Someone needs to take Clutterbucks head off for that hit on Fox.

No response on the Zib face first boarding or Johnson taking Rooney’s head off last night. Why would tonight be any different?

Kakko got taken off the power play for Lemieux and Howden lol

Kakko really getting poop on. Not even on a PP. Unless he is on the 1st unit and I missed it

How did Gauthier get scrubbed off after a solid first game?

I don't get the logic.

gotta try and win a faceoff and get a netfront presence I guess. edit: though i guess you could just throw howden on if there's a stoppage?

not really advocating it, but they love that lone man in front and kakko - for all the pre draft talk about him having insane balance and strong on his skates, isnt that guy yet

I don't get the logic.

Yeah, if he (frank)s with Kakko this year like last, I would want him gone just for that. Can't have a #2 overall ruined and the kid has mega talent.

Fox played 9 mins in that 1st period

Makes you wonder if they faze him out could he be trade bait for that center

They cant keep doing this to him because the 3rd pair is total crap.

If he can handle it why not. Top pair d men average that 25-27 mins a night

No this season they shouldnt. He cant play half the game in a season where games are lined up gauntlet style.

He's young and capable. Gonna be like our Keith.

44% to 56% for the islanders on faceoffs. Just for fun I kept track of them. On four faceoff loses the rangers retrieve the puck before it left the zone. I’m not as worried as lots of people on the faceoff loses if you have good puck retrieval

Ive said it, Im totally fine with Kakko going the other way for PLD as long as theyre not giving up much more than that.

Imagine not losing faceoffs, and how much easier it would be.

On special teams faceoffs are extremely important.

I'm with you on this with one caveat. PP and PK's

Can we score a damn PP goal

If they won the faceoffs theywould have controlled the play instead of losing time chasing and letting the Isles prepare for that.

Lee just won the FO and Leddy hit the crossbar. Point made.

Watched the Devils game with my bud who has no confidence in Hughes. Told him I was glad we drafted second.

This is a little more like it!!
