he's less slow footed than Grossmann.

not much though, I'll grant you.

MAB isn't a speedster but he skates ok...he's good defensively along the blueline and in coverage and brings lots of offensive potential. He looked pretty good at times given how little NHL experience he had when he was playing. I'm going to take a wait and see approach given what he's coming back from but I think he could be an underrated asset if healthy.

Dunno..I actually thought the Islanders goals in the shootout were pretty nice moves tbh.

Finding ways year after year to be the joke team of shootouts in the NHL.

EMBARRASSING loss. This team completely stopped playing with a 2 goal lead.

The Isles showed them what hard work is.

Blown 2 goal third period lead = check
Voracek broken hand = check
Yolk on Holmgren's brow for Downie trade = check
Shootout losses to Carter Hutton and Anders Nillson = check

A complainiacs dream.

I don't know what you're talking about. That was a great trade and Talbot had to go.

This one tastes bad. Nothing else to say. Gotta play well tomorrow night against the Canes.

These next few weeks are a gauntlet. Show em what you're made of boys.

You could see this coming a mile away.

Another point pissed away against a division opponent

Raffl should have definitely been ahead of Coots.

Hell, I'd put him ahead of Vinny as well.

I knew we were done as soon as it went to a shootout. Emery is HORRENDOUS in the shootout and break-aways in general, he has ZERO movement ability.

Downie, with that play, just earned himself another game or two in the Cote suite. That was pathetic.

He's got a brain injury. It's making him stupid.

He stopped at least 3 breakaways in the game today, including a 2 on none.

Emery deserved better today, for sure.
- FlyerGuy


He certainly did himself no favors in the shootout. He got lit up like a pinball machine.

Except for the break aways he stopped today.
I have no issue with how Emery played in the shootout, I didn't think any of Islanders goals were cheap.

You take 3 out of 4 any day of the week. Does it blow to lose that game after being up? Consider it a wash as the Flyers did it to them two days ago. What I will say, while they are scoring goals their team defense has fallen off a Cliff. And the goaltending is suffering big time for it. They have to make THAT move for a defenseman. I just don't think it's there to make.

totally different scenario... point is though it should've never even gone into OT if this team does what any good team should be able to do.

i dont know why it has such difficulty translating. a breakaway against MAF has like a 40 percent chance of being a goal in game action. but he is the best goalie in the league at shootouts
