It's not about making him the victim but in the time he's been here, I've seen Kreider take stupid damn penalties constantly with impunity and he's now an, "alternate", captain. I've watched Trouba all last year making stupid effin plays that he repeated game one again this year with impunity. And again, it's asinine to bench a guy after game 1 when the entire team played like dog shit and ADA didn't stand out unless you are intentionally looking for him to stand out. How many lazy penalties does Strome take each year? When was he ever benched? To me it seems like there are two sets of rules. If this is a few games into a season with multiple occasions, so be it. It's game 1 of the freaking year and if u are going to take prior seasons into account day, 1, thrn half the team shouldn't play tonight.

So he’s getting benched because in 2018 he took a crappy penalty or because he’s just the guy Quinn decided was the only one that didn’t show up? Zibanejad took two penalties. He getting benched? Trouba let Lee literally score a back breaking goal and get out muscled. He getting benched? Have we never seen that all last year? Jack Johnson took a penalty like a minute and a half into his Ranger career? You get the point. I know I said I didn’t have a problem with Quinn’s handling during the game of ADA but to bench the teams best offensive defenseman a game into thr season is just asinine. Absolutely asinine. The whole team bombed. Not ADA specifically.

I love hearing Sam bumble his way through “save Geeyore-gee-ev”

I will say this. If he was at the end of his leash with ADA on opening day then maybe they should have traded him this offseason because it’s super quick. Also, ADA was bad, but who wasn’t? He didn’t take a back breaking play. He wasn’t even the worst D out there. JJ, Trouba, Miller all were horrible too.

Oh good season starts today !

I mean I’ve seen Marchand lick people but #thecup so it’s okay and cool but in 21 when the nhl makes u play nothing but rivals you’ll call Lemieux for that? Weak. And will be a long season for us if that shit gets called since we don’t have much else in terms of grit and vinegar

I dont really mind it however I guess it might be better to have warnings. You want to call the one on ADA I wont eat your lunch for it. However, what's the point of promoting a season of rivalries and playoff like environment then give Lemieux a penalty for getting punched in the face? Takes away the point. He get under the skin of the Islanders thrn got penalized for generating a reaction. Seemed way over the top there.

Yeah those were both head scratchers. I don’t know if that was a case of the officials trying to assert themselves or a line for the rest of the year but those two specific penalties were ridiculous

Kirill Kaprizov.......gonna hear that name a lot this year

Lol now that would be something lol

I’ve noticed that a bit too but delivery comes Sunday so we usually do mom-wed hello fresh and haven’t had a problem. By Friday you really need to have eaten them though. And yeah those recipe cards are good to have for the future

Ahem. I did lol.

McDavid hat trick so far and Laine with 2 goals and the ot winner.

Look on the bright side, no one wasted money paying for tickets to that shit

What if they don’t score a goal all year?

Who would have ever thought the Islanders would be the team more comfortable playing in front of an empty arena? Oh wait

Lol I know right? “Joe has Igor been out there since the last goal???”

Lol on those replays that’s some kick ass D by a Miller with the stick stretch lol

How is that okay for Eberle to do that? I understand the puck is there but you cant dive into the goalie

Well, Sheshterkin I’d dead

I don’t think Sam is watching this game....

Rooney is hurt. Now can we sign Boyle?

So it’s embellishment for getting punched in the face and unsportsmanlike conduct for closing the door hard? Jesus Christ. That’s nuts

Jesus Christ, valliquette only played. 46 nhl games? For some reason I thought it was more than that
