SABRES 0311 Posted August 17, 2020 Report Share Posted August 17, 2020 Heck of a game between STL and VAN. Both teams battled especially the goalies in OT. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been really impressed with the Islanders these playoffs. They remind me of the Vegas Golden Knights in their first season when they just steamrolled through everybody playing a physical and heavy game and grinding down their opponents and then finishing teams off by their constant speed.

JohnC Posted August 17, 2020 Report Share Posted August 17, 2020 9 hours ago, WildCard said: They wouldn't pay him Money was an issue but the bigger issue was the length of the contract. Trotz wanted a five year extension while the organization believed that the lifespan of a coach for a team was shorter. The organization wasn't willing to budge on the length of the contract issue. So he quit and was immediately signed by the Islanders. What can't be denied is that the Lou Lamoriella and Trotz have done a terrific job for the Islanders.

That was Botterill's finest hour, not only removing Nylander, but acquiring Joker. Alex was a hoot to iso cam last night. Looked like an OHL player out there. That old-man-twirl clip was apt. Someone on HFBoards called Alex Marcel Hossa to Will's Marian in 2017, and that turned out to be right on the money. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dudacek Posted August 17, 2020 Report Share Posted August 17, 2020 It’s so easy to hate Nylander’s game. He is the epitome of the entitled soft Euro stereotype. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope GMKA (yuck) has an eye for that. Not just the Euro version but the North American as well. Imagine if we drafted good players with Alex & Mitts picks. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
