Shutout, against a quick offensive rags team and I'm getting the it wasn't "great".I guess I should have said lucky. What's wrong with me being overly positive.
I thought they were far better at keeping the Rags opportunities to the outside and were much better in their own zone. Sorokin came up with some gamers but isn't that what we expect from him? If you're going to press in the neutral zone and pinch at the Red and offensive blue line your gonna give the other team some opportunities. Get used to it. You're not going to see the stifling D structure of a couple years ago.
Team plays like they did last night consistently they will win a good amount of games imho.

There is nothing wrong with that. I just did not agree.

Yes but he cannot be the lone survivor.

Completely understand that, but you still have to be able to have structure. Also, if your team is going to play this way. Your forwards need to work harder in the Ozone and not run around haphazardly. Wasting to much energy running around.

Based upon the way Avs and other more successful teams have been. Yes this appears to be the blueprint.

Look at the shots and control time the isles had. They were on their heals a good amount. If team was successful on PP and provided more offensive control than to me yes it was a great game. But to me it was a good game with some positives and negatives.

OK

good game overall. Rangers getting goalies last 4 games. Complete opposite of last year. Actually oushooting and chancing opponents but losing. Scoring should come. Isles took away the slot well all night which was key
- nyrangers2

100% agree with this. It was really the first time they did this this year.

This should be fun.

The team obviously has home grown talent but this team has not been able to draft or acquire the sure fire sniper. Would be nice if Wally and or Raty turn out to be the much needed goal scoring wing.

Bellows not working out is tough and the player has to take responsibility but this Islander team had had issues with offense for a long time.
- ses111

They gave him a lot of rope to hang himself.. forgave him the failed drug test.. gave him one last shot to start the season. He just wasn't cutting it.. He is not very fast, he doesn't really hit or back check very well... He failed to get shots off. ..

The bottom line is Whalstrom was better in every aspect of his game. So Bellows is gone. I am not at all worried about him lighting it up in Philly. (I hope I don't regret that last comment).

Lee will score 30 again this year, Brock might too.. If Whalstrom, Beau, and Barzal score over 20.. that is all a lot of home grown talent scoring goals in NHL.

100% agree with this. It was really the first time they did this this year.
- nyisles7

Agreed... they had 2 or 3 bad plays defensively instead of numerous. The rush by Gauthier in the first few minutes where he went around Aho like he was a traffic cone was upsetting. you had Kakko later in first do the same to Romanov, but in general almost every shot was outside with no screen.

Ah, I was rooting for him to make it as an Islander. Good skill set, but he never did seem able to put it all together. I'd wish him luck, but if he's with a team in the division, I guess I hope he continues to fall flat on his face!

Yes you do. Stop it

Hey man the guy isn’t Ho Sang. I couldn’t stand that cack sucker. I’m glad he’s in Siberia of wherever the (frank) he is. Bellows didn’t irritate me like that douche

The guy didn’t really move me one way or the other good luck to him as long as we don’t get hurt by it.
