That fall into the boards vs the rangers may be hurting barzal a bit. Figured he wouldn't skate tonight

Makes sense to me even if he wasn't a little banged up

Hard to understand why they wouldn't call up Ishakov and another guy from B'port. I just hope no one gets injured tonight.

Yeah it seemed like a good opportunity to get a look at a few guys. Oh well.

I mean he is the best player on the team imo so he absolutely can't be out for the playoffs. He wasn't 💯 last year and that line was sunk

He was barely 75% last playoffs. Having a healthy Barzal (and his development with Horvat) will be impactful. Isles are 8-1-1 in their last 10. Peaking at the perfect time. Hopefully they can maintain this play into the playoffs. I like our chances. Steal a game on the road and see where it goes.

They should bring up Ishakov for the PO and sit Nelson. He been terrible

Yeah the two points are ultimately meaningless. Just let as many guys sit as possible.

The NHL's rules on what a kicking motion just makes no sense

I think they ruled that Malkin's skate was planted before the puck hit it.

Which would be absolutely incorrect. Malkin's skate continues to move forward after contact.

Bo Horvat is the crossbar King

So…Pageau hasn’t played since the middle of the 1st period.

Could be. If this game mattered one iota, I'd have watched the replay closer.

Now that was a kick.

Precautionary, I imagine
