i don’t buy the “trap” thing, and really don’t think he was referring to a new jersey-style “trap”. i think he under-estimated his opposition and here’s the result. Gordon’s a strong coach.

you really think so? We’ve pretty much controlled play most of the 2nd and all the 3rd. outshooting ‘em pretty easily. outchancing them motst of the game, horts hit the post. I don’t think we’re playing that poorly, their ‘tender is just making the saves. he’s hot.

Don’t wish to be a jerkoff, but there’s been nothing I’ve seen to suggest the Cats have held ownership over anything in the past two hours.

The Litter Box: Your SBNation Florida Panthers Blogging Colossus

by Donny Rivette on Jan 31, 2009 9:08 PM EST up reply actions  

really? hm, ok. different opinions, fair enough. i just feel like most the play, especially the last 10 of the 2nd and the first 10 of the 3rd, were spent in the Isles zone. we’ve outshot ‘em by 4 both first and second periods. it’s not like we aren’t getting chances.

by Stanley C. on Jan 31, 2009 9:09 PM EST up reply actions  

atlanta scored 4 the other night in the third period, so it can be done.

wow, i’m surrounded by pessimism!

by Stanley C. on Jan 31, 2009 9:11 PM EST reply actions  

I would have been ok with this if this hadn’t been the same team that emabarrased us last time we played them and if DeBoer hadn’t been promising they would be ready to play. They didn’t have the worst ganme I’ve seen them play, bu the Isles played superior back checking and the Panthers always seemed to be one step behind the puck. All of their passes across the middle have been too long and their dump in have been too fast. They effectively stalled our powerplay when the Panthers tried to keep two men on the point by not allowing them to have any breathing room to set up. That sort of pressure on the blue line has seemed to work severeal times against the Panthers. Some teams are smart and know that’s where a lot of our offense starts from. They had some better set ups when they played the umbrella formation but then there was a guy lacking in the corner or in front of the net.
The Islanders clearly wanted this one more. Now we just have to see how they respond to the Maple Leafs andmore importantly the Islanders again in a couple of days
