Killorn gets a game for that hit--that's probably fair, though I would've been fine if he had gotten more.
Side note: How close are all the youngsters currently in the Isles stable? They have a better prospect stable than I thought, especially since Pronman just recently ranked it pretty low (27th I think). They got Wahlstrom and Bellows coming in up front, and then on the back end Dobson (who should be playing NOW unless he's hurt...Andy Greene can't possibly be doing well for them) and then down the road in a year or two they got Bolduc and Wilde. And of course, Sorokin is gonna be in the NHL next season. Beyond that, is there anyone I missed?
I'm glad Killorn got a game. At this point of the season I'm surprised he got that much. I know he's not a typically dirty player, but that was a fucking dangerous hit. For Goodrow to get nothing is bullshit though.
Wahlstrom and Bellows- mehhhhh. They are okay but haven't really impressed at the NHL level. The last Isles forwards to come out of Bridgeport with any promise were Lee and Nelson, like 6 years ago. Thompson just isn't developing forwards. Dmen to play about a year there- Pulock, Pelech and Toews. So he's doing well with D. But they haven't been able to call up a forward and have them stick in a long time. Koivula at C is okay. But he certainly didn't impress at the NHL level. Just remembered he'd only moved to C last year though, so he's still got some learning to do.
EL- the Isles sucked donkey at the end of the regular season, once they lost Pelech. That probably counted a lot against Trotz. And having Andrew Ladd play last night may not have been factored in, but it would have if the voting hadn't happened yet. What the fucking fuck was he thinking? How much of a kick in the balls was that loss? My filthy, disgusting Ranger fan friends are saying they feel bad for the Isles!!! Fucking Ranger fans feeling sorry for the Isles, and not like "haha, you losers lost Tavares!" feeling sorry. Like full on, "duuuuuuude, that sucks! I felt so bad for them. 2-0 to Tampa?"
So yeah. Game 3 tomorrow. Should I just put my balls into a vice grip now or wait until their first PP?
