How about face offs? We are getting CRUSHED. Especially important draws.
who gives a poo. you can't will yourself to improve at faceoffs or practice extra. they just happen, and they'll even out in the long run. you deal with them until they improve.

mikey, you could throw out some numbers that say Varlarmov should be the Islanders starting goaltender right now. Doesn't make it the correct decision. Sometimes you just go with the hot hand, or in Varlarmov's/Jarry's case, the not-cold-hand.
Jarry isn't cold. Lagace isn't an NHLer. I'm the last guy that could ever be accused of being a numbers guy for situations like this. This one is no contest.

our choice right now is Jarry or Lagace - what are we arguing here?
I think it's "if CDS was healthy, would we play him"

if anyone is genuinely discussing Jarry vs Lagace then please go here: www.letsgopens.com

I refuse to accept the legitimacy of any chart that does not have Bob at the bottom. Next!

My problem with Jarry is that he doesn't battle. On both the 2nd and 3rd goals the shooter mishandled the puck initially, he made a move on the initial mishandle and didn't work hard enough to recover. You need to hate, HATE getting scored on and I don't know that he does enough.

Still the best goalie in the organization by a large amount and still can win if he plays better. His crease, needs to grow a set here.

the NBC announcers kept talking about Pelach (?) and how he was shutting down the first line. while I'm not a big fan of playing "match lines" hockey, if Pens have the last change then why did Sully keep putting Sid's line out there against him at the beginning of the period?

Pierre is drumming it up. Let’s not dive into the legitimacy of it too much

Peloch isn’t a guy you need to screw up your flow for.

He’s fine. Not Hedman.

That line is killing us. We have largely contained barzal and Eberle, and pageau/Palmieri have been quiet since game 1. But beauvillier looks like a star and Bailey is always steady... super underrated. Then that 4th line is still a really good 4th line.

If we lose tonight, it will be a deserving outcome. Which i can live with. This isles team isn’t good. If we get taken out by a goalie and a 4th line, then we weren’t going far, regardless.

So if Jake, McCann, Zucker and ZAR wake up (one from each line...look at that) and Jarry gets his groove back and Letang and Dumo save their screw ups for more convenient times, then great. But there are enough bystanders that this isn’t just about puck luck or a hot goalie. The team as a whole hasn’t shown up.
