Watched an Islanders game from some of Barclays Center's worst seats. Here are the horror stories. http://sports.yahoo.com/blogs/nhl-puck-daddy/islanders-at-barclays-center--where-terrible-seats-meet-good-intentions-142752112.html

It's been a month and Ryan O'Reilly is 7th in NHL in points. Nikita Zadorov was a healthy scratch today and Grigo is averaging 7 min/game.

Bylsma's "system" is about moving the puck quickly when transitioning from defense to offense. It's about getting the puck to the forwards with speed so they can enter the offensive zone on the fly. It's a difficult thing in the NHL because it requires puck moving defensemen and forwards with high skill level.

 

I don't when it's going to happen, but there is a day coming when the Penguins are going to be punching themselves in the face for dumping Dan Bylsma for no good reason.

I agree, I have Pens fan friend that laughed when we signed him and I know the day is coming when I can say who's laughing now! Solid 1st period for Linus and the gang.

The arena looks like it's super awkward on tv. What the he'll were the engineers thinking

That's just a great win. 4th game in six nights and on the road. Big confidence builder.

 

Three out of four this week is pretty impressive. Could have beaten the Pens too with a little puck luck.

Bylsma's "system" is about moving the puck quickly when transitioning from defense to offense. It's about getting the puck to the forwards with speed so they can enter the offensive zone on the fly. It's a difficult thing in the NHL because it requires puck moving defensemen and forwards with high skill level.

There are only two goalies on an NHL game roster. There are 12 forwards and 6 defensemen. Numbers alone mean there are more limited opportunities and most teams aren't going to give a spot to a young goalie who would be better off playing every night in the AHL or ECHL.

 

Additionally, you can hide a young defensemen or forward by matching up. No such luck with a goaltender. Keep in mind that most of these guys being drafted are teenagers. They're not physically or emotionally mature, which is why most of them don't see a game in the NHL until they are 22 or 23. The grind of playing 50+ games in the NHL wears down young players pretty quick and if you struggle at all mentally the process accelerates.

 

Projecting a goalie is probably equivalent to projecting a QB. It's just very difficult to know where an 18 year old is going to end up 5 or 6 years later.

 

I guess I should start recommending goalies then :D

 

I like his system then, the more you're in their zone the more you score and the less for them :thumbsup:

Listening to Bylsma is like listening to Bellicheck, hope we win as many championships though.

good trade I'd say :thumbsup::thumbsup:

I hate engineers , they think they know everything and then they don't have to deal with the consequences of their actions.

Legwand to Reinhart for the game winner. 2-1 Sabres. 3rd win in four. 2nd 3rd period comeback.
