No way Strait was going to make things easy.

Didnt you say we match up well to them and actually out hit them? Maybe I misunderstood your post but that's what I remember.

Did you actually think he wouldnt be in game one?

I was actually at both games and relative to most opponent they were some of the least physical.

Maybe you should send less time listening to Howie Rose on TV and make you own assessments.

Its amazing how we get the most favorable matchup in Eastern Conference yet Its mindboggling to hear they prefer to have gotten the pens.

By Pens, so you mean the team that totally Waxed us without Malkin and Fluery. Yea that sounds like a great idea. What next you going to tell me we should of played the Caps b/c we beat them last game? come on now.
- Spartiarti

dont we have a better record against the pens then the panthers?

No you said they out hit the isles in every game and I just pointed out that the isles out hit them in each game they played according to the stats.

1-2-1 against pens 1-1-1 against panthers

There is no way Strait or Zidlicky get anywhere near the Game 1 lineup is there? IS there?

I wish I could say no way, but we know Cappy.

I didnt say they out hit them specifically I said they beat the shat out of them physically which theyhave for wuite some time now.

wasnt talking about just this season which is of course skewed anyway being that we played one more game against the Pens.

If you want to go by Staple, this is what he thinks the Game 1 defense is:
@StapeNewsday
2-3, 44-55, 14-50/6

Personally, I wouldn't be surprised to see Strait or Zidlicky in

Are you really going to make me dig for the post? I promise you won't be happy when I find it?

Oh I thought you were talking about this season, what were you talking about then?

If they're not both in the line up I'd be completely shocked. He has got to play his "veterans". Do you actually think Capuano is going to grow a brain between now and next Thursday?

Find it. Dig away I dont remember saying hits specifically. I said they beat the shat out of us physically which they did and have for years now. You used hits as an example to say they didnt which I kind of balked at. Start digging

I guess if Marty frackin' Reasoner was in the Game 1 lineup against Pittsburgh in 2013, anythings possible.

I honestly don't get the whole "hipster" thing with the move to Barclays...

Hipsters live in Greenpoint, Williamsburg, and Bushwick. Barclays Center is a handful of miles away from these areas (which is considered far in NYC).

I live in Williamsburg so you're getting this from the source.

Barclays Center is more "urban" to be politically correct. No hipsters in that area at all.
If you go west or south of Barlcays Center it is where all the yuppies live (Park Slope, DUMBO, etc.). Again, not hipsters.


So if the whole "hipster" and Barclays Center thing could stop that would be great. Barclays Center and the Islanders are focusing more on attracting an "urban" fan base that lives in that area and is more prone to watching the Nets over the Islanders.

Steve zipay from newsday just ran the story about how alan vin whatever turned his tv off in disgust at the islander flyers game. Saying the rangera chose to play hard and the islanders didnt

To be fair, walk a couple of blocks south and you're in practically Park Slope, a neighborhood that would read as "hipster" to anyone who cares about such things.

If the Rangers were trying their hardest against the Islanders then they're going to get swept

Wow. Shawinigan gets a goal called back as anthony beauvillier is shown to be offside on the review. 1-0 Shawi.
