Islanders 4*, Predators 3 (*SO): Streit saves the day, Martin debuts with 2 assists

in New York Islanders Game Recaps
Email
PrintIn one of their smarter, grittier shifts of the night, the Islanders executed a 6-on-4 in the final minute of the game to salvage at least a point and a shot at more. Frans Nielsen and John Tavares converted shootout attempts to seal a feel-good night.
Game Sum. | Event Sum. | Corsi | Recaps: nhl.com | Isles | OTF
In ending a seven-game regulation losing streak, the Islanders had their lulls, plus at least two bad mistakes that led to goals. But Rob Schremp Hockey and AHL call-ups Jesse Joensuu and Matt Martin provided enough of a spark -- and the defense improbably provided all the offense -- to get the Isles to the domain of Frans the Automatic Dane and his trusty backhand deke.
Sure it took a two-man (goalie pulled) advantage for Streit to tie the game at 3-3 with 11 seconds left. But that shift was textbook smart hockey: Matt Martin crashing the net, chopping away. Martin, Andrew MacDonald and others overloading the boards to make sure the Preds didn't clear it out to kill the game. Martin retrieving the puck from that overload, then calmly feeding a wide-open Streit at the opposite point. Nielsen providing a perfect screen for Streit's shot. And just for good measure? If Streit's shot had not gone in, there was Martin beating his man to the net for the rebound.
Not a bad NHL debut for the kid. Not bad at all.
Game Highlights
The Two Big Mistakes
First Predators goal: Martin Biron, who fought a couple of long shots, made the mistake of reaching across his body with his trapper to try to catch a stick-side shot. Predictably, he couldn't hold on to it, the puck popped in the air, Nielsen arrived to sweep the puck away from the crease -- only to have Cal O'Reilly bang it home from a right-place right-time position.
Second Predators goal: At the end of a long shift, during the second period when the route to the bench is longer, Andy Sutton and Bruno Gervais advanced the puck enough to get that change. Jon Sim failed to get the puck in deep at the Predators blueline, and the Preds responded with an uncontested breakaway goal by Joel Ward. Sutton the angry Hulk destroyed his stick on the crossbar afterward, thankfully showing better accuracy than Keith Ballard.
Sim did not see the ice again after this shift. Injury, or doghouse?
The Lovely Parts
There was Martin's debut mentioned above, but also: Rob Schremp making a great feed to Freddy Meyer in the high slot, who threw all his body into the shot to blast it past Pekka Rinne.
Later, on the powerplay, Schremp used a Martin screen to get a shot on, which Martin redirected to Gervais, who banged it into the corner of the net. Martin looked right at home standing in front of the net on the powerplay. What's that? You say the Islanders could use a little more of that?
Mark Streit, in "just" 21:45, looked like the Streit of last season. There was the tying goal with a sniper-perfect corner, but there was also a lot of rushes in regulation and OT that disrupted the Predators' coverage.
Andrew MacDonald: An Aucoin-like 28:35. That's right, twenty-eight thirty-five. That includes over nine minutes of special teams duty, including 5:20 on the powerplay.
Speaking of special teams: So they were both two-man advantages (one with the goalie pulled), but hey, two powerplay goals is two powerplay goals. We'll take it.
Three Stars: Really? John Tavares as first star just because of the shootout goal? He had some nice chances, hit his traditional post -- but he also had some ugly turnovers. Meanwhile, Martin and Schremp each picked up significant assists.
Up Next
Back-to-back, Wednesday night in snowy Pittsburgh. Doug Weight will play, so someone will come out of the lineup. Sim, the goat on the second goal, played 5:59 in eight shifts tonight.
Meanwhile, Biron played two games for Bridgeport last weekend, plus his first NHL start since Dec. 27 tonight. He's not starting in Pittsburgh, but will he get a couple more looks? Is this the home stretch for the Biron Trade Showcase Sweepstakes? Kari Lehtonen was already traded from Atlanta to Dallas tonight, so one goalie domino has already fallen.

