My point is comparable to Nick Leddy. I was not looking for a defensive defenseman. I was looking for more offense on the back end. And you do not know how he would in Trotz system.

I am not saying he is the next Bobby Orr or Norris trophy winner but if you add him. he is an upgrade to what we have.

The problem is I don’t think he’s an upgrade I think he sucks at a far worse salary. I’d rather have mayfield over him.

Flyers announce Kevin Hayes is expected to be out 3-4 weeks after surgery this morning to drain fluid from his adductor region.

No Hayes tonight or next Tuesday

Sucks for him but good for us. He always seems to play well against us it seems…

I like praise on the first line. He’s busted his ass every game and I think this line just might work.
Let’s Go Islanders!

If nothing else, Parise's play without the puck may compensate for Barzal's play with it.

Parise and Barzal seem to be clicking early too.

Offsides ?

Was it offside?

That was damned close.

Yes it was.

Brock with a bad play there forcing Salo to take a penalty.

Well… fück.

Can't say I'm thrilled with how Varly handled that bounce. He was alert in opening his legs to avoid it bouncing of him into the net, but then did nothing to gather it in. Tough break

Good start to the period for the Islanders maybe the first half’s thief’s but then it was all Flyers imo. Boys need to step it up.

Buffalo playing in Ottawa with no fans. Is that all Canadian markets??

Pretty much, yup. Some playing 50% capacity I think as well, but I’m not positive.
