playoff series wins (a record that would grow to 19 until the rematch with the Oilers the following year). Mike Bossy scored 60 goals yet again, and Wayne Gretzky became acquainted with Billy Smith's crease.