I hope I wind up eating my words
I’ve been a staunch advocate of Martin not getting the call this year and spending the entire season in Bridgeport. But if he continues with performances like tonight’s, I will fully admit I was wrong and wrong in a good way. Terrific debutant performance for the kid, congrats and hopefully his parents will be able to dig out of the snow in Windsor and get to an NHL game of his in the near future.
Lehtonen to Dallas is interesting. Who else would be in the Biron market right now?
To fight the horde, sing and cry: Valhalla I am coming!
Thing is, I don’t think it’s ever a bad policy to keep a kid in Bridgeport all year — although I’d argue a cup of coffee or a down the stretch look in the NHL doesn’t hurt. Who knows though; odds are his performance will plateau as he adjusts, and he’ll get more seasoning. At least during the Olympic break anyway.
With Biron, does Philly dare go there? Ray Emery might have a torn labrum in his hip. Lehtonen’s arrival probably pushes Turco to the market. Gauthier’s promotion in Montreal supposedly means both Halak and Price stay for now. I find it hard to believe that Chicago would look at Biron this year and see him as the answer to their Huet question. Hard to picture an ideal fit unless a GM loves Biron or just wants a little depth.
Lighthouse Hockey: Under contract through 2021, knees and hips be damned.
The problem with Chicago in the Biron market is they are getting equal or better performance out of Niemi as they are out of Huet for roughly 5 mil less, so Biron wouldn’t really clear that situation up. Ottawa maybe? LeClaire is notoriously injury prone and not playing well this year.

That’s right, Ottawa could easily be in the mix. I sure hope someone bites; I want that free asset, whatever it is.
Lighthouse Hockey: Under contract through 2021, knees and hips be damned.
Ottawa, Washington, Pittsburgh
Ottawa has no third rounder but does have an extra second rounder from SJ.
The Cupboard is Biron
Marty has had his share of bad luck this year, but he’s also contributed his share of shakey goaltending. If I’m a GM I’m not buying Biron in this market unless it’s purely a depth need where a gap exists between a very good netminder, and zilch.
Too many other netminders available… that can catch a 30 foot snap shot without it bouncing to the top of the net.
I’m guessing that Rolly might be in some of the player shuffle calls and texts passing through Snow’s Blackberry. If the right offer comes along, at least biron has a W under his chest protector now.
Agreed
For all of Biron’s lack of goal support, his save percentage has been poor (by an even greater degree on the PK) and if I were scouting him all year long, I wouldn’t be impressed: Short-side goals and an unsettling amount of flopping in the crease. But he has his believers…hopefully they’re out there with some sort of payment in hand.
Lighthouse Hockey: Under contract through 2021, knees and hips be damned.
The thing is he's the exact type of player they are missing this year...
someone who parks in front of the net, finishes his checks, and can mix it up. No he’s not ready, but I don’t think time in the AHL does all that much good (as compared to getting time in the NHL). I mean how many players have we seen get their time and fully dominate in the AHL and then never be able to adjust to the NHL. If he’s getting the minutes I think staying up will be better off long term for Martin.
Its a good thing they won… Id be afraid to be around Andy Sutton if they had lost that game.
Hey- maybe thats exactly what they needed lol!
Let Us Go, Islanders! (Ever notice how strange that sounds without the contraction?)
Strategic tantrum? Probably couldn’t hurt. Sim appears to have received extreme doghouse treatment for that turnover, unless he blew a tire on his way back.
Lighthouse Hockey: Under contract through 2021, knees and hips be damned.
Sim-posing-um
[unrelated] I just read through the game thread… great work.
This is why TV/Hockey don’t always go together. At first I was sure Sutton was pissed at Streit. It’s the long change period, Sutton was calling for a change and he’s on the ice with Bruno, so his change must have been Streit… who probably wasn’t paying attention…
But then Sim disappears…. i never caught that it was Sim who didn’t get it deep. I’d hate to think that one thing put Sim on the bench for the rest of the game… after what Gordo did to the guy last year, and as hard as he’s worked since he’s been an Islander… If it was me, I’d give the chowdah head a piece of my mind… and that’s reason 473 why I’m not a professional athlete.
That’s going to be worth watching. It’s certainly not an uncommon mistake, so benching outright would seem like an extreme response. So then in the back of my mind I wonder if there was any verbal back-and-forth? All speculative, but you wonder…
Lighthouse Hockey: Under contract through 2021, knees and hips be damned.
Jibber Jabber Whacky
Most likely Sim’s mouth and not his effort or ability is going to get him in trouble. Supposedly the guy is pretty funny… but a tad inappropriate. (I am looking in the mirror… and thinking of all the people I’ve pissed off in my life… aaah SCREW EM).
It was probably his mouth last year that kept him at Bridgeport when they really could have used him.
What I don’t understand is the fans’ hatred of the guy. Maybe I just see a lot of myself in him… but he’s been a favorite of mine this year.
(I am looking in the mirror… and thinking of all the people I’ve pissed off in my life… aaah SCREW EM).
LOL!!!!!!
I think the Sim hate has died down big-time this season, really.

