I'm definitely pleased with what Ulstrom is showing. I think the kid has earned more icetime

Okposo looks out of shape...always behind the play which causes Tavares and Moulson to be out numbered. Capuano just said the JT-Moulson-Okposo line might not be together for much longer. He'll put Boyes in Okposo place but I think Ulstrom might be the better fit...

Hickey looked small,,,played a lousy last 10 minutes of the 3rd period...

Vis should help out our D when he decides to show. Positives are that we are actually getting secondary scoring this year. Negatives are that we are giving up a ton of goals a game

He has been impressive. Isles team defense is far from impressive.

Boyes does not deserve the spot either. I think he may put Ullstrom up and move Boyes to third line.

In what universe?

You're right I'm wrong... sorry!!!

Komi... he has been horrible ever since he left Markov's side.

He's available for his reason!!!

And there is a reason nobody wants him!!!
- jimmc7722

Komisarek isn't the answer...stay with what you have until Visnovski shows up...

Getting the point is not the end of the world. Sucks to have a 2-goal lead and not win, but we were clearly outplayed most of this game.

Don't want to get on Nabby because he kept us in, but he should have stopped Burmistrov's wrister.

They played much better than us tonight and they've started off pretty well this season.

you could easily blame the goal on Keith Aucions turn over, Hickey finished the game even.

KO sat around playing video games...

and watching basketball

Hickey, Strait, and Accion on the ice during the 4 on 4..... no need to say anymore! I mean come on, this team is entertaining but God Damn the guys that are actual NHLer's deserve more. Stop being a sanitation team and taking everyone's trash, or at least make a trade. We all know #8 in Toronto is now available. This team is still below the minimum, get to the floor and get someone in here that has some experience. That was an embarassment, and a lesson in how to carry an egg around the arena and not crack it...... "feel free to stand in front of our net"
- Isleswknowledge

Capuano is playing who he feels deserves it. I don't know about Hickey, but Aucoin and Strait have been solid. Carkner brings muscle but he's a traffic cone out there.

Doesn't KO look slow or is it me? KO will pickup his game the last 10 games of the season when the Islanders are out of it...Ulstrom looks the best to be on the first line...

Sure as heck is better then watching 3 defensemen that have no business being in the NHL (Strait/ Hickey/ Finley)...... Get someone in here that will put a stick or body on on someone when they go through the middle.

- Danformo

He fanned on the pass... cost us the goal.

But... he has played pretty good so far.

The next 4 games will be tough... need @ least 2 wins out of it.

The old Patrick division sure is a tough place to play in!!!

Too bad we couldn't move to another division...

That was a bad goal. Would have been a nice win after Boston and with Pitt and NJ coming up.

KO is slow.... Never has had seperation speed. Until he commits to "grinding" he will not be a factor.

Yea... he does seem a step behind.

Ullstrom is playing well.... he is earning more playing time.

Hickey at best is a 3rd line forward.... no business playing Defense.

oh im not really bagging on him im just stating you cant blame one player for the game
what if moulson never ran into JT to let burmistrov score
what if we scored 3 more goals. its a team loss

Close the book on him after 12 minutes?

he was better than Wishart

- mighty13duck[

Yes close the book on him after 12 minutes and does it matter if he is better the Wishart??? We all know how this chapter ends, with this player seeing approx. 5 to 8 NHL games and then either cut or sent to BPORT until the next Sanitation Pick Up is on the market....
Come on, when will it end? These guys are not good enough to play on in a winning system why should we be stuck with them? Defense is not offense, your not going to find Moulson's or Grabner's.

I think Donovan will be brought up soon. Visnovski says he will be here in two weeks. Two of the three you mentioned will be sent down to Bridgeport.

I think you'll see Donovan up soon...he'll help...after that Visnovski will arrive and he'll help...

I'd rather see Donovan and loose with the unknown, rather then loose with guys that were drafted 6 and 7 years ago and never made it.
