Schaefer is turning out to be a stud. So glad we have him on the Islanders. The goals he scored on Saturday against the Leafs were amazing plays especially the one that tied it at 2-2.
That’s what the Islanders need from their forwards, they need a young stud like Schaefer at winger position, they already have the centers.
Any other stadium I wouldn’t have been spooked but in Nashville I knew this was going to be a loss as soon as they tied it with a SHG.
Would have been nice to get the win but still got a point with a 2-1 loss in a SO. Can't win them all but they did get a point so overall not a bad night.
1-0-1 so far on this 7-game road trip. Keep racking up those wins and points. Sorokin has to be one of the favorites (so far) to win the Vezina
Sorokin with a 35 save shutout in the Isles 1-0 win over the Oilers last night. 2-1-1 on this 7-game road trip. 57 points on the season. Not bad at all. Let's Go Islanders!
Another win last night 4-3 over the Canucks. 3-2-1 on this 7-game road trip. Hopefully they beat Seattle and come home 4-2-1.
I know Drouin has not been scoring a lot, but the team is relying on speed to punish the opposing defense. He will get this scoring chances as season goes on and he becomes a little more selfish, he had 4 shots on net. I would love for everyone in lineup to start lighting up the lamp, but in my honest opinion, it’s the speed that has this team in the position they are in.
Very disappointing end to the road trip - they weren't just outplayed, they were outworked and outhustled.
That loss was on Roy, the lineups he put out there were shameful. McLean should never see NHL ice ever again, he’s not capable of playing at that level, time to move on from that experiment. Pageau should not be centering a second line at this point in his career. Heineman on third line is a waste while Drouin on second line is also a waste. If Drouin is going to get ice time then let it be on third line, Heineman is a scorer and needs to be on second line. Anders Lee needs to go as well, that man has legs like Jagr and my speed as a professional hockey player. Shabanov has regressed since he got here, he showed glimpses of a good shot and skill, he has lost his confidence and it shows on the ice.
3-3-1. Not bad for a 7-game road trip. Come home to play Buffalo on Saturday then at Philly followed by a home and home with the Rangers later next week. Let's Go Islanders.
