The Islanders look to rebound from the loss last night when they return to action today.
The Titan come into town for a Saturday night matchup.
Game time is 7:00 PM.

I'm curious how they'll handle the goaltending tonight.
I'm not fan fan of the dinking around with three goaltenders.... but I understand it is necessary until they know exactly what they have in Bickle and Ozols. I expect we see a different goaltender starting tonight than last night. Do they give the game tonight to Boudreau to start to keep him in the mix? Perhaps does he dress as backup to Ozols?

They announced in their email before last nights game that Bickle was getting the start last night and Ozols was tonight.

Anyone know what's wrong with Conrad? Hulton said he hopes its day to day but could possibly be week to week  |

This was a tough one for me. At times, it seemed like our effort was strong but we had WAY too many turn overs and it just felt like for the most part, we were out played in almost every aspect of the game. The Titan did a really good job of exposing and taking advantage of all of our flaws. Really just felt off for most of the game! Great push at the end but it simply wasn't enough.
Yet it was still a fun game to be at! Crowd was great and the push at the end was exciting.
Great to see Maruna get one. Also, Ozols stood on his head for us and really it could have easily been a worse score but he kept us in and gave us the chance. Butler continues to amaze me for his size. And great to see Hinkley stick up for his team.
On to the next game!

Defense really struggled all night the whole team seemed really slow and sluggish maybe tired from last nights game and playing a fresh Titan or maybe the Titan were just that much better tonight.. Ozlos played really good and man I hate the new fight rule.. Mccrae throws a dirty dirty knee and Hinkley sticks up for the young player that got hurt and now he will be suspended for it

Looking at the supplementary discipline page, he picks up a 1 game suspension for the instigator penalty on Saturday night. Is there an automatic plus 1 game on top of that for the fighting major? Or is he just out for the single game he sits.
Under the supplementary discipline page, no one has been suspended for "fighting" yet this year. There have been fights, but I assume it's an automatic 1 games, so no need to state the discipline I guess?
I figure we are without Hinkley for 2? Any insights?

Its not an automatic 1 game suspension for fighting for your first fight, only after your 2nd fight. So you essentially get 1 freebie (assuming no instigator) Over half the teams in the league had less than 10 fights last season, these new rules really aren't going to create much of a change from the last few years. I find the online chatter about this topic to be so over dramatic, youd think it was written by someone whos living in 2003. Taking into account the total fights last year, it equals out to 0.4 fights per player over the course of the entire season. |
