Penguins v. Islanders Round 1 Series Thread

[sbb122]

I woudn't say it was the difference but he's "much better" at handling the puck and getting it out of the offensive end than MAF is.

Fans and critics have bitched about MAF's puck handling blunders for years. Telling him to stay in net, not go behind the net to handle the puck because a lot of times it resulted in a turnover and with him scrambling to get back in net to make a save.

Not sure if you and I have been watching the same MAF over the years, because to me.... he is horrible at puck handling while trying to get it out of the zone.

100% agree. MAF plays the puck like he has a live grenade with the pin pulled on his stick.

There are so many goalies who wish they led their teams to a Stanley Cup. This fact alone means he should never be considered the Worst playoff goalie ever.

Brock Nelson has been skating with the team. If Nielsen can't play he'll take his spot. I don't know whether or not he'll be playing if Frans is good to go. I'd prefer Nelson over Reasoner or Aucoin.

 

[Jims_Doors]

Nielson is one of the bright spots on the Isles team. I like his game.

End this fucking round tonight!!!

GO PENS

That was some abysmal D-zone coverage, 1-0 Isles

Yeah it was. Murray, Kunitz and Neal were all watching the game.

 

[Darkstone42]

Murray can't keep up with that line.

 

[dare2be]

If the first 7 minutes of this game is any indication, we're in trouble.

 

[Darkstone42]

IGGY!!!!

 

[dare2be]

STRAIT!

 

[ritari330]

I think Streit put that in his own net...1-1
