Would have been happy with the point if not for that pathetic, god awful display by Halak in the shootout. He never even came close to stopping one shot.

Wasn't even close. Lamest display of effort I've seen in a while.

Hate the shootout, too. Call it a tie. Hell, play 10 minute OT. Call it a tie after that.

Any change from that Strait - Zidlilcky pairing should be an improvement. And after the shootout last night, glad to see Halak getting a night off.

Back to back, would expect Halak to sit, regardless of how bad he shit his pants last night n t shootout.
Hopefully they can muster 50 minutes of hard play and 10 slacking instead of last nights 10 hard play minutes and 50, well 55, minutes of slacking.

Just read the Flyers Rangers highlights, and Philly was saying basically "we knew we had to play a full 60 minutes, and we did" and won, 3-0.
If only the isles understood that.

I like Okposo.
But tonight I have found myself saying "WTF are you doing?" a lot more than normal. Is it just me?

Nice road win. Coming back from 2 goals down and finishing it off tonight. This game was all about Greiss and Special teams. Much needed and hard earned two points.
And as for KO -- stupid penalty in the 3rd, and I am tired of seeing him try to stick-handle past three guys on his own. Frustrating guy to watch at times.

Definately a good win. I'm surprised they'd win, TBH. The Florida road trips are usually brutal. I did some research a few years ago, and since the lightning and panthers came in to existence, the Isles have only won both games of the Florida trip like 3 times. Ever. More often than not, they lose both. So even one win on th Florida road trip is dong good.

Hopefully this will be the tough earned 2 points that'll send them on a bit of a winning streak.

I saw that Pelech got send back to the Bridge. I never even got a chance to watch him play......I think he only played one game.

Question for the group (all 4 of us):
Who is the second most valuable player on the Islanders?
