Bortuzzo is going to get eaten alive, he's awful. Aho probably would too, but at least he can move the puck a little.

Bortuzzo won't get pushed around just skated around

NEW YORK ISLANDERS SIGN TIKKANEN, JEFFERIES

EAST MEADOW, N.Y. (April 19, 2024) – The New York Islanders have signed goaltender Henrik Tikkanen and forward Alex Jefferies to two-year, entry-level contracts that begin in 2024-25.

Tikkanen, 23, has played 16 games with the Islanders’ American Hockey League affiliate, the Bridgeport Islanders, this season, posting a 7-5-2 record with a 2.17 goals-against-average and .927 save percentage. He won in his AHL debut on Dec. 29, 2023, at Springfield and pieced together a five-game unbeaten in-regulation streak (4-0-1) from Feb. 2, 2024, through Mar. 3, 2024.

A native of Lohja, Finland, Tikkanen also went 11-7-1 with a 3.22 goals-against-average and .892 save percentage in 20 ECHL games with the Worcester Railers this season. He spent last season with Worcester, going 18-17-3 with a 3.02 goals-against-average, .914 save percentage and two shutouts. Tikkanen was selected in the seventh round (214th overall) by the New York Islanders in the 2020 NHL Draft.

Jefferies, the Islanders’ fourth-round selection (121st overall) in the 2020 NHL Draft, has six points (three goals, three assists) in 10 AHL games with the Bridgeport Islanders this season, including one assist in his professional debut on Mar. 22nd at Utica. He joined Bridgeport on an amateur tryout agreement (ATO) on Mar. 20th. Jefferies completed his fourth and final season at Merrimack College last month and recorded 23 points (13 goals, 10 assists) in 22 games, and was nominated for the 2024 Hobey Baker Award, which recognizes the top amateur player in the United States.

Jefferies finished his college career with 97 points (41 goals, 56 assists) in 105 games for the Warriors, including a career-high 14 goals and 41 points as a junior in 2022-23. The 22-year-old native of Framingham, Mass. was named to the Hockey East First All-Star Team that season and was a Hockey East All-Rookie selection in 2020-21.

I'd argue that Rickety Cricket is more versatile. He can be a priest or a street rat, and everything in between

No Gail the Snail?

Preliminary word is the Pageau might be out until game 3. Of course, he’s probably playing his best hockey of the season and this happens. At least it looks like Dobson is back and according to Roy, fully ready to go.

This is honestly an account I’m not familiar with but he does have 14k followers for whatever that’s worth. He may not miss anything, the thing that sucks is whether or not he misses games, he’s not 100%.

Gonna pull a 7 here and say this guy has no clue, the org isn't going to leak that at all. Hopefully he's OK but not practicing isn't ideal at all

Nobody has any clue what’s going on with this team besides people within the team. Anyone who gets something right, is just a maybe educated, more then likely lucky guess.

I was just passing it along. Like I said, he’s not gonna be 100% either way which blows. Not practicing is definitely not a good sign.

I mean…what do you do? Smart money says plug Holmstrom in but we’ve been nice and set with all 4 lines, and Pageau being a center, who moves to center? Take Cizikas off Barzal’s line? Who goes there? Holmstrom makes sense from a penalty killing aspect for sure. Do you roll the dice and play Ishkahov? Do you play him on the 1st line? Just such an Isles thing that Pager gets hurt in a meaningless game.

Canes have the best pk and second best pp this is going to be extremely tough oh and they are a great defensive team too

Don't know I'm sure they don't want to break up the top two lines but the 1st line has 3 centers on it. I'd assume Casey moves off that before anyone else and fasching takes his spot

Canes in 4 (four).

They should win the series on paper but you just never know. The isles goaltending could be the difference maker.

Of course! Me too. I think it’s gonna be a tight series. Isles are better than they were last year, but so are the canes.

Yea a second line that can score is huge with barzal healthy. Gotta stay out of the box and they have a chance
