BLACKHAWKS at ISLANDERS, 7PM
Talk about the game here (Update)
UPDATE: Wallace in the lineup, Haley is scratched to make room for Grabs.
Your goalies tonight are Al Montoya and Ray Emery.
Both Katie Strang and the Isles official twitter feed are reporting that Michael Grabner will be in the lineup tonight, however they’re slightly conflicting about Tim Wallace‘s status. The Islanders are saying he has been changed from an emergency recall to a regular call up, while Strang reports he was sent back to Bridgeport.
Nino Niederreiter, Rick DiPietro and Andy MacDonald are all still out of the lineup. Expect the Islanders to be very patient with Nino.

It’s strange. The last two seasons have been a massive roller coaster. Just two weeks ago, I thought we’d never win again. Now, I expect to win every night. Last season was the same way – think about how your mindset was on Dec 1, 2010 and then how it was on Jan 15, 2011. Remarkable stuff.
Let’s keep the train moving. Remarkably, 6 points out and a ton of games in hand on nearly everyone. Let’s Go Islanders!!!

If Grabner is back, then I do hope they keep Wallace in the lineup and scratch Reasoner and his minus 16 rating. For a “defensive specialist”, he has been anything but. Plus the kids have shown dertermination, hussle and grit, something missing the 1st 18 games. And nice to see Al truly being regarded as our #1…love to see Poulin as full time back up, nice to dream….go isles…1940…..1994

Evening Kevin and Isles country.
Going to remain positive as this little run our boys are on is nice..
BUT, I will touch on THIS: I agree with Isles71. WTF is Reasner doing in the line up???
Scratch Haley and keep playing that stiff???
Get 2 tonight, sit Reasner on Saturday night vs. Pens and Maria, and plug in Haley.
Let’s go Isles!

They need Haley in the lineup.Teams continue to run our top guys.When will they learn first Niño and who knows who’s next.Sit Reasoner already he is garbage and brings nothing to the table.

Terrible call on Bailey leading the the Hawk PPG

Why is Reasoner, and to a lesser extent Rolston, ahead of Haley? Oh, Reasoner is a center….whoopdee doo.
