Vinny Slocheck or Vinny Nocheck?

I set a timer to feed my worms tomorrow morning, but it auto corrected to feed aliens, and now I'm not sure if I should delete it or if that'd cause bad luck.

For the Islanders, more fantastic hockey awaits.

Horvat, Suzuki, Sorokin, Demidov, Schaefer, Hutson, Pelech, Caufield, Barzal, Slafkovsky

If, instead of creating Adam, God made Pierre Lebrun, the Bible would be much shorter since we'd go from naming all the animals to immediately flooding the Earth.

Remember when you couldn't use the bathroom during the Superbowl because you didn't want to miss a fun commercial or exciting play?

lol, good times.

Graphic listing NY Islanders hockey player Bo Horvat as the NHL second star of the week (February 2-5) with 3 games played, 3 goals, and 2 assists. He’s pictured celebrating on the ice and fist-bumping his teammates on the bench.

Good afternoon to Bo Horvat, who is en route to Italy right now to play for Team Canada (his dream as a kid) and he just found out this, too. Let’s go. #isles

Maybe Congress should have stepped up when Trump posted the video of himself using a jet to drop tons of shit onto protesters.

Whatever is going on, he's increasingly unable to separate reality from his fantasy land.

2-0 since the bird

13th shot Horvat goal
14th shot Barzal goal

Intertwined

Tsyplakov almost taking a stupid offensive zone penalty?

If not for the Devils' goalie, Isles would score nine goals tonight.

It's been ugly.

Extra skater for Islanders, extra bird for Penguins, leads to Horvat assist on Schaefer's goal.

Two of the top ten skaters in the league simply slip and fall, in quick succession 3v3, leading to Horvat's GWG.

Never know what you'll see when these two teams meet.

I particularly enjoyed the Holmstrom cyclone along the boards for the Pulock goal, turning Malkin inside out.

The last Islander to spin like that and set up a Pulock goal was probably Okposo.

What I liked most about the Bo goal was Barzal and Schaefer both falling, to lure all three Pens deep into the offensive zone.

26D chess right there.

Top defenseman for penalties drawn, minimum +5 differential:

22-23: Makar
89th among all skaters, with 21

23-24: Makar
46th among all skaters, with 25

24-25: Makar
29th among all skaters, with 26

25-26: Schaefer
4th among all skaters, with 28

With his 9th even-strength goal of the season, Matthew Schaefer is now in the top-10 for NHL defensemen.

If Alexander Ovechkin scores four goals in WSH's next four periods, he will score his 1,000th (regular season and playoffs) against the Isles on Monday.

Jesus Christ himself could descend to Earth next Thursday with dozens of people recording the event and there would be hundreds of millions of people who would never believe that it occurred.

Hypothetically speaking.

Matthew Schaefer passed Bobby Orr for 2nd most goals by an 18-year-old defenseman.

In two months Schaefer will turn 18Y7M, Orr's age for his NHL debut in October of 1966.

Matthew Schaefer now with 28 penalties drawn this season.

Last season's leading defenseman, Makar, drew 26 penalties.

Two seasons ago Makar and Dahlin tied for most, with 26.

- Dr. Soucy

Carson Soucy passes Robert Bortuzzo for all-time points, goals by a NYI defenseman.

Maybe if they took the best players from PP1 and PP2 and combined them into one it could work.

This is more alarming than the plot of the novelette / movie Minority Report.

The other NYI-NYR trade of last 50 years: 2010 deal eventually resulted in Isles drafting Brenden Kichton in the 5th round of 2011.

The Isles sent two 6th round picks (NYR, NYI) to the Atlanta Thrashers in 2010 and ended up with the 5th round pick from Winnipeg Jets in 2011. (Same organization.)

Funny xg for the game was even at 5v5. Even though we had 3 more PPs total xg was 4.7 to 3.1 in Seattle's favor. Just an insanely deficient pp.

Only six SOGs in 10:12 of 5v4 for NYI tonight, according to NST.

Yikes!

Maybe two scoring chances?
