Enjoyable game. Looked a little like playoff hockey. Lines are starting to really come together.
EDM fans say that about McDavid a lot too.Varly was the reason. We don't win without him.
Stepping up in big games. Not finished yet, 5 more big ones leftBarzal best player on the ice for me. Set up several good chances and unlucky on the crossbar.
Werbenjagermanjensen? He was number 1!Smitty
The win percentage is virtually identical.Love the guy but other than this being a low scoring affair this was nothing like Trotz hockey. That would be an insult to all the hard work Roy has put into fixing the Isles game. Breakouts, fast tempo, offensive support, Barzy playing his style of hockey. Players using their skill and not being utilized like pawns on a chessboard. Players playing with confidence trusting their athleticism as Roy has preached time and time again. Not sitting back on a lead or at least trying not to turtle against a good team. Defensemen stepping up to attack incoming rushing offense men. Playing more man on man D and not letting the other team have time to set up and needlessly pelt our goalie with shot after shot. This is everything they should have been doing for the past 6 years and to a T everything that I’ve been asking for. It’s just the right way to play hockey. This is what playing to win looks like. It’s just basic good hockey. I would want them to go into the playoffs playing this way. Not scoring 1 goal and sitting back the rest of the game. Ridiculous! They are no longer playing chess. They are playing hockey. Thank the lord! Feels good huh?
I was there and Varly was not quite super comfortable and confident. In his post game interview he even said as much, including he was lucky and would take being lucky any day. He was good and wound up being where he needed to be for 41 shots, and I’ll take that any day as wellVarly looks to be super comfortable and confident, need that since Sorokin looks to be rattled. Hope they can continue through the last 5 games but hopefully in or out they don’t sit pat on this team come the off season! They need to be reshaped into a more mobile group
I’d start Varly vs the rangers. I’d make him number 1 for rest of regular season…unless he goes bad
As a goalie, you need some luck but when I compare him to his starts after his injury the last 5 he’s in good position to make the stops neededI was there and Varly was not quite super comfortable and confident.

The Isles don’t win with Sorokin in net - that’s clear. And Sorokin ain’t getting any luck his way this season.I was there and Varly was not quite super comfortable and confident.

Just to add that it's not like Roy shows up and suddenly everyone knows his system.Lambert 19-15-11 (19-26) 49 points 45 games
Roy 16-12-4 (16-16) 36 points 32 games
Roy has been better at getting wins as he would only be 3 behind with 13 games in hand. Pace is super close.
The difference in pts per game is like .05Lambert 19-15-11 (19-26) 49 points 45 games

What I meant by pace.The difference in pts per game is like .05
Yeah, I was agreeing with you. Didn't make that super clear.What I meant by pace.
