Playoffs??? If their pre-season is any clue they won't even come close. Sorokin would have to have a crazy good season but the defense as usual is still a wreck. Pellech is his usual useless self. The rest would have to be stellar and I don't expect much scoring.
Great point by Gil about health. Just want to see what our team can do if our core and D can stay on the ice
First 20 Games, 1st 20 over.500/1st 20 under.500 This is going to determine many things, Biggest Thing this is When the GM is going to decide keeping Roy or Parting ways thanks Gil LGI 💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼👏👏🙌🇺🇸✝️🇺🇸
Good 🌅, Gil. How are you? Good 🌅 Russ Cohen from @LockedonFlyers, Hunter Hodies from @LockedonPenguins, and Jay Forster @LockedonBlueJackets. How are you? All of these teams in The Metro Division sound like they're very young so far. The 🔵 have a chance for a 90 point season, The Flyers, who were once a powerhouse in the division, have a 80 point season. Our Islanders have a chance for an 82 point season, and that's if they stay healthy. I'll say it again, NEVER UNDERESTIMATE THE POWER OF THE LITTLE GUY. The🐧acquired Anthony M. and Parker Weatherspoon. The Flyers acquired Trevor Zekris, who is still young. The blue 🔵 acquired Dante Fabro, and Charlie Coyle, and I think they're still grieving. Of course, the Islanders acquired Matthew Schaffer and Jonathan Drouin. Give Schaffer the 9 game tryout and see what happens. Tony D'Angelo is QB the PP. If these teams go South, and that includes the Islanders, THE COACHES WILL AUTOMATICALLY BE ON THE 🔥🪑. This is a good podcast, and I wish all of you well.
Columbus locked on…he from Australia or Britain?
Can Pelech/Pulock and Barzy stay healthy?
I love all the negativity