you’re probably right. there’s two different ways to look at it. There are a lot less Sim comments, but the majority are still negative.
Expectations vs. performance
I think so often these situations come down to expectations vs. performance. Some seem bothered by his contract — which wasn’t his “fault,” and was hardly some vast overpayment, and ignores that his first season-and-a-half was submarined by an awful knee injury. Some look at his prior presence on the powerplay — which is criticism that should be directed at Gordon, not Sim (and in fact Sim did get some PP goals).
Neither of these things relate to what Sim is. As far as Sim’s capabilities, he’s delivered. Now his time as a stopgap may be nearing an end. (Now the “bad apple” stuff last year is another matter…)
Lighthouse Hockey: Under contract through 2021, knees and hips be damned.
Beanpot Trots...
well said. I posted something very similar to that on NYIPB when the question was thrown out about which pending UFA’s might be back. Sim has delivered the highest return for his “role”.
I’m pretty sure they’re done with him, especially after last night. I have a feeling the interchange went something like this…
SG: Simmer… what the hell was that. You know you gotta chip that one in.
JS: Thought I had room…
SG: Well you didn’t… and that one cost us.
JS: Like you would know.. "My name is Gordon, and they call me flash… I think I’m a coach… but I’m just a pain in the ass… I got my job, cause I’m a chowdah head… I kept Nate around cause he was good in bed! "
SG: I hope you enjoy that spot asshole…
Matt Martin
The black and blue M&M (Moulson is the Gold M&M)… is well on his way to being my favorite Islander. That spot is currently held by Kyle “The Beast” Okposo, but he opened the door the night he skated away from Tavares’ swimming chiclets.
last year as a Barnacle of Sarnia Botta did a little write up on him, and all I could think of was Scatchard. Scatch was one of my new millenium favorites. This guy is going to be special… let’s hope they give him the correct path… and I don’t fathom to know what that is right now… but I definitly enjoyed watching the first step.
I liked Martin
especially in front on the PP, I think he can make some difference on the overall PP. I would like to see Weight off the point the next PP he is on, just for a different look.

finally
It took the D scoring to win it. I hope this opens up the forwards some in the next few games. we need at least 4 more points out of the possible 6 before the break

If they deal Rolo, then you can really say the Islanders will fully tanked the season from that point on.
Biron did not look that good tonight. On that shift change breakaway, he looked bad when the Pred player went 5 hole. And did you see him get psyched out in the shootout when the team needed him to make a stop to end the game. And after Taveras got us the go ahead, the next Pred player almost scored as the puck skided towards the goal line.
Rick DP is back from injuries, Great. He looks like a rookie all ovr again, making bad decisions leading to other teams goals. Lets take the pressure off him til next season.
Rolo is best when playing constantly. Let him carry the burden, giving him every 4th game off so DP can get in a few.
Odd man out is Biron.
Change at Woodside for the old Shea Stadium station! Lets Go!
Um I think they have already fully tanked the season (and if not should...
this team is not going anywhere this year. Even on the off chance they made the playoffs they would probably have to play Washington and get dismantled, not the growing experience everyone thinks it will be, I actually think it could do more damage than good.
Toronto is hot and motivated if trends continue they will wind up falling back one more spot into the bottom 3 (hopefully Fowler, but Hall, or Seguine would be great too) Rolo will bring back way more.
Biron is just rusty, I would actually look to resign him if Rolies dealt.
Biron is just rusty,
I wish that were so, but I’m unconvinced.
BTW, Strang said Biron stayed behind to practice and wouldn’t be on the trip to Pittsburgh.
Lighthouse Hockey: Under contract through 2021, knees and hips be damned.
agree
Even if we won all three remaining games before the break (all against current playoff teams that are playing well) we would still only have 62 points. We will have 20 games after the break, mostly against playoff teams or contenders. Even if we won 15, we would still be just barely competitive for a playoff spot. Don’t know that Toronto will catch us but Carolina may well do so. A number three overall finish is not unrealistic…unless this team really surges.
I’ve always thought the Islanders would definitely trade Biron. But at this point I don’t think there’s going to be much interest in him.
It’s possible they trade Rollie and re-sign Biron (Or even call up Lawson/Munroe) to be backup next season.
Lawson and Munroe are both near the top of the AHL in SV%.

