Schaefer’s worst game and he still looked really good. You can tell the game plan was to smother him and put the body on him. Kid handled it extremely well. Crazy his first 4 games consist of going against the likes of McDavid, Draisaitl, Ovechkin, Crosby, and Malkin. Wild.
N.Y Islanders greatest dynasty in the history of professional sports 4 consecutive stanley cup championships 5 consecutive stanley cup finals appearances 19 consecutive playoff series wins. A unbelievable accomplishment and true role models .We should all strive to reach the level of excellence in our respective profession as the N.Y Islanders.
My concern is that even when they are dominant (as you guys said they were early in the game), this game almost went the other way. The defense really isn't great right now.
Also I need barzal and horvat together. The line with both of them is so dangerous. Apart their lines are passable, but not elite
One to build on for sure! This team can NOT have ENGVALLITIS, aka showing up and playing well for 30% of the games. How many hat tricks have been a shortie, a power play goal and an empty netter?
what site do you use for the expected goals? I looked on MoneyPuck and saw a different number so it got me wondering…
It's hard to get too excited when Bouchard had the primary assist on 2 goals. Beautiful pass to Barzal and abandoning his post for Horvat was going the extra mile.
The good news is the Isles scored on a hot goalie with some high skill shots.
Holmstrom is averaging 11:23 minutes per game through 4 games and has only ONE shot on goal. Let's pump the brakes on the "Holmstrom to the top six" talk
Looks like McDavid didn’t dig the fuck in right fucking now last night
I don't believe in tanking to tank. The chips will fall where they will since they didn't sell off pieces in the summer. We know what needs to happen it just stinks that we have to wait 40 games to do it. If Mayfield sits and guys finish, this could be a decent team.
