GDT: R1:G2 | New York Islanders @ Carolina Hurricanes | April 22nd | 7:30 PM | F/5-3 L

[periferal]

All I ask is that the refs don't stop us from scoring again.

 

[The Lighthouse]

Only need 1 to tie it up!

f***ing cockblocks

 

[PhysicalGraffiti]

I just want us to be up 4-0 before the third period so I can go to bed early for work tomorrow.

Goals by: Palms, Nelson x2, and Dobson.

Hopefully Pelech doesn’t lob it to the pointman while completed uncontested on the PK again… I think he’s a candidate to get moved this summer, he’s kind of washed…but I don’t think the league knows it yet.

Too early to speculate, but here's a crazy one that might be a good fit. The Isles get bounced in large part due to an ineffective PP, and TOR gets bounced because they can't defend. So, Pelech and JGP for Tavares. I'm thinking Pelech would waive to go home. Would Tavares? And would we have him back? Flame away. I know I would.

We can sign him as a free agent after next season.

 

[Skip To My Lou]

Chipotle should help with that.

Buy one get one free if you wear a hockey jersey tonight only!

He’s going to the Utah Yeti’s. In all seriousness, I don’t see him being the one leaving. The team will have to suck it up and elect not to resign him (I don’t think that will happen).

Let's Go, Boys!

 

[Nassau Revisited]

Score more goals than the other guys!

 

[PhysicalGraffiti]

Call me crazy, but at this point I'd rather see Wahlstrom in than Matt Martin.

I gotta think he's got a spark that would motivate him in the playoffs and be more useful then that shell of 17.

I'd even prefer having Fashing over Martin.

I may be way off and the reason I'm not an NHL coach, but whatever lol.

If Gauthier is still alive he would be an interesting addition for 1 game. He may play 20 horrible games but for a game here and there he looks like a superstar

Yeah I forgot about him. But this is the time of year where a short spark is all we need. We don't need a whole season of high quality play, just enough to get a win in the playoffs.

You realize Nelson outscored Tavares right? He’s legitimately ass now, I wouldn’t do Pelech for him straight up.

Plus, he’d never waive for NYI because he’d probably be forced to pay his taxes.

If Fasching is coming out for Pageau, he’s next in line before Wahlstrom. Hell, we have no clue if Roy would put in Iskhakov before Wahlstrom, Iskhakov is a better skater and harder worker than Wahlstrom.

 

[islesfan186]

well -- when some have rankings as the SC favorite, you might be doing the same thing.

NHL odds to win 2024 playoffs, Stanley Cup, conference futures

Carolina needs to actually win a game in an ECF before they should be considered favorites. A combined 0-12 their last 3 appearances

The real beauty of the deal is that the Isles would trade away $10.75M in salary for $11M of salary, but Tavares has just 1 year left whereas JGP has 2 years left and Pelech has 5 years. It would be a massive salary cap win. Plus, put Tavares on a line with Lee and you make them both better (based on previous chemistry). It would be an expensive 3rd line though! TOR probably wouldn't do it for that reason, but hey, I'd make the phone call.

My god, take this shit somewhere else, anywhere else, besides the game day thread.

F’ing refs.

Good point.

 

[Big L]

Hope Roy has a trick up his sleeve. Carolina didn’t play good game 1, and I don’t expect them to play bad game 2

 

[SI90]

Really just comes down to capitalizing on our chances.

No bad penalties
Realize they dive
Clear pucks when from our zone at all costs.

If I was coach, I’d definitely chirp the ref before the game starts to keep an eye out for the diving

 

[SI90]

Canes in good hands again lol

It’s sad and weak. They’re such a talented team and to play the game like that is gutless

and if you added wally to that line you would have the slowest line in the NHL

Maybe they’re just good.
