Slim CliffyHOST
Um, so Jacob Trouba.
Slim CliffyHOST
Under 3K, I mean, with no Alex Romanov, I imagine a few more minutes are gonna have... or a couple more minutes are gonna go to Ryan Pulock.
Slim CliffyHOST
I didn't watch the game the other night, but I guess Artem Lyubimov played extremely well, uh, in Chicago's home opener.
Slim CliffyHOST
Whether he does so again or not here tonight, he's under 3K.
CliffHOST
Um, so Jacob Trouba.
CliffHOST
Under 3K, I mean with no Alex Romanov I imagine a few more minutes are gonna have... or a couple more minutes are gonna go to Ryan Pulock.
CliffHOST
I didn't watch the game the other night, but I guess Artem Lavrentiev played extremely well, uh, in Chicago's home opener.
CliffHOST
Whether he does so again or not here tonight, he's under 3K.
Matt MarcheseHOST
I do think, I mean, every single Islander besides Logan Stanley w- had a minus goal differential.
Matt MarcheseHOST
Pelech minus one, Pulock minus one, Romanov minus one, D'Angelo minus one, Schaeffer minus two.
Matt MarcheseHOST
Um, and, you know, I do think the defense looked okay early on in the game.
Matt MarcheseHOST
They were closing gaps well.
Matt MarcheseHOST
Uh, no complaints by Romanov.
Matt MarcheseHOST
Pelech looked fine enough.
Matt MarcheseHOST
Pulock, though, has also just been horrible to start the season for the New York Islanders, and especially in this game.
Matt MarcheseHOST
He was really, really bad, Pulock, making bad decisions.
Patrick NilanHOST
Romanov is not gonna be a, a, a core piece at least, uh, at least two, two years down the line, right? I think he can still be a piece for this team, right, but he's not gonna be one of those core guys, right, when we talk about Aitchison, Gustafsson, like Schafer, uh, Pul- uh, Pelech, or whoever they replace him with.
Patrick NilanHOST
But, uh, what is clear, though, is this season, looking at this defensive corps, I would say Romanov is the third-best defenseman on this team, right? Looking at the pairs, um, it's been really apparent to me that Ryan Pulock does not have it, at least to the level that he did last season.
Patrick NilanHOST
A- and that's a little concerning, right? Because I felt like last year he did not really have it.
Patrick NilanHOST
But looking at this top, uh, six for the New York Islanders, if Romanov is out for any period of time, this is a major blow, right? I think that even though it wasn't the strongest game for them, I think that Pelech-Schafer pair is absolutely fine.
Patrick NilanHOST
Um, he got exposed on some of those plays, plays that probably 9 times out of 10 he makes pretty cleanly, right? I'm not concerned about it.
Patrick NilanHOST
I don't think there's any reason to be concerned about this top pair.
Patrick NilanHOST
Uh, the concern comes where if Romanov is missing any points in time, I don't know if you can hold that pair together, right? And I think there are a lot of options what you can do if, if he is going to have to miss a game, right? You can always call Isaiah George up, move Stanley up, and kind of have Stanley as your second pair defenseman for Ryan Pulock.
Patrick NilanHOST
But this is where the conversation gets really tough with the Islanders' defense.
Patrick NilanHOST
And if I was going to rank the Islanders defensemen on this, the lineup, right, talk about who the best defenseman were, um, my list would have been Matthew Schaffer, Adam Pelech, and then Alexander Romanov.
Patrick NilanHOST
And a big drop-off before we get to Pulock, uh, Tony D'Angelo, uh, Stanley.
Patrick NilanHOST
This is gonna be a big blow for the Islanders.
Patrick NilanHOST
You have people right now talking about how, "Oh, he's overrated," blah, blah, blah, bad contracts.
Patrick NilanHOST
Obviously, Romanov, Romanov takes priority here.
Patrick NilanHOST
But I do wanna kinda go into what the defensive pairs are going to look like without him and why I'm so concerned for the New York Islanders moving forward.
Patrick NilanHOST
As you can tell, these are not good pairs, right? Matthew Schaffer, Ryan Pulock.
Patrick NilanHOST
We saw this pair last year.
Marc DenisGUEST
So Mike Matheson has the toughest assignments.
Marc DenisGUEST
I mean, two years ago, it was only Pulock.
Marc DenisGUEST
He was second in the league.
Marc DenisGUEST
This year, he's leading in, in, in, in pucks poked checked and passes cut, again, uh, throughout the NHL with Kirill Andre Miller is gonna, he's gonna be playing against tonight.
Marc DenisGUEST

Stefen RosnerGUEST
But also, you know, with the way DeBoer wants to go about a fourth line and treats it more of as an offensive-based fourth line, having ...
Stefen RosnerGUEST
You know, I thought Duclair and Pulock played really well.
Stefen RosnerGUEST
I f- I was really impressed by Duclair in Toronto, but we know how Duclair operates.
Stefen RosnerGUEST
He'll show four, five, six games of this high energy, high offensive octane kind of hockey.
Stefen RosnerGUEST
I think they looked a little, you know, Stanley looked a little more comfortable.
Stefen RosnerGUEST
Still some flaws.
Stefen RosnerGUEST
I think Romanov and Pulock, again, still some flaws with Romanov working his way back.
Stefen RosnerGUEST
But for the first time under DeBoer, even through preseason, like everyone was in the right place it seemed for their fit.
Arthur StapleHOST
I thought they were fine last night.
Arthur StapleHOST
Romanov, Pulock, not so great last night-
Sean CuthbertHOST
Yeah
Arthur StapleHOST
...
Arthur StapleHOST
This kid understands the assignment.
Arthur StapleHOST
So, uh, I think we're gonna see him be part of the six sooner rather than later, whether it's this season or next season.
Arthur StapleHOST
And having Schaffer on the right, you can sort of project down the road that if Kayshon Acheson can play those, those big minutes and be able to keep up, you could see those two being a pair somewhere down three, four years from now, or at the very least, Acheson slots in maybe where Logan Stanley is and you've suddenly got a six where you're saying like, "All right, got two guys under the age of 22." Maybe you can add some more guys into that mix as the years go on and start to look like how it used to look when the wave of the, you know, even the current guys, the Pelechs and the Pulocks and Mayfields and Toews were all coming through after spending their time in the AHL and coming up to the big club, and you were saying, "This is a team that's got a promising future on defense.
Arthur StapleHOST
We're gonna need to reload that and make it look like that again, uh, in the coming years."
PhilHOST
Let me prove to him that I can be that guy and play with the players that I need to play with in order to get back to that.
PhilHOST
Um, you know, it was funny kinda saying that where it's [laughs] it was like, well, Brunette spoke extensively to me about how I can, you know, get Duclair to be that, and then it's like, well, he's gonna be with Suzzuchi and Pulock.
PhilHOST
Like, what? He's with Verhaeghe and Barkov.
PhilHOST
Like, [laughs] that's-
JackHOST
Tha- that didn't look good to me.
JackHOST
Um-
PhilHOST
I didn't think Pulock looked great.
JackHOST
I didn't think so either.
