I have a feeling we’re going to see the better islanders tonight on the back half of two games just because that’s so this season. Assume Varlamov in net.

Islanders are a huge tease. You think they will crash and then win a few then back to losing.

It wasn’t.

Sure made me appreciate Pageau even more, though.

Pretty much every other team in our division has been through the same, inconsistent, play, at some point this season. We just haven’t dug ourselves out of it yet.

Both him and Parise never stop working out there.

He's a really solid player. I think he was banged up last year, but he was great the year before and so far this year.

He’s always killed the rangers that guy, Pageau I mean

Stopped to ask if you hear any Tarasenko rumors to the isles? I’d like to steal him from you guys

John Tonelli is not a HOFer
(Sorry always wanted to do that)

All quite on the trade front. Trades are very tough in today’s NHL.

Blues in limbo tho. He probably would be a day of guy. Last second kind of thing. There isn’t much out there tbh, after Kane. On the wing at least

I'm glad we got him. He's one of those subtle guys a team needs.

You can have Tarasenko. I hear his shoulder isn't great.

John Tonelli for the HOF!!!!!!

Barzal out?!!