Meanwhile
Kevin Poulin named QMJHL Defensive Player of the Week for the second time this season.
Lighthouse Hockey: Under contract through 2021, knees and hips be damned.
I thought it was 8-10 at the time of the injury seems (late October)...
which makes me think he should be back soon.
It makes you wonder if the Islanders will set up a GOALIE STAND next to Montreal’s. This is one of the reasons why DiPietro’s contract may be even dumber than Yashin’s.
It’s great to have 8+ goaltenders in your system (DP, Rolly, Marty, Lawson, Munroe, Koskinen, Poulin and Ridderwall) But you’re just going to lose them all because they will mature and sign elsewhere. This is why Wang needed somebody smarter than he was, and with foresight by his side at that moment… and not a group of YES MEN.
You gotta give Patty a lot of credit for walking away from that situation… and I think Wang needs Garth now more than Snow needs Wang (hmm… there’s gotta be a punchline in there somewhere…) So I don’t see a whole lot of 10 year contracts for middling performers anymore.
Snow, Wang and the Seven...teen...
Thanks…sorry… I usually forget Happy as well… even though I know there are 7 dwarves… jeez, it’s in the freakin’ title!
Lawson and Munroe though cost the Islanders nothing, and if they get rid of them for anything its a positive.
Neither of them were drafted, Lawson fought his way up from the ECHL, while Munroe went undrafted after some good College seasons. I can’t understand why the Flyers let him go after a .926 SV% last year and he’s matched that with a .923 so far this year.
I think the best example I can give is all the potential of the Devils backups over the years. Although most of the trades ended up not producing anything, it still tended to give the Devils extra 2nd or 3rd rounders and usually a throw in late round pick. Schwab, Terrei, and a few other no names got the Devils basically something for nothing.
"Martin is psychical" - In reference to Matt Martin being called up to the Islanders.
would not trade Roly unless we got a first rounder out of it
and I doubt we will. Get what you can for Biron and move on.

Change at Woodside for the old Shea Stadium station! Lets Go!
more kids
Martin looked very good, didn’t really notice Joensuu on the 4th line. Luck finally changed. Time to see what the team will look like without Sim and Park and, even Weight. Too many teams to jump over to fall into the lunacy of playing “veterans” (who haven’t stopped scoring like some of the kids, since they never actually started in the first place) to stumble to the 8th spot. I would rather see meaningful time for the kids INCLUDING TAMBELLINI, whose handling is the primary reason that I do not believe in Gordon.
I want size and speed and tenacity.
I also want Okposo back from wherever he has been kidnapped and hidden.
Once he can get past this post thing, Tavares seems poised for a nice little run. Although he still is a little weak on the puck, his decisions are improving and his creativity is emerging. Put him with Moulson and Okposo and leave them alone for the rest of the year.
Biron again tonite. Play him until he loses.
Good on Freddy IV, he gives his all every shift.
Anyone imagine when the season started how much we would miss Jack Hillen? Maybe this scouting staff really does know what they’re doing.
Joensmooth
I’m not sure whether you’re talking about hte third period, or the whole game, but JJ had a terrific game. He was a part of every shift. I was really looking forward to Martin’s debut, and he did not disappoint, but if I had to choose one of those guys to stick with the big club right now it would be Jesse. Hopefully it will be both…. I’d say that Martin is more physically mature now than Bailey was last year, but he probably would be given the rest of the year at the AHL level with a deeper club…maybe even next year as well.
You’re right, JJ had a great game. He went to the net, shot the puck, he even skated the best I’ve seen him in a while. He’s going to be a good player, I liken him to a bigger slightly slower version of Sean Bergenheim.
bq.I’d say that Martin is more physically mature now than Bailey was last year
Well, he’s also a year older than Bailey was last year.

