Ben Shelley: Islanders/Flyers Preseason Recap

I'm starting to like Hutton alot. Hickey had a good game. Gibson made some great saves. Beauvillier missed on the PP off a great feed from JHS. Bellows speed seemed to be fine, after all i'm hearing that he needs to work on his speed.

looking forward to tonight to see Wahlstrom and Dobson.

Hutton is starting to look like a player, that was a great UDFA signing out of NCAA. If he has a good year in BPT then he might end up being a good trade chip. Gonna be real tough for him to crack the right side of our defense in the next few years with Pulock, Boychuk, Mayfield, Dobson, and Wilde ahead of him on the depth chart and he's already 24

good Write up Ben.. I agree on pretty much all. Ho Sang had at least 5 passes that were "wow", and I really hope this kid figures is out b/c he has the talent to be a really good player. If he can get his head on straight.

Beauv missed at least 3 really good opportunities last night.

Aho was really good at times, but messed up a few times. One was an il-advised pinch at the blue line that ended up with a 2-on-1 the other way. That will not sit well with Trotz and crew (I love our coaches).

The guys I really did not want to see do well played great last night. Sbisa, Hickey and even Colin Mac played very good.... annoying.

I am excited to see the Ohio State kid tonight in the 66 jersey.

“All I want to do now is play in the playoffs. Get back there and that's where I want to be as a player. You don't want to be nine years in and you've only made the playoffs two times.”

Barzal still taking shots at JT.. lol

Laine sure seems to be burning his bridges. I'm not sold on him being a good teammate, that's for sure.

Berube is so bad. To think Snow didn’t want to lose him

Wotherspoon looks good and jobst hustles he will be good for ahl. Dobson looks pretty good not afraid to mix it up a bit but needs to get stronger however hes young.

Meh, he hasn't really been tested in this game. Let's see how he does in the 3rd period.

Losing Ross Johnston to that 10-minute misconduct was huge. The guy was most of the Isles' offense in the first two periods.

Winning a faceoff would be nice

Brassard from Barzal.

A beauty from Barzal to Brassard.

They really need a good high percentage FO Guy.

What a move inside the blueline by barzal it was like a crossover to start that entire sequence

They really need a good high percentage FO Guy.

Well, Brassard is a career 48.2% FO guy. So maybe not him?

Ebs from Barzal
