#Isles D/G tonight vs. #NYR: Pelech-Pulock, de Haan-Seidenberg, Leddy-Mayfield. Berube/Gibson.

Pretty underwhelming considering its against the Rangers. Had hoped for better.

Call me crazy, but maybe they don't want to tip their hand to the Rags with too many regulars before starting the season against them.

They played last night so I'm not surprised by this lineup, plus they play the rangers on opening night, don't want to show them too much

Nice thought, feel like I've heard that before somewhere else though.

That was a tough game to watch. I set up the fire pit outside on the deck with the TV and it was a complete let down.

I pretty much turned it off at the half. I flipped it on a little over halfway through the 4th quarter, just at the beginning of the drive that ended up in Darkwa's TD.

Vikings are a really good team but that game was pathetic.

Jet game was probably worse.

I have no excuses...

I see where your coming from but a large part of me would still prefer they load up the lines and play spank the Ranger for a full 60 minutes.

Well Thursday the 13th they can start their bid for another undefeated season against the Rainjizz

At least it'll give Zeeker a chance to take an opening face-off.

The actual purpose of pre season is to decide your opening night roster. For once, the isles actually have prospects looking to make this team. There is no sense of loading up the roster, regardless of who they're playing. They wanna see what they got.

It doesnt happen often.....but McDonough got beat bad. Voracek literally out muscled him to score that OT goal.

Yup, said last night he made him look silly. I think McDonagh had a date.

I know the purpose of preseason.
I just get so much pleasure from seeing the Rangers getting pistol whipped that I get a wee bit selfish.

Not as bad as yours but the 3rd and 4th lines.

JT Miller, Kevin Hayes, Nicklas Jensen
Chris Kreider, Mika Zibanejad, Brandon Pirri
Michael Grabner, Nathan Gerbe, Jesper Fast
Tanner Glass, Marek Hrivik, Robin Kovacs

That play doesnt happen 5 on 5, which is kinda why i dont love the 3 on 3. I get that the NHL wants to end more games in a win vs a shootout, but, i'd rather see a shorter season and have them play OT 5 on 5 until someone wins.

Try having season tickets in the 90's and 2000's. It was like watching a minor league team vs a cup contender.

I'm kind of torn. Love the scoring chances 3-3, but still hate the loser point. If they could get rid of the loser point, I would be happy.