I didn’t mean that to be a negative on Bailey. My point is that I feel that Josh was rushed… still do. You wouldn’t have seen Bailey last year, or this year, on a deeper more talented team. Martin should benefit from a deeper, more talented, roster.
He was “playing his game” last night… and that almost got him in his first scrap with Weber. It’s great to see that, but I’m not sure any of us would be too happy with the results. Cooler heads prevailed… but if he sticks he’s going to get in a lot of those situations and I’m not sure THAT SIDE of his game is ready for prime time.
Martin's size
Did you guys hear on the broadcast how Martin’s pop and brother are both 245 lbs.? Interesting…
Lighthouse Hockey: Under contract through 2021, knees and hips be damned.
Do you guys remember
The “Official Website” (which sucks far worse this year than last) used to do an “in the system” section that would give you updates on monthly numbers for the kids in college and minors (could have been weekly, I cant remember). Also, they never update the weight of the kids as they grow. Bailey and Okposo are still listed at their draft weights.
Is that to protect them, or to be deceptive or is it just laziness? I noticed during world juniors that Hamonic’s weight varied from a few different places, but was about 20lbs heavier than the Isles website listed them. I hate their site!
by Keith Quinn on Feb 10, 2010 10:59 AM EST up reply actions
I suspect it’s low priority. A lot of the NHL sites are like this in terms of updating weights after the draft. It sucks. They should at least update the stats after each training camp.
Lighthouse Hockey: Under contract through 2021, knees and hips be damned.
WANG... A TANDY COMPANY
Their site has become like what your neighborhood Radio Shack used to be. If you go in there to buy a battery they want your name, address and telephone number. As a former “shacky” I can’t tell you how many of my neighbors got RS fliers sent to Mike Hunt, Amanda Huggenkiss and Jess Shadahfukup.
Every time I click on something it asks me for my email address… You’d think the former CEO of one of the largest software companies in the world would know how to get that info without asking… I mean, there’s a dweeb at Overstock.com that can scrape your mothers blood type off your system every time you hit their site to look for refurbished tennis balls.
Haha!
Seriously, this is true. Even with the goal song vote, you couldn’t vote without giving info. And every piece of news on there is geared to get you to buy ticket packages or participate in events. Maybe if they made the site worth visiting, they would have more traffic equaling more people to buy…just a thought, again, improve the product…
by Keith Quinn on Feb 10, 2010 11:19 AM EST up reply actions
I used to use Tommy Nakajima myself.
Is the site like that? That’s funny, I’ve been really happy with this year’s redesign — much cleaner, smoother. But I really only go there for the stats and video clips, plus the “Authorized” updates. I have noticed polls like the goal song annoyingly demanded info, but usually anything that requires my name and social is completely irrelevant to me. I guess I’m just so used to avoiding marketing stuff I hardly notice it.
Lighthouse Hockey: Under contract through 2021, knees and hips be damned.
Didn’t the NHL take over the teams official websites? I remember the Dolans were fighting this tooth and nail a few years ago and took the league to court over it. If so I wouldn’t be surprised that the team sites don’t get much updates.

They took over the template
Forcing everyone to comply with certain standard templates. The Rangers used a different template, but also they wanted control over merchandising through the site, whereas the NHL wanted everyone to align on that (presumably with shop.nhl.com, but I don’t know).

Matty Milkshake
From the looks of him he might be able to carry 10 to 15 more… (from 205, not the press guides 195). Again, a lot of that is stuff that nobody but Matt and his dietician can speculate on, but he doesn’t seem to have the frame to carry 230+ on skates… well.. and be effective.
… and I wonder what other “fun facts” about the Martin clan Jaffe left in his bag. Do they have one kid in the circus? Does Mrs. Martin hold the record for most gold fish swallowed while skating? Are they descendants of the 12 Toe Martins from the Scottish highlands?
Ha, yes I don’t mean to imply he should play at 230+! Just that he looks like he can carry more, says he plans to carry more by next training camp, and we may have a beast on our hands.
Regarding other trivia, I hear he was once in a Turkish prison. /Airplane!

taveras
he makes some rookie mistakes passing the puck softly to the middle, but he will get better at that. He missed on a few hard passes from MacDonald but hopefully he will start looking for those passes from that kid.
I think we need to let the Pkposo, taveras, Moulson line play together again, and leave on a line for a few games
Tavares
Im admittedly a bit of a stickler in regard to spelling, but I think we all need to learn his name lol.

Shout out for Trent
I think Hunter looked a lot sharper than he did for the last few games – all I can remember him doing in Tampa was dumping the puck in for a line change, but last night he seemed to do a fine job of keeping up offensive pressure even if he didn’t create too many chances.
Biron
Where he goes depends on what happens with Marty Turco. I see Philadelphia and Chicago as the two clubs with the most need of a “reliable” backup goalie right now.
I think the Stars would love to trade Turco to the East and maybe get something for a player who they really do not want to sign for next year anymore, and I believe that Philadelphia is not 110% confident in Ray Emery anymore. Ottawa and Pittsburgh don’t need a backup goalie at the minute.
I still say’s Sutton’s reaction turned the game around. I wouldn’t have got in his way if the Isles lost. Good game to watch though, Isles overcame adversity when they needed to.
It's always a great day or night for hockey - no matter the time or place!
Philly maybe, Chicago, no. Like I said above, Biron or Turco would just complicate matters for the Hawks. Niemi has taken over as starter for roughly 5 mil less than Huet, so why would the Hawks bring in another veteran keeper to ride the pine?
