Moosehead Player of the Game

Ehlers I guess. He did get an assist and got most of his shots through.

Thing That Annoyed Me

Hard to get mad since the Mooseheads were shut out (for the most part) by the Islanders. That second PP unit though was bad.

Game Notes

• The Islanders deserve credit for shutting down the Mooseheads  for most of the game.
• In particular, goalie Mason McDonald and forward Kameron Kielly. McDonald for his 36 save performance. Kielly for his shorthanded play (dude was blocking everything).
• Did you now?: If your last name was Moynihan you were allowed all the zone entries in the third (4 carry-in, 1 dump-in)
• As usual, Ehlers and Gadoury led the way in carry-ins.
• Big moment of the game: Ehlers gets clocked reaching for the puck, Meier steps in seconds later and fights Henley (the guy who delivered the hit). Video of the whole thing is below. I don't have any problems with the events. My issue though is the refs giving Meier 2 misconduct penalties. Usually an event like this warrants an instigator/fighting/misconduct combo for 17 PIMS. Meier, for whatever reason got an extra misconduct (27 PIMS in total) which effectively ending his night (there was about 22 minutes left).
• Just after this incident (while the penalties were being figured out), McDonald went over and slashed at Ehlers feet while he was playing with the puck in the faceoff dot. While what McDonald did was dumb, it also brings up this question: What the heck was Ehlers doing over at the faceoff dot and not at the bench like every other skater on the ice.
