here's the funny part, up to the trade deadline, the isles schedule is tough, including the 2 prior losses and upcoming games. The Isles should sell off bc this team is not a playoff team ( just look at the horrible D ) and the ironic part is that after the trade deadline the schedule appears to be easy. And this team will probably win most of those games, and fall short. ( Ruin the chances of Seth Jones )

then some ppl will complain that the Isles should have added talent instead of subtract...

but heres reality....this team can not check or even block shots, 2 important factors that is needed in the playoffs......

The season was over when they lost to Ottawa... bring on the trade deadline, draft, and free agency.

Brooklyn here we come!!!

100% correct. Someone was talking about leaving bcs there was'nt enough hockey talk. As far as I'm concerned there was too much talk going on about hockey today, you guys need to slow your roll. We are islander fans why the hell are you guys talking about hockey?

Battle level is 100%.
Pens battle level = Wilkes barre Scranton

Okposo with a nice self-check.. Totally eliminated himself from the play

well, I hear there's a little traffic on the Meadowbrook Pkwy, (Pkwy=parkway, abbreviated for those who weren't sure what it meant) so that will test their pre-game battle level. Let's hope there aren't major backups....they might blow their battle level before game time....

Martin's fight helped. I hope Martin is planning on fighting again in the 3rd period and every third period the rest of the way.

Boy they look like they're running out of steam here in the second...slower and sloppier than the first so far.

edit -- and there's the goal against...

Lol...you should get plenty of mileage from that one!

Bailey says Martin is the "heartbeat" of the team. Wonder what Reasoner is?

And a late goal. Why was there not 4 Isles back on D with the lead late in the period? This 1st line cannot play D to save their lives.

Jim, you crack me up

No more Grabner on the pk? Guess Cappy wants him fresh for the fourth line

Looks like Cappy's getting the ol' clipboard out for JT.
