The Knights won't be the biggest tragedy in Vegas, at least.

Eberle and Tavares together are great. Josh Ho-Sang is also great. Maybe don't let him fester on 4th line minutes as a direct plug-in replacement for Clutterbuck. Just wish the Islanders could figure out any sort of defense, but maybe that will come as the season progresses. Defense is always sloppy at the start.



Know who else is sloppy? The Rangers. Great job coming back from 5-1 to tie it, but then the third happened. I was half paying attention to both of these games, but I'm guessing giving the puck away in your own zone as your team is skating up ice isn't a good look. Also Free Chytil. Let the dude play.

Wild and crazy idea, but you could subscribe to the Athletic and read articles from your favorite writers.

Way ahead of you. There's good stuff interspersed with their typical Dispatch-style articles.

Some people might not want to/can't shill out for it, though.

Wait so then what about them pisses you off?

Islanders are 0-for-20 on the powerplay, letting up 3 shorties. They let in 4 in 20 (ayy) while on the PK, but also scoring some shorties.

If someone wants to curl a finger on the monkey paw firing AV just to get some shittacular replacement, gently caress it, I'm sure Jack Capuano could still rent out Garth Snow's basement if he's gonna come back to NY.

E: Vigneault's system and deployment might not be ideal. I don't think there is an available coach that would do better with the roster long term.

So yeah, if you get some cumulative GSAA over a decade, the guys playing longer are gonna look better. But here's a chart of three years of 5v5 GSAA/60, colored to show fenwick shots against. Carey good, while facing slightly fewer shots? Lundqvist right there while facing a lot of shots, it seems.




Maybe he's overrated. Can't even be the best like Carey.

"Just think of how good the Islanders will be when their power play gets going. They’re tied for last in the league at 7.1 percent"

I don't think I've seen anything that indicates the powerplay will be improving.

The Islanders powerplay is a net negative.

-2 for 4 for the night.

-2/4.

Yeah, it's not at all like that.





If the fuckin' Islanders didn't give up 2 short handed goals, jesus christ that game might've at least seemed competitive.

So Nick Kypreos said on Hockey Night in Canada that the Oilers are disappointed in the Eberle for Strome trade and may end up moving Strome.

gently caress you, Chiarelli. Get fired already.

3 point night for Eberle so far, btw.
