    Why'd they go with Montoya and not dipietro? Is he hurt or something? Thought he was good in the preseason

    dipietro isnt hurt (yet)
    coach said he simply went with his gut feeling with regards to his decision to start montoya.

    speaking of gut feelings , I have one that is telling me the isles are working on something fairly big.

    Montoya will start again today against the Wild. Strome will be a healthy scratch again. http://nyislanderscentral.blogspot.com/
    I can't promise I'll try but I'll try to try.

    Better believe it. Montoya was excellent last year when given the starter job. Looks like the coach will give him an opportunity to carry on. He's good enough to stick.

    I know its only been 2 games but I like how calm and cool Al looks out there considering the different type of pressure on him compared to last year.

    ya, this is not what i expected? with al starting the first two games
    how are they going to trade nabby if they don't showcase him?
    I can see Al is playing awesome but how much are they paying
    Dipietro?

    Something is up. IMO

    dipietro makes 4.5 per , montoya & nabby make near minimum.

    add it up and its 5.5 invested in goaltending which is possibly lower than what most teams tandems cost.

    if you rolled the dice on any of the isles goaltenders hoping for immediate clarity on who's playing when and how often you gambled at the wrong table.

    Strome back to OHL. Not surprising given he's been a healthy scratch every game.

    Montoya in goal tonight, Nabokov backing up. DiPietro still being evaluated. Niederreiter, Jurcina still out. Gillies likely off IR. #Isles

    Another 4-point game for Tavares. Wow. So far most of the scoring is from the Tavares line: Tavares, Moulson and Parenteau have combined for 19 points through 4 games. For all you Parenteau nay-sayers: he already has 7 points. It's early but this line is clicking.
    I can't promise I'll try but I'll try to try.
