BOYCHUK SCORED AGAIN
MCILRATH INJURED BY CLUTTERBUCK
ERIC STAAL SCORES

It's 4-3 Islanders.



Now another Islanders power play coming up.

 

[Stasis]

4-3 in the first, McIlrath injured by a seemingly average hit...

Wtf is this game. Battle of which goalie can shit the bed harder? Im just now watching.

I think they cut off that replay of the hit on McIlrath right before the thing that actually injured him. It looked like Clutterbuck was falling down onto his leg in the follow through of the hit. Totally clean, just unfortunate. Knee injuries were a big part of why it took so long for McIlrath to develop, so hopefully it's nothing serious.

Both teams have depleted their goals, no more for the rest of the game.

 

[MetatronM]

Dan Boyle's assist on Eric Staal's goal is the 600th point of his NHL career.

So glad Im dvring that game. :lol

 

[RedRum]

Dude.. I just get in.. 7 goals in the first fucking period??

 

[Stasis]

Between Big Mac's injury and Boyle's assist AV can now play him and Girardi 30 mins each, as he's always desired. He must be so happy.

Didn't see the leg follow-up... that sucks. I knew about previous leg problems. Hopefully he's alright. It's already slowed down his career =/

 

[Marvie_3]

Lol kronwall. You fucking loser.

 

[MetatronM]

Dominic Moore hits a post, and now the Rangers' first power play.

It's still the first period, by the way.

 

[CreeperBlocks]

Put Weise on the power play

 

[MetatronM]

Well.

That's just about enough of that.

 

[Stasis]

Awww, 8 would have been great.

Honor Ovie.

 

[MetatronM]

Just got this text from my sister in Florida.

 

[RedRum]

Can't believe I fucking missed all those goals..

 

[KingBroly]

No goals will be scored the rest of the way.

 

[MetatronM]

LOL, MSG's scoring summary for the period needed two screens.


Eric Staal living up to that Islanders killer mantle I put on him earlier, by the way. 1 goal, 1 assist, 5/5 on faceoffs. Dominant in his time on the ice.

 

[RedRum]

What the hell does free game of the week mean.

 

[MultiJhonny]

What the hell does free game of the week mean.

it's free

 

[RedRum]

it's free

-.-

 

[MultiJhonny]

-.-

:lol

You can watch the game without an NHL.TV sub

 

[MetatronM]

McIlrath came back out for the second, tried to skate for a bit, and then went back to the locker room.

At least that makes it seem not quite as bad as it could have.

 

[RedRum]

:lol

Ah! Haha. Okay. I never streamed off nhl. Makes sense. Thought it was some TV thing.

 

[Marvie_3]

Put Weise on a line that isnt the 4th line

.

Cosmic Queso!

The likelihood of the Coyotes ending up in Tempe is increasing each day and the organization is hopeful a deal with Arizona State could happen by the end of the season.

This is as optimistic as I’ve seen the parties involved in some time.

Coyotes president, CEO and co-owner Anthony LeBlanc has mentioned his “tight alliance” with ASU in the past and it’s true. Both sides have said privately how positive the process has been. Because it’s a deal that wouldn’t require a referendum, the process of a building a shared facility for the Coyotes and ASU – which moved up to the NCAA level this season – could get under way quickly once an agreement is reached.

The Coyotes also have had discussions with the Salt River Pima-Maricopa Indian Community and Phoenix about a possible shared facility with the Suns, but talks with ASU have progressed the fastest.

This is great news for the Valley. The attendance struggles at Gila River Arena have less to do with how the community feels about professional hockey and more about the location.

A Southeast Valley site would boost attendance.

 

[MetatronM]

Isles really have no answer for the Staal line.

Cosmic Queso!

Theres a lot of buzzwords in that article that have made numerous appearances in the whole coyotes ordeal.

"Hopeful"...."optimistic"....."boost attendance"....and so on.

I'll believe it when I see it.

 

[MetatronM]

What kind of game has this been?

This was not called a penalty:

NHL is thinking of raising the draft age to 19

OHL rejoices!

The transition to this would suck for a year though.

I always thought the NHL drafted players stupidly early.

 

[DopeyFish]

I always thought the NHL drafted players stupidly early.

It used to draft at 20

If this means the end of the CHL 2 year window, then all the better. Teams need flexibility of their players. Too good for major junior and not good enough for NHL is happening far too often.

 

[Dubbedinenglish]

19 would be better for orgs too allowing teams to plug in prospects to their system (AHL) sooner after drafting.

Junior Players rejoice not having to go to Edmonton for another year! ;P

Im ok with this.

Eric Staal is being double shifted now.

 

[Smiley90]

Eric Staal is being double shifted now.

You sure you're not just confused by seeing two Staal jerseys out there?

 

[MetatronM]

You sure you're not just confused by seeing two Staal jerseys out there?

Well, there's only one Staal jersey in the game today since Marc is out.

Staal line dominant again, draws a power play.

 

[Marvie_3]

Anisimov!!


Toews!!!

 

[MetatronM]

Eric Staal in front = Derick Brassard POWER PLAY GOAL

All tied up in the third.

 

[Marvie_3]

You sure you're not just confused by seeing two Staal jerseys out there?

 

[RedRum]

I FINALLY SAW A GOAL

 

[MetatronM]

Eric Staal has been on for like 4 of the last 5 shifts.

 

[KingBroly]

Eric Staal has been on for like 4 of the last 5 shifts.

Doesn't strike me as a good idea long-term.

 

[RedRum]

Eric Staal has been on for like 4 of the last 5 shifts.

That man can take some faceoffs.

 

[Marvie_3]

Lol @ these Hawks empty net chances

 

[MetatronM]

They finally let someone other than Eric Staal take a faceoff. Lost and immediately in the net from Clutterbuck. Of course.

5-4 Islanders


EDIT: Empty netter, and that will do it.

 

[Marvie_3]

Hawks win! Fuck Detroit.

 

[RedRum]

Why Staal didn't take that fucking faceoffs, I don't know.
