Bailey just scored! whoooo! Despite that people think he didnt live up to his potential but I still think he can be really good!

Agree completely. I always felt it was a lack of confidence and consistency with him.

2-0 isles and winnipeg ties up their game with the rangers at 1-1. This could be a good night. I'll start watching the Isles when I get home from work for the second period, so if they tank from there you can blame me.

wooo....he got knocked the (frank) out

Martin knew right away he hurt him.... Knockout
Hope the kid is okay..

Martin, rightfully so, getting some love on twitter for checking on Kostopoulous and waiving over the Devils trainer after that fight. Can't wait until the next time I hear someone call him some dirtbag goon

He used to think too much with the puck- also think that being on that line, being more responsible for defense takes his mind off worrying about scoring.

PS- My offer for Vanek is any two prospects other than Strome or Reinhart, plus our first round pick. Don't want to get too crazy. Just saying that if they bite, I'm not losing any sleep over Niederreiter and one of the defensive prospects....you have to give to get.

PPS-.....and that's why I don't trade Matt Martin for any reason.

All cautious optimism from me re: Bailey. We've seen him play awesome for stretches before. If he doesn't disappear for 3x as long I'll start to believe.

How many times do the isles just give up the puck.....they need to stop those dead plays. That gives the other teams a chance to create something...

Still a good first.....how sick was that fransy backhand sauce pass ?

Sorry to interrupt your game talk, but have news that by tomorrow morning prospect Andrey Pedan will be in Bridgeport and have his EL contract signed. What a great kid and I really hope that he becomes a big part of the Isles blue line in the coming years. Treat him well Isles fans!!!!
