The Islanders are at home again to play host to the Montreal Canadiens tonight. The Habs are riding a 8-0-3 stretch that has just featured them beating the Boston Bruins a few days ago.
The game featured some controversy with Alexei Emelin breaking his stick over Tyler Seguin’s ribs before getting a Slovakian feeding from Zdeno Chara, who was handed a game misconduct for his thrashing.
The Isles are fresh off a win after snapping a three-game skid against the Ottawa Senators on Sunday afternoon. Thanks to John Tavares’ slick shootout moves, the Islanders can now focus on getting into the playoffs vice the top three pick. The win proved to the players, staff and fans that they can grind out a win at home, which was something that was a question mark all season.
The Isles are 5-4-1 in their last ten games so it’s not as bad as it could be if the Isles can string together a stretch of points, but the Canadiens are no simple task. Here are three keys for tonight’s game.
Three Keys:
1.Keep Skating: The Canadiens are a very fast hockey team so there is no situation where players should be at a standstill in this game.
2.Engage Board Play: Get the puck in behind the defensemen and make them work for it. Montreal is a chippy team only when things are going their way. The Habs are a very emotional hockey team with a defensive core that is easily upset. The Isles have to get in the dirty areas tonight.
3.Limit East to West Chances: Evgeni Nabokov is very delayed when he has to move East to West. He’s been making saves but only due to opposing players not putting the puck where they want to. Get bodies and sticks in the passing lanes before Nabby’s luck runs out.
Speed is the key for the Canadiens, so the Islanders have to match it. With John Tavares battling the flu it might be a good idea for Capuano to limit him to 10-13 minutes tonight in the first two and roll the lines to keep his top players fresh for the third period.
Carey Price will be between the pipes tonight so it’s essential that the Islanders draw crowds around the puck in the offensive zone to free up the slot. The Canadiens are a good shot blocking team so they need to create an opening in the middle of the ice by drawing people away from the slot. The Isles D will need to get pucks through in this game, unlike the last where Ottawa blocked many shots, and dig hard for the rebounds.
When you’re playing one of the best teams in the league you have to dig deep, get in the dirty areas and fight hard on every shift. The Islanders should come into this game with confidence after their grinding win over Ottawa and the win against Montreal earlier this year and apply a winning mentality from the start of the game. That being said, a slow start could sink the Islanders before this game even exits the first period.

Hockey is quicker, more emotional, requires more ability of each player, and overall is a better sport than American-style football. I'm British we give you top quality coursework writing help uk. I truly enjoy football but I grew up in northern Minnesota watching hockey. And I love hockey.
Sports and games have a major part and role in our professional and personal life. Like we see that every school, college, in fact, the university are getting motivated their students to take part in the games, sports, and extra curriculum activities because everyone knows that life is not like a bed of rose and everyone should have to get ready for the problems, difficulties, and their solutions, and in the student's life, students learning totally depend on the basic two things one is the diploma assignments writing while other things in the sport and the games in the student's life.
