Ben Shelley: Game 3 Preview: Islanders vs. Flyers

The Isles need to come out ready every game. I do not believe they played well enough to win the game as Ben indicates. I do believe they showed a not quit attitude down 3-0.

That being said Varly was not. The goals he gave up were bad goals.

That being said, I would still come back with him in game 3.

They've had two days off. They are facing back to back games so Trotz may want to split them between Greiss and Varly. Greiss looked good in relief on Wednesday but I would go with Varly tonight.

Nice job Ben.

Let’s Go Islanders !!!!!

Varlamov is streaky lets hope that was a 1 game thing

Nice job Ben.

Let’s Go Islanders !!!!!

barry didnt blame Varlamov post game - he balmed the team for not giving him much support. coaches dont protect goalies by blaming the rest of the team. since its back to back, i think each will play a game.

I disagree. Occasionally, a coach will point out a weak goal, but most of the time the coaches DO protect their goalies. Goalies are a strange lot and can have fragile psyches, and coaches don't like to say anything to hurt their confidence.

i agree coaches protect goalies, but he focused on the poor team play in front of Varlamov and said he changed to shake things up. i dont think that he would say those things if he didnt believe them. jmo
