PrintChicago Blackhawks at New York Islanders, Dec 8, 2011 7:00 PM EST
Next Game
Blackhawks (16-8-4, 2nd/W) @ Islanders (9-11-5, 14th/E)
7 p.m. EST | MSG+ | Audio: NHL - WRHU
Nassau [gloriously unsponsored] Veterans Mem. Coliseum
They brought their toys with 'em: Second City Hockey
Tim Wallace has been reclassified from emergency callup to genuine, waiver-danger regular ol' callup. Not bad for 9:37 of work. Micheal Haley is scratched, Al Montoya starts and Michael Grabner is back faster than I can finish this sentence.
Ten years ago the Islanders made the playoffs for the first time in a long time, in what would be four playoff appearances in five seasons. The Hawks also made the playoffs but it was their only appearance in an 11-year stretch.
Everybody hurts. Sometimes.

Today's already been full of win around here
We’ve had a mature discussion about hockey toughness, a trip down Long Island teenager memory lane and a Bill Stewart reference. The game is basically gravy.
That being said, let’s keep this thing going, boys.

Nice body play to check and steal the puck … and then he gives up the puck so cheaply. Does he have any peripheral vision?

Although its hard to judge off such a small sample size, but he’s had a pretty solid few games.
You should've seen her face. It was the exact same look my father gave me when I told him I wanted to be a ventriloquist.
Only thing that bothers me about Reese
is his defensive awareness. Usually it’s not that bad, but there’s been moments where he just has massive brain farts.

Yeah
But he brings more to the table than other defense-men whose name rhymes with “nottau”

Real sick of hearing about Rolston's shot
Yes, it’s hard, great work. But it’s either wide or right at the goalie, I’m sure anyone on our team can wind and fire it just as hard if they didn’t try and aim it in good spots too.
by BaltimoreIslander on Dec 8, 2011 8:17 PM EST via mobile reply actions
they're not connecting on their passes
like they have been the last few games.
I don’t know if that’s a product of them getting to fancy knowing they just went 4-0-1, or the Hawks just gobbling up the passing lanes and the slot.
What the fish, stick?
I think it's the Chicago D
They’ve been good tonight, the first line of Pap, JT and Moulson haven’t been able to get much pressure, especially in this period, and they’ve stuffed the Isle’s breakout pretty effectively.
by IDCWhoYouLike on Dec 8, 2011 8:22 PM EST up reply actions

There is just no excuse for missing the net that often

our powerplay is awful
I want to read that 30 page packet on how to run the powerplay because when you go against a pk as bad as chicagos you need to score.

that's what I mean
some of you are just too young
I remember a great Islanders – Blackhawks 3-3 Tie at the Colly – very satusfying game
as this one would have been if it ended 2-2 after Regulation
but no, this is the age of instant gratification
I was a bigger fan of the Isles 9 something Thrashing of the Hawks during a blizzard in 2003 or 04 or something.

Yes, the Hawks and the Dead Wings....
How I would like to turn back the clock
It also didn't help that JT was
at the end of a very long shift. Fresh legs would have helped somewhere in there.
What the fish, stick?
I Said the exact same thing when I saw that.
JT really should have changed, he should not have been out there. IMO he is technically at fault there, but its really tough to say “at fault” when it comes to JT.

he Jaff can break down a play like no one else…He can show you how and why something worked or did not work…We were blessed to have him…I wish I knew the real reason why we let him go…
could have gotten 13th place
But TB’s Dominic Moore just schooled the Rags and Lundvist to tie the game late.
What the fish, stick?
I'm fine with that.
13th place can wait. Beat the Rags. Always.

well actually for the moment
we are tied pending the TB/NYR SO result since Isles got the points in less games, but water under the bridge in about 90 seconds.
What the fish, stick?
Garik question
How is Staios 11 and Jurcina -10 but Montoya only -9 in Corsi +/?
Don't make me bring out the Silky.
after that blown 5-3 I figured we were done for
so I m also thankful we received a point
Chicago is still one of the best teams in the league
Even though their goaltending is supect, but that’s two straight games we’ve stayed with them.

ehhh don't sugar coat it, we blew it hahah.
but yeah you’re right lol.

in theory
their D isn’t that good – they are similar to the Rangers
we really are very close to being very good
not at all
there isnt very much depth to the league this year – after Boston, Pittsburgh & maybe San Jose – you jump right to geams like Vancouver, Rangers, Chicago – who we are competitive with when we play them
we really aren’t far away
that admittedly is more of a statement of the relative depth of the NHL than anything

I just dont think the Hawks are similar to the Rags are they?
Do the Rags have the weapons the Hawks have on offense??
Again, it was a nice point.
We are playing much much better than we were.
Is it a good thing that I couldn't watch this?
Confusion…
We may be in the box, but you get the penalty.

This.
People say the NHL should contract, but I argue it’s the NBA that has to cut back on their teams. By a big number, too. That is, so long as they allow the best players to cluster around one or two teams. I never watch ANY basketball. Hate the sport. But I typically can correctly guess the four semifinalists before the season begins.

We outshot them, out face-offed them, out blocked shot them, out hit hit them, forced more penalties.
and we came back from 2 down to get a point. Be happy everyone. We are playing much better.

1979-80
Source: Uploaded by user via NYIslanders on Pinterest
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
Source: Uploaded by user via NYIslanders on Pinterest
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.
