Islanders-Bruins Rookie Game Thread
7 p.m. at the Coliseum. The link in the headline should take you to the video stream. But if not, check the official site [audio there too] or MSG. Rosters and lines were posted earlier.
If you're watching, chat it up here. If not, check impressions here and we'll have a prettier recap up later on.

It it biased if I see our list and think the B's rookies are in trouble?

I thought the same thing
But probably we just know our prospects better. Or are better. Ha Ha

i thought
that the islanders website was only going to having streaming audio?
is it going to be video as well?
Happy "Pre" Islanders!
is it too early for that? Oh well.

Seemed to move in slow motion but he has LONG limbs…I did think he showed some potential tho…Has he not been good in the AHL?

from the ship deck
feeling seasick from this one camera business
but here’s some early thoughts
Kabanov & Cizikas – looks like they belong – can Cizikas make the team please?
Kabanov – very promising
Nino – looks good enough to start the season here
Strome is going back to juniors
de Haan & Donovan are going to Bridgeport
Koskinen is the worst of our 6 keepers as thought
Ullstrom, Ness & McNeely – three to keep an eye on
Persson – could also be a keeper
promising stuff
Agree Strome is going back to juniors
didn’t think he looked out of place here though.
Like Pedan too.

Observations: prefaced by, "yeah, it's a rookie game, BUT....."
….the kids are playing very well positionally for the most part; VERY impressed by the pokechecking – deHaan and Dono both solid so far, Strome is as advertised (if not pulling out the highlight reel material tonight) Persson is impressing as is Ullstrom and Pedan….as for Mikko, well, it’s EARLY yet….KK is everywhere! Oh yeah, McNeely is, as Cary observed, doin’ OK himself…..
I think they were listening...
to the Cappy interview. Because Ullstrom is playing like he wants to be an Islander… and if Nino isn’t that impressive he’s got to be the next in line for shot. It’s good when prospects can push each other.
5 years ago they were pushing each other around in wheel chairs.

Obviously I didn't see Mikko's strange outlier season in Finland, pre-hip surgery
But here’s what I’ve seen from him over here: Vacuum-like street-sweeper legs when he gets down in time to close up the 5-hole. Otherwise, you can slip it in down low and take your pick up high.

They're undercounting Mikko's saves!
It IS a conspiracy to get him to Kalamazoo.

Our powerplay just looked really good there
Pr*j*ct**ns lead to long term injuries, just ask the asian guy from Inception
And Nino makes the team!

Every time they show the ticket promo with the Moulson photo, I keep thinking I’m seeing Peca. Only Moulson could look like Fenster, MIchael Jackson and Peca depending on the day.

Not watching
Scanning the comments I get Mikko sucks. Nino is soso, but scoring. Cizikas is yoeman, but I can’t decipher the de Haan comments.
Also, what’s the score?
Isles playing with 4 defenseman?
deHaan, Pedan, Donovan and Ness… only heard Katic once and Bidlevski last period.

Def. heard Katic more
And he got one of the penalties this period.

"Pull Mikko for the extra attacker" he says. Would it make any difference?
Should have pulled him right from the get go.

This is just comically bad from Mikko

You gotta win that puck, Calvin
I know it sucks to go into the corner to fish the puck with a guy on your back. But don’t just give him the queen.

Why not give each goalie 2 periods over the 2 games
and prevent the assload of goals the Bruins scored in the 3rd

Welcome Mikko… hop on in.

He made the same amount of saves from the bench
as he did while he was out there, ZERO.
Is the rookie scape wagon a RED RYDER? Looks like Mikko Konstantly-let-em-in is driving today.

So much
for our “awesome” prospects. Not only is Snow an idiot, so are all of these pundits lauding our picks.
At least when they move to Quebec I won’t have to care.

Well played
I can’t even think of anything you left out.
Maybe “if they hired a real NHL coach” or something.

Maybe if there was a bigger crowd...
there would be enough to beat the hell out fo Mikko with socks filled with bars of soap

yep...
there’s no reason to draft a goalie that high… pretty soon he will become Mikko Obscurity until he resurfaces on another team when he’s 26… like most goalies do. Why waste the time and effort… and the DRAFT PICK.

I am WRONG: Final was actually *8-5* with a late empty-netter

How awesome is it that we have about 300 replies for a rookie game thread
and people say we don’t have any fans

And not one of them is me singing a psalm to Frans!
I guess we have about 10 Wang puns, 30 knifings of Mikko, and one Star Wars reference though.

Don't know
but can we get him back? Don’t remember many injuries back then.

That's because those were MEN playing hockey back then
not these namby-pamby pretty boys
Hoping that Haley comes around more than once every 75 years.
$40 grand, huh?
For that kind of money, those rings better have been on Mike Bossy’s fingers for the last 25 years.

I think
the HOF line is not true. As far as I can tell the only staff in the HOF are Arbour and Torrey, and I doubt they’d have a trainer ring.
Trainers were Jim Pickard and Ron Waske.

From Staple in Newsday
And the injury bug bit even in this game, with promising wing Rhett Rakhshani leaving with a concussion after a hit in the first period.
This is not good. That’s #2 for him. Is he concussion prone because of size or do we think this is a fluke?

OMG! I can't believe these kids lost such an important game!
A rookie game nonetheless. Fire the coach, fire Snow, trade all of the picks and throw Mikko into the Sound!
Eh. It’s a meaningless game just to showcase prospects. No one wins the Cup off of a rookie game.

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

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.
