Elias Pettersson Posted February 10, 2023 Share Posted February 10, 2023 Wow, we are only 4 points out of being tied for 3rd worst in the league. That's impressive given the quality of competition we have. Keeping Demko out as long as possible and playing Kuzmenko 12 minutes a night might allow us to even catch Chicago and Columbus... 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That trifecta of knowledge could convert him into our own version of Marino with less offensive upside but much stronger defensively. I honestly don’t think it’s a reach to say that…or maybe I’m just being a homer. 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bure2Win Posted February 10, 2023 Share Posted February 10, 2023 Could get fugly without Schenn in the lineup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we can get a top three pick this draft, we get a great prospect. If we pick four or five we could take Michkov? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RWJC Posted February 10, 2023 Share Posted February 10, 2023 So, quick question, if the Islanders make it into the playoffs, do they instantly become the team you root for to win the Cup? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tocchet will play him more and more. And Myers less and less. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alt kilgore Posted February 10, 2023 Share Posted February 10, 2023 1 minute ago, RWJC said: Very curious to see what Tocchet/Foote can get out of Burroughs and if they feel he should have a stronger role going in to next season. Really rooting for Burroughs to take another step. Sure seemed like Boudreau was playing Burroughs more often later on. Even saw him with Hughes once. A difference from after Stilllman was healthy enough to play and JR insisted BB play the D he had to give up a second rounder for, at the expense of Burroughs. Near the end of his term, BB just didn't give a #$%$ about JR's rep anymore. But as soon as Tocchet is in, he got the word right away it seems like, to play Stillman over Burroughs once again. Only an injury like this would get Kyle back in. Not that Stillman has been awful. He's improved since he first arrived. But still prone to gaffs and out of position. But Kyle is clearly the better choice. He's smart with the puck AND is more physical. I'm hoping Kyle can get in a few games in a row and Tocchet can find out for himself. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A team like Arizona might just wait around for him. Same with Anaheim who already have their 2 centres. If we finish in 4th spot and if one of Anaheim or Arizona are below us, then we have a shot at Carlsson I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ted Lasso Posted February 10, 2023 Share Posted February 10, 2023 I could see this being a statement game for the new/remaining leadership team. Boys will be tired from last night, but will be interesting to see who steps up. Wish Bo well, but not tonight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
