Came home alive
But not entirely well --
Most folks couldn’t tell...

>>The Hoagland Conspiracy, "Home Alive"

The Islanders have five regulation wins in 2010. Every one except the Jan. 6 squeaker in Denver has come on home ice. The Flyers aren't kind, the road isn't kind -- hell, NHL hockey games have not been kind to the Islanders lately.

Here's hoping they come home alive.

I’ve heard it can take two years to recover from that much surgery. I guess we can look at the bright side, that he really didn’t look out of place when he did play. Especially being a year removed from NHL level play, a .900 SV% and 2.60 GAA aren’t horrible, his AHL stats were worse.

Please NBC, Fire Milbury, Hire Roenick Full time!!!

by WebBard on Mar 9, 2010 8:34 PM EST up reply actions  

That’s the thing — it’s natural for people to want resolution now, but he could even take a year of rest off and still have a contract and a chance before he turned 30. Don’t think the story is nearing its end yet.

Lighthouse Hockey: Under contract through 2021, knees and hips be damned.

by Dominik on Mar 9, 2010 8:36 PM EST up reply actions  

Yeah but

I think the recovery (getting back to form) vs what this is (every time I move my knee swells) are two different things. This is pretty much what happened to him after the first surgery right?

by quin8722 on Mar 9, 2010 8:36 PM EST up reply actions  

Well the way I look at it, its how many years now? 12 or 13 left? They might be shutting him down for something that would be considered minor on another player.

Also I think the week off really did him in, as the knee swelled at the first practice pre-olympics if memory serves right.

As long as he doesn’t try to push himself, I’m all for it.

Please NBC, Fire Milbury, Hire Roenick Full time!!!

by WebBard on Mar 9, 2010 8:39 PM EST up reply actions  

Apparently he had practiced for 3-4 days before the knee swelled, or at least before he pulled himself out.

Hard to say, as he played quite a bit and even 2-in-3 since coming back. It would be fun if the Isles let the doctors talk like other sports do. Not holding my breath on that one.

Wooohoooo

JT Finally scores! It was beautiful too because Leighton was confused by Sim (or was it Park?) and Moulson’s movements on the right side of the net while the puck was on the left.

Also am I the only one surprised the Isles are 29th in the league in PK? It feels like a better PK then that. It’s just when they are having bad nights anyway they seem to give up a lot of PP goals.

It doesn’t look very good on my end. Wife’s trip and some other events have gotten in the way. I have farecaster open right now though to see if I can still pull it off. Sorry to leave you hanging (and leave possible planning so late).

Wait — I just double-checked the Isles schedule, and that game is THIS Saturday (3/13)! They’re on the West Coast over the 21st. I thought something was odd about the Blues visiting them this Thursday. We’ll have to go over this offline to see if there’s another option.

Wahlberg really did an incredible job, proving that he can be a good actor. Lewis was genuinely awesome, which is nothing new. I think if you run down the list, many of those men went on the star or play roles in other Movies/Series. They’re not huge headliners, but I think that really lent itself to the quality of the series. They were all excellent actors, not prima donnas.

also on this date in hockey history

1904— Lester Patrick became the first defenseman to score a goal

One Goal Losses

The Islanders have had their fair share of one goal losses over the last 2 seasons.
Last year: 24 one goal losses, 9 in OT/SO
This year: 19 one goal losses, 8 in OT/SO

This is positive. I think that we’re 2 big players away from turning this around. Of course, I just looked at the scores/records, and I don’t remember the exact way the team played. One goal scorer and one shut down d-man and maybe some of those bounces turn the other way. Plus, another year under KO, Bails, JT, Franzy, Moulson Golden, Rob Shremp Hockey’s belts, not to mention A-Mac, Hillen, and Kohn-head, and we’re pretty solid.

Come to mention it, I would blame last years one goal losses on spotty goaltending. This year, I would blame it on spotty defense/scoring. One year, it’ll all come together…

by billymac23 on Mar 9, 2010 11:06 PM EST reply actions  

I think it’s just cause our top forwards are so young/inexperinced

Schremp/Moulson first real season of full time action for either of them
JT is a rookie
Okposo and Bailey are both in their 2nd season
Nielsen is only in his 2nd full time season

They score, but they don’t seem to get those clutch goals all that often.
