Good 🌄, Gil, how are you? Good 🌄, Zach Martin, welcome to Locked On Islanders. The Islanders did a fine job in the draft, and Lou Lamoriello didn't trade Cole Eisernman. Zach Martin's right about one thing, just because you were drafted in the first round that doesn't mean you're automatically going to make the team. Kyle McLane has potential to be a Bottom 6 Forward. The Islanders have Patrick Roy as Head Coach to start the season, and if they stay healthy, they have a chance. The Hurricanes are a #2 team. Never underestimate any team in The Metro Division because stuff happens. Don't forget about those dreaded Rangers, and don't forget about The Panthers either. Hear from you later, Gil, and LET'S GO ISLANDERS.
Gil,
I believe the Islanders will finish first in the Metro. Rangers take a step back. Devils improved but there is still something missing. Canes the bottom falls out. I don’t think people are understanding the Patty effect. With improved offensive and defensive system the Islanders will be 1st in Metro.
NO a middling w card at best not improving isles are not passing anyone. Isles should be more worried about teams berhind them making moves and improving like habs, wings, sabres. How has this team improved? By adding another average forward in duclair? Isles once again sink or swim with basically the same unexciting roster. So NO isles wont pass canes who will still have rob b. and will play fast pressure hockey and some good d.
Think the Canes have the advantage with offensive firepower and defense, Goaltending if Sorokin comes back to top form I will give the Islanders a slight edge on Goaltending. Coaching I am a big Patrick Roy and Rod Brind'Amour fan so push there. Still, think the Canes are more likely to be in the playoffs. Great Podcast guys! LGI
I've already bought all my isles tickets. I'll be there cheering them on regardless. I have to be honest tho, Lou hasn't done nearly enough. So I will not be surprised if Philly and Buffalo rise in the East, perhaps Pittsburgh as well, and the Isles will sink. Or at best, stumble into playoffs as a wildcard and do nothing – a repeat of the last season.
Did he say getting Eiserman at 20 is pretty good. Really? It’s amazing getting a top 12 guy at 20. He shouldn’t have been there.
