The
Lee-Nelson-Strome line came out flying in the first period and Grabovski
continues to look strong. Lee belongs on
this team. Skille made a good impression
again tonight with his skating and sticking up for Brennan for the Bellmore
mugging. Hickey is quietly become a
pillar of the developing Isles defense.
Loved the grit the team showed tonight, especially the Martin, Cizikas,
Clutterbuck line.
It
is still early, but the Isles need to be much better on special teams. Tavares, Okposo & Halak seem to be
struggling to find their top gear. The
Isles had their chances, but they couldn’t
put it all together and mount another comeback. I think they'll be fine.
They
will get another chance on Friday in Brooklyn against the Devils.
