SBN voice of the South Stars: Defending Big D
Complete Coverage >
"[Milan] Jurcina outperformed [Jack] Hillen in camp to secure a spot on the opening night roster," Newsday's Katie Strang reports, and thus the evaluation of big "Juice" Jurcina begins.
This our open in-game comment thread. It's separate from LHH previews and recaps for SBN reasons and because it's easier to separate in-game chaotic thoughts from the build-up and the calm-down. Sometimes these will disappear from the front page a day later, but you can always find them in the Game Threads section.
If you're a new commenter, we have some general guidelines here. Lines after the jump. Let's do this thing!
Commenting
Oh yeah, something that helps you navigate: The list of instructions under the orange "COMMENTS" bar on each post, which tell you:
Press C to tab to new comments, Shift-C to tab backwards, X to mark as read, and Shift-A to mark all read.
The best: Z will simultaneously mark and tab forward, and R will reply to the comment that has focus.
The "Formatting Guide" link in the comment box also gives you some tips for quick shortcuts and stuff.
Lines
Per Chris Botta and Katie Strang from the a.m., Kari Lehtonen is in goal for the Stars again, and here are the Isles lines:
Comeau - Tavares - Parenteau
Moulson - Nielsen - Hunter
Bailey - Weight - Niederreiter
Gillies - Konopka - Sim
Mottau - Wisniewski
Eaton - Martinek
Jurcina - MacDonald
My God, this defense is improved even without Streit, isn't it?
The Islanders are 24-10-3 all-time in home openers. Let's make it 25, shall we? Let's Go Islanders!
