Islanders Gameday: Here be late games

Complete Coverage >


It's a bit early, but here's tonight's game thread. Kyle Okposo is out with the proverbial Tank for Ta/ylo/er "upper body injury." Dwayne Roloson is in. Jeff Tambellini too. Yesterday they did some curling, and Blake Comeau led the team who hustled the uninitiated. So reports Newsday's Katie Strang on all the above.

Also: Some dumb column by some button-pusher became bulletin board material, but I can't be too arsed with it: The Canucks are good and probably know how important every game is, and the Islanders are young and know not to give up. Maybe it'll be a good game.

Other items: ISS now rates Tyler Seguin as #1, and Tyler at mc79hockey had the best-reasoned response I've seen to the Caps-fan-led outrage and misdirection on the Ovechkin suspension.

Star-divide

Throw the NHL's discipline and Cooke's weaselly escape aside for a minute ('cause we know that's a separate topic for rage), and I'm frankly disgusted by the contingent of Caps fans who focus on Ovechkin's strength -- you're still responsible for your actions -- or on an alleged "divot/rut" in the ice -- you're still responsible for your actions -- and pretend that was a shoulder check rather than recognizing the overarching issue: A check from behind at that location (whether contact is made with the neck, head, butt, back, shoulder or ribs) is an absolute no-no -- and there's good reason for that, as Tyler went into.

Not to rant, but it's a pity that the league's discipline mess and the paranoia about treatment of Ovechkin is obscuring  the more serious truth. that checking from behind has no place, and the consequence to Brian Campbell is exactly why: It's too dangerous.

Where was I now...? Oh yeah: Enjoy the late game!

What temperature does water boil in Deg F?
Bailey: 212
Wrong.
Wait.
What temperature does water freeze?

WTF? lol.

BTW- nice to see Biron filling in on the 10Qs for Weight… If anyone remembers, Biron beat Bailey last time but they pretended that he lost because the broadcast figured they were trading him lol.

BTW- I kept saying htis during the olympics but WOW Vancouver looks beautiful.

Ovechkin

I really hate the people who argue “Its bad for the game” for Ovie to be suspended because he’s such a star. Makes me gag, this isn’t the NBA, no matter how hard Bettman tries.

Right. I really enjoy him, but he can’t get special treatment — and in fact he probably needs some deterrence from making hits like that.

They blew the horn to end the game before the clock expired.

Dear Islanders:
WebBard wants me to be more positive about your chances of getting into the playoffs...soooo....please don't make me yell WHY again at the end of the season. I BEG YOU!

when we were on that losing streak, I said the team was streaky. Lets hope they can streak the other way now!

They are playing like a confident team now. Their response to the last few leads has been night and day. Even the way they defended in the 3rd here; they weren’t taking the desperate clears but actually looking to apply pressure the other way.

Streak away!

Plus the hard work and pinching by guys like Meyer and Gervais. Earlier in the year they never would have pinched like that. Maybe now they are just playing like a team with nothing to lose.

That’s right — and everyone was in sync when they were pinching. Not a lot of haywire odd-man rushes getting back.

Sorry Missy but we appreciated you coming over and hanging out with us. Come back any time and good luck with the rest of the season including the playoffs.

Figures

I just got in from work.

Looks like I missed a good one.

by Chickendirt on Mar 17, 2010 12:44 AM EDT reply actions  

Oh man

Great stuff. Roloson was good. Game not as lopsided as the shots looked (four posts hit by the Isles). Good times.

Did you switch jobs/did that interview turn out?

It wasn’t boring. They had some fire in them tonight and JT had a 5 point night.

Yes you did

Never have we been so outshot, yet so dominant at the same time. 5 posts and one disallowed and 2X Nucks knocking the net off the moorings…Sick and JT was awesome!

So do you think...

The Vancouver press will stop lighting a fire under the Islanders now?

I hope they don’t. I want to hear about Kyle Rockposo next time they report on them.

How does a Canadian writer get the name Moulson wrong anyway? Isn’t there an ordinance against that somewhere in Canada’s constitiution?

Told the bozo in an email that if JT wins the Calder now, he should send him a case of Mo(u)lsons.
