Tavares played really well and scored the winner. Stop getting down on him with all the “he does not deserve the first star, B.S. Without him we do not win that game. Period!

Gotta love the fact that Frans Nielsen keeps going back to his move in the shootout, and it keeps working! Also, I bet a ranger fan friend who I was watching the game with that Nielsen would do that exact move and score. He had no idea, ha!

Extend Sutton. Get Donavan in october. D should look like this: Donavan, Hillen, Sutton, Andy mac, Kohn. Not to shabby! And if Freddy keeps playing like he has in the last 3 games, it will be a nice problem to have.

Plus – Freddy Meyer was hitting last night, looked comfortable with the puck.

Minus – I sometimes wonder if we all watch the same game. For the vast majority, the Islanders looked completely listless. NOT hustling to pucks, turning the puck over several times in unforced errors, not in sync on their passes or changes (breakaway goal and too many men penalty)

Plus – We still got a win because they poured it on in the final two minutes. Good for Biron as he played well.

68- the no goal call was very legit. It was tough to call from looking at the front of the player, but when everyone saw the side view it was very obvious. It wasnt even like it was a little foot nudge, it was like he was striking a soccer ball.

Also I think props have to go to the Isles PP. A couple of times it looked bad but overall it seemed like there was a big improvement in puck movement.

Did Howie or the Jaff mention. Joel Ward playing hockey right here on Long Island? If not, that’s a big minus. We need to hype Long Island hockey as much as possible…also, do the three stars actully mean anything? To me it’s an obvious tactic to build the confidence of our 19 year old superstar in waiting, nothing else. No biggie

Minus – Sim and Park

Minus – Gordon for playing Sim and Park.

Plus – Our newest call-ups especially Martin.

Minus – The line combinations

Plus – Finally some hustle again

Plus – A goal call goes our way

Plus – JT scores the winner

Plus – Meyer was a standout player

Plus – Sutton smashing the goalpost (although a big minus for the breakaway)

Minus – Another too-many-men penalty.

Plus – A win for Biron (I’m in the minority who’d rather keep him over Roloson)

Minus – Our goal song. Its silly to share it with a division rival. We should have one no other team has.

Minus – The Lighthouse weight hanging around this team’s neck.

Plus – Another game tonight weather permitting.

Loved Matt *ahem* “Jethro” *ahem* Martin last night. Great game.

I hope we keep him up until the olympics, but I would like him to go back to BPort and develop his scoring/passing. He’s got all the assets to be a great bruiser but still raw. No need to rush him and burn him out.

Don’t know if anyone else mentioned it, but…
Minus – Nashville announcers saying they weren’t sure if the kicked in goal would be disallowed. Check out the highlights on NHL.com. Unbelievable homerism.

Minus: Still can’t win games in regulation and we got two points when we needed 1 or 0 to help secure a lottery pick
