I will take the win. The next is the kryptonite game. Another barometer test.

Weird game. To be halfway through the 2nd period with four shots on goal and have a two goal lead…

Varly incredible. Barzal not so much. Good to see Pageau seems to be finding his game along with Fasching/Holmstrom. Not pretty wins by any means(weird saying that with a 3 goal shutout) but it’s two points. Third period they got it together but hope they can button it up some more…

I don’t understand what you’re saying. You think you’re funny but it gets old. Especially how you spell Sorokin. You made fun of him early on for letting in goals and came up with your capital O’s. Backfired on you but you still somehow think it’s funny. I could care less your opinion of me not liking Lee of late. Just saying you’re carrying something for years that’s not funny and irrelevant.

Week of your friend is your period.
(Bail)Lee comment wasn’t targeted at you. It’s the whole crew. He is now the new whipping boy.
I did it as a joke one game and it just stuck. Always liked sOrOkin. (Sorry)
I kinda like it. I’m sorry it twists your nads. Tough day at the office?
I like you much better when you’re drinking bourbon.

Barzal has been way off and not skating like himself

Barzal does not seem happy playing the game. I'm not sure if it's Lane or the overall system.

Pelech being hurt isn't good and I'm guessing he's out for a while too. Luckily Romanov has been playing well and Dobson hasn't been a tire fire in the d zone. That's said the team as a whole hasnt really been good and they need to improve on that. Engvall was a great pick up that line has been pretty good

I think it's probably time to say Fasching has overtaken Wahlstrom's spot in this lineup. It feels like Wahlstrom is heading the way of Bellows at this point, not the direction we hoped he would

It really seems to be chief. It's been so tough for the Islanders to find a young breakout forward. Holmstrom shows some signs, but it's been a slow process. A line of JGP Holmstrom and Iskhakov could be interesting.

It's good that they found an NHL forward for free in Fasching. But Wahlstrom is disappointing. I was hoping they'd give him a shot with the top line and see if he could, if nothing else, put the puck in the net semi-consistently. But at this point he looks lost out there more often than not. I think his time is starting to come to an end here.

Trade him for D help if Pelech out long term?

I don't think he's worth a damn thing. Maybe a mid-round pick and/or a mid-level prospect

I think you’re looking way too deep into this. He seems to do this every year for a couple of games. He’ll bounce back in no time.

I meant more of a package type trade for who? I have no idea but if Pelech is out a while they can’t rely on Bolduc

Yeah I wouldn't even know where to start this early in the season. I guess we just have to wait and see on Pelech

I hope so Vukota. I'm thinking he would like to put up more points. I'm not sure he'll be happy putting up 50-60 points.

I'd love to shoot these Islander scouts and development people into the Sun at this point.

One thing if Pelech is out for a while, we will find out about Bolduc if he plays every game.

Hanafin? From Calgary?

Last I heard they've put all their contract extension talks on hold after they got off to this brutal start this season. He might be, but he won't be cheap.

Oesterle was just waived by the Flames. Not sure if he's any good??
