IT CAME FROM OUT OF THE ICE : HURRICANES (5) VS ISLANDERS (2)
5/1/19
WHAT A BUNCH OF JERKS!!!!!!!!!!
STAAL (11) – Had an assist on the FAULK goal in the 2nd
and the TERAVAINEN goal in the 3rd.
FOEGELE (13) – Also had an assist on the FAULK goal and did
just about everything else stat wise that you can do in a hockey game at least
once.
WILLIAMS (14) – Had a great opportunity to score in the 2nd,
but put it wide. Oh man, oh freakin man, soooo close. In the 3rd he
got even closer and scored the 3rd goal of the game for the CANES
giving them the lead 3-2 at the time.
AHO (20) – Made a huge defensive play in the 2nd
breaking up a play defensively when the Islanders were coming down the ice 2 on
1.
NIEDERREITER (21) – Decent game for him. Just 2 shots on
net, but he was key in getting the puck up the ice.
McGINN (23) – Had a good game. Not a great game.
BROWN (36) – Almost had a goal back in the 1st
period, but just hit the side of the net. I think that is the first time I can
say that for him. He also led the team in hits with 5.
SVECHNIKOV (37) – Really good to see him back. He put a puck
right on the post in the first for his first shot attempt of the game. It didn’t
go in, but it tells you he’s on target. He has missed 6 games of the playoffs
after getting in a fight with Ovechkin in the last series.
McKEGG (42) – A slow night for him. Not terrible.
DUNCAN – The Walrus, kinda of wonder why he hasn’t been
signed to an NHL team. He looked pretty solid in net in that GEICO commercial.
MARTINOOK (48) – 3 shots on goal tonight. You can feel he
isn’t quite up to par just yet.
WALLMARK (71) – Had a nice shot on net in the 2nd.
It wasn’t enough to get past the Islanders tender, but you gotta love it when
guys are getting pucks on the net.
TERAVAINEN (86) – Put a puck in the net after a shot came to
him off the inside of his skate. The Islanders goalie had apparently gone to
get some coffee or something, because he was nowhere near where the puck was on
the play. I hear the coffee in North Carolina is good, so you know…who can
blame the guy.
HAMILTON (19) – Could not stay on his feet for a lot of the
3rd period.
FIRST TIME FOR EVERYTHING – The Islanders scored their first
goal of the series in the 1st period. While they were credited with
a goal in the 2nd game, that goal was actually scored by a CANES
player.
PESCE (22) – Took a massive hit in the 3rd, but
got right back up.
THE INCREDIBLE FAULK (27) – Not sure his penalty in the 2nd
was absolutely necessary, but of course the NBCSN announcers thought so,
because they love Islanders power plays….or something like that. What was
absolutely epic was when he came out of the box and knocked a pass from his
teammate out of the air to take it down for a shot and a goal against Lehner.
Forehand, backhand….goodnight.
DeHAAN (44) – Really solid night for him.
SLAVIN (74) – Is ridiculous. I find it pretty funny when
other teams players think they are going to get it passed him one on one.
McELHINNEY (35) – Was up to par all night. I know he’s not
the normal starter, but this guy started 33 games this year. Hardly a step down
overall. I guess he is also the oldest goalie to start for the CANES in the
playoffs or something like that. I don’t know. I was just paying attention to
his outstanding play.
WRAP UP – The Islanders really need to push the panic button
now.
