That was a decent game. They certainly outplayed them in the 1st. Then relatively even the rest of the game. 

 

I'd still like to see some more jam and definitely some players going to the front, so many times they'd have a player behind the net or half wall, looking for a pass to the slot, and nada. 

Good for Comrie, he made some good ones. Happy to see the win, just so we can stop talking about Bedard 😂

Nobody plays more boring hockey than the Islanders. 

 

It’s a shame if they get in. They suck the life out of the sport. Biznasty is right when he says they don’t deserve to make the playoffs and hopes we get in. 
 

At least we will try and score.

And suddenly we are back in it. If this streaky team can pull out an 8-2 stretch I think they sneak in. Crazy

We aren't back in it. We're on the edge of death, and it's these same players that have put us rhere.

The first step in solving a problem, is acknowledging there is a problem.

 They do remind one of the NJ teams from a few years back. It worked for them but it seemed every game was 1-0 or 2-1. Those styles have to be near perfect to work with no mistakes. They don't have the NJ talent to do that.

Those mind-numbingly dull neutral zone trap NJ teams. Ugh.

And that was their 21st road win this season. Those of you disciples of the mythical Deluca 0.500 can rejoice that they've clinched one for the road.

 

Fun game to watch. They played reasonable team defense all game. There's something about the Aisles that they can actually play defense against them. Not positive what/why that is but they can't do it against so many other teams.

 

They played very good team D the 2nd and 3rd periods of the Miller game too. And they were playing good the 1st half of the 1s game in Barclay's. (Didn't get to watch the 2nd half of that game. Know they lost, but not sure how they played in that snoozefest.)

 

They're still alive. Probably won't get all the way back into a playoff spot, but they're still playing meaningful games in the last week of March and almost definitely will be still playing them into April. Baby steps.

Well there is that.

But, they do seem to have issues keeping the heavier teams from making them look silly in their own end.  That they can actually do it against A team gives hope they could do it against more next season.

And against the Aisles they don't let them work into the dirty areas without getting a body / stick on them.  One of the very few teams they do that against.

That was about as unexpected victory of the season. Comrie a shutout?  Who would have bet on that?  KO withhis 10th and the GWG.  Lyubuskin with the primary assist. Mitts makes a good D play to launch Cozens who sets up Skinner for the empty net goal. 

Weird.  Now they have won back to back games on back to back nights.
