Comments on: PRE-GAME: Washington at NYI, 7:05 pmBailey in, Walter up…why the Tigers are roaring http://www.islanderspointblank.com/2008/12/pre-game-washington-at-nyi-705-pmbailey-in-walter-upwhy-the-tigers-are-roaring/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=pre-game-washington-at-nyi-705-pmbailey-in-walter-upwhy-the-tigers-are-roaring Independent, Daily Coverage Of The New York Islanders Sat, 11 Feb 2012 19:51:10 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: Marc http://www.islanderspointblank.com/2008/12/pre-game-washington-at-nyi-705-pmbailey-in-walter-upwhy-the-tigers-are-roaring/#comment-13559 Marc Wed, 17 Dec 2008 14:47:43 +0000 http://www.islanderspointblank.com/?p=4415#comment-13559 Defense has certainly not helped lately, but MacDonald has been exposed as what he really is: a backup goalie who has played WAY too much. If/when DiPietro gets back HEALTHY, then Joey will probably be just fine for what he was signed for. Until then, ouch. Starting goalkeepers need to make saves to cover up for the defense's mistakes, not to compound them by letting in soft goals. Entirely too many of them lately. And even if every team is NOT represented at the All-Star Game, Streit should be there.

I think this was a damn good game all around, I just wish that Joey didnt let up a couple of extremely soft goals. Joeys great to have as a backup but the Isles need a goalie to keep it down to letting in just a couple of goals once in a while, you know?

The game was entertaining none the less. Guerin definetely does look disinterested out there. Not what you want to see from your Captain. They just seemed to be running the clock on the last play of the game. I know I can’t bring myself to say anything about Witt but something is definetely up with him.

Hopefully Go-Go knows that offence is the best diffence but it doesn't work all the time. Regarding witter, due to his wonderfull years as an Islanders in the past, I'll cut him some slack and also, he is not a type of defender who can run goal to goal, he is not a spring chicken with a bad knees. How many times did he join the rush? Too many.. Hands off Witter, he does what Go-Go wants him to do... Good third period.Actually great third period.I’m happy with the result.

Bailey and him were on the same line most of the time tonight. Bailey didn't seem like he got too much ice time tonight and very little PP time. Don't say he is coming back from an injury because than its hard to believe that he wasn't rushed back. Youth movement?

Are defense is pretty pathetic. I thought Guerin had a bad game. The last goal was a result of him playing the puck and not standing his man up, one of many half assed weak plays he made tonight. Oh well, how many more days till the draft? At least we put up a fight. Are defense is pretty pathetic. I thought Guerin had a bad game.
