I don't think they're coasting, just sucking.
- MrBuzzcut


They're not matching the intensity of the Islanders. They're working hard, but in some of the one on one battles the Isles are giving that last little bit of effort and winning the day.

Giroux is still a young kid learning to play defense. This is really his first season were he is the guy.
- stveshdy


Why he fight earlier? Someone take a run or was it hatred from a previous game?

Ah I see. Point where you hate to see your top guy fight but sometimes its necessary I suppose.

Maybe if Shelley does what he's paid to do the shift before, Giroux doesn't feel the need to do it for him.

You'll have to explain this one to me.

Simmonds, Read, and Couturier have been their best forwards the past 4-5 games. I hope they keep this line together for a while, and give them ice time. Make the other guys start earning their time again.

That's the most innocuous 40 shot game I've seen in quite some time.

He knows how to play defense, he's a smart player. He needs to learn that his offensive struggles shouldn't compromise his defensive game. Jagr can't really teach him that

Apparently the whole "making jokes" part of the post went past you
- Jsaquella


I didn't get past me. You blamed Shelley for not preventing Couturier from being hit early in the game.

How many shots did the isles have? Bob's save% is under 90% i bet. He didn't earn a % that low that's for sure.
