If anyone is interested, Bally usually shows the re-air around 1 or 2 the next afternoon. And it is available on demand on Hulu. I'll be watching Hulu when I get home this afternoon.

I called game when Carolina went down 3-0 and showed no signs of life. But I didn't turn it off and I said nothing out loud. Nonetheless, I'll take my flogging now.

You're right. You know they're going to let some go if it's lopsided. But if there's an injury it should never be ignored.

I had a feeling. Canes haven't been in the box for a long while, figures they let a few Isles penalties go.

Jarvy's did. Bar down.

We may have seen him in a Canes sweater for the last time

I'm not real confident they'll come back and win this, but they've done bigger.

Anyone doubt Kuzy's compete? He is invested. Never seen him this intense.

Surprised no one had Turbo.

Whaddya know... play net front and score.

I'm calling game. It takes clean entries and net front. Neither of which the Canes are executing.

This is not good.

Closed.

Canes got caught below the goal line too many times last game. Too many opportunities for the Isles having a guy on the doorstep and Freddie having to make a huge save. NY wants to muck it up below the goal line and try to draw a d-man too deep or get just one more guy to bite down low and open up the crease. Canes try to play more offense down low and net front, it'll pull the Isles closer to the net and Carolina can get some easy entries. Otherwise, the Isles just clog up the middle like the Rags do and it works against the Canes.

As much as I think it could be Staal, Noesen or KK.... I'm going with Jack Drury. He took a puck to the nose late in Saturday's game, came back out with tampons in his nostrils and won the faceoff in the Canes D-zone. Puck went to the wall where Necas muscled it away from Dobson and scored the empty-netter. Isles are trying to rough him up a little, but he's been fighting right back.

Guentzel (re-sign) - Aho - Jarvis (re-sign) Svechnikov - Kuznetsov - Vet FA Martinook (re-sign) - Kotkaniemi - Fast Nadeau - Drury (re-sign) - Noesen (re-sign) Vet FA Slavin - Burns Orlov - Chatfield (re-sign) Skjei (re-sign) - Morrow Vet FA Andersen Kochetkov ------------------------- With the departure of Necas, TT and Staal retiring, there's plenty of cap space. The first domino is Guentzel, obviously. If he doesn't want to stick around, I think the priority then becomes Necas, TT or finding yet another goal scorer.

Pyotr will get a game in NY.

"That's why they get paid." "I'm not happy. We need to clean this up." Kuzy is all business.

Patrick Roy has done this team well. This ain't the same Islanders.

Jarvis is pissed he got sent down a line, and he crushed Dobson.

They had a very long O zone possession and the crowd got into it. Next shift Noesen scores.

Jarvis is the only guy on the top line who's playing a decent game.

Isles pushing hard. Slavo just saved a goal.

9 SOG almost halfway thru the 2nd?

PP guys, let's go.
