Shhhhh you're going to wake up douche and he's going to call it the worst movie ever

I'm used to it. I argue about rogue one to anyone who will listen. That was a boring WW2 movie in space. A star wars movie with no lightsabers and no force. Brilliant

Kane turned around to pursue Tarasenko because he had already blown by Jack. Jack stopped moving his feet and let Tarasenko go by him. If what your saying is true what is Jack's assignment after Kane takes Tarasenko? Vlad did what was available to do because Jack did nothing.

Bottom line is they have jobs to do. If Kane takes Tarasenko then the whole slot is wide open. Kane probably expected Jack to do something. Jack did nothing. I'm a big fan of his spread your legs and poke check technique. I'm sure that worked quite well in college. Next time you want to keep someone outside keep them outside. Heaven fracking forbid Jack should make physical contact with somebody.

You guys want to give him a free pass, have at it. I think you're wrong. I have explained why. Have a great day.

No, it isn't! Risto was covering the other side. And I even said all Kane had to do was skate towards Lehner, Tarasenko would have to come to Kane! The slot would have been covered!

Holy poop... Kane lined up DEFENSIVELY and then did WHAT??? WTF was he doing? What was he trying to accomplish exactly? He saw the play developing, positioned himself defensively, and then completely curled away from the attacker!

He served literally no purpose on that play. He did absolutely nothing, after positioning himself defensively, to defend against Tarasenko. People want to give Kane credit for transitioning and turning around to face the play... wow, great (frank)ing job Kane, way to look the part! He certainly had Jack fooled.

The guy is an absolute eye-sore defensively. He's been in the league for how long, and that's the amount of smarts he brings to the defensive zone. He's got a (frank)ing tree stump for a head.

And to answer your question, Jack's job after Kane picks up Tarasenko is to cover the trailer/high slot.

I'm not absolving Jack here, he's pissed me off plenty of times this year.. but holy poop people, there's more than one guy on the ice. And if you are turning around to face the play and defend against an attacking forward, you are playing defense. So play (frank)ing defense. It's not rocket science.

NHL team officially unveils plans to relocate



While the Islanders haven’t been at the forefront of relocations rumors, the team’s ownership has been working diligently behind the scenes to secure a new arena in Long Island, NY. Last night, they unveiled their plans to create a brand new 18,000-seat arena, a hotel, a retail village and an entertainment plaza in Long Island’s Belmont Park area.

We've become the team I feared we would become the Islanders of old

You have Jack and you have bunch of Backpackers for the ride

Not to mention Eichel had his stick positioned to cover the pass at center ice, thinking he had help behind him.

They both botched it. Saying it’s all on Eichel is just plain incorrect

The third act was fun, the rest was boring imo. That movie only works because it rides the legacy of star wars so hard. If you had never heard of star wars, that movie wouldn't resonate at all. When Vader comes out cracking dad jokes and talking about logistics it was over for me.

People are seriously just trying to run this dude out of town

We do it with all the athletes

SPECTOR’S NOTE: Hoffman and Ceci are likely the best trade chips. Hoffman or Brassard could interest a club in need of offense, such as the Carolina Hurricanes, Montreal Canadiens or San Jose Sharks, while the Buffalo Sabres, Chicago Blackhawks or New York Islanders could come calling about Ceci. Still, finding a return for either guy that immediately reverses the Sens’ fortunes won’t be easy.

Any interest in Ceci and what do you think they would want? A dman most certainly would have to go back in any deal.

Ceci is fat and past his prime. I think the yankees are going to let him go.

Sorry,

Should have used an emoji.

Best,

Looks like my last post didn't post, so I'll go again.

You're assessment may be correct. A poster last night stated what should be obvious to us all is we don't know whom was responsible for Tarasenko. But it didn't look good at all.

But we have to avoid this false binary. One play doesn't make a whole game, it may be important as it was the LAST play of the game. Bottom line the Sabres aren't in OT if not for Eichel creating on both of Rodrigues's goals. That's how Moulson's career in NY was built stay near the net, because Tavares opened it, accept the feed back of net. That's really what Erod did on those two goals and it's attributable to Jack's carrying the puck in the zone and drawing multiple defenders.

However, it looks like he got torched on the last play.

That one play doesn't make him entitled, nor a bad player overall. If you're citing the penalty shot in OT the previous game the dude was gassed from carrying the team as it is that bad.

Yes Eichel does make players better around him, there is no denying that. But there are so many holes on this team. He's out there, at least by the eye test maybe one of you stat guys can help me, what seems to be most of the OT period and that's just back and forth skating.

Again, he could have played that better. He's not lazy, terrible, etc. He did make what appears to be a bad play at a very inopportune time that we would never have even been in if he hadn't driven the offense to two goals.

Eichel wasn't on the ice for the game tying goal.

Girgensons, Okposo, E-Rod, O'Reilly were the forwards and Scandella and Risto were the defensemen

No, it isn't! Risto was covering the other side. And I even said all Kane had to do was skate towards Lehner, Tarasenko would have to come to Kane! The slot would have been covered!

Holy poop... Kane lined up DEFENSIVELY and then did WHAT??? WTF was he doing? What was he trying to accomplish exactly? He saw the play developing, positioned himself defensively, and then completely curled away from the attacker!

I would argue that you have never worn skates.

So Jack is supposed to let a guy skate by him and then pick up the guy that was covered by Kanes positioning on the ice?

"False Binary" is the perfect phrase to capture the state of this franchise and many of its players for this season.

Note Bene: I said MANY of its players. Not ALL. Pissboy will always be a $Fiver.

We will probably have to add another conditional pick if we are able to sign Karlsson.

There would be a lot of conditional picks.
