Saw the replay a bunch if times, he didn't knee to knee him. Trust me, I hate Reasoner and hopefully never plays for the Isles again. But I don't think the hit was dirty.
- NewYawkIslandez

Not bad at all on the replay but definitely wanted to knee him but missed. Can you punish intent?

Aucoin, Finley, Boulton, Stright, Hickey, Reasoner, Poulin...a;; AHLers...do you want me to keep going...
- kear20

Boulton and Finley didnt play...
Who is this "Stright?" If you mean Strait... He played on Pitt last year in the NHL for a while. They didnt wanna put him on waivers but had too.

Reasoner isnt an AHL player... He is an NHL player that should of retired.
Poulin is the back-up goalie... The NHL goalie played like sh!t.

Aucoin hasnt been great but hasnt been bad either for the Isles.
Hickey has been decent.

Keep going... Cuz the other AHLers have been good... Cizikis, McDonald, Martin, Okposo, MacDonald, Hamonic. They all came from the AHL.

Was Reasoner taking his instructions from Sensei John Kreese?
- UIF

I think Sensei John Kreese would have been a better lineup choice.

I don't think it was intentional but at the very least it was tripping. He slid his skate out a bit preparing for the hit but didn't line it up well. Dangerous none the less.! Pens took care of business, the Isles gave up after the 3rd goal, which of course came off a Reasoner penalty

Only bright side is I didn't buy the BeLieve shirt

Having Reasoner play this game is not punishment enough?

If Jack puts Boulton in for game 2 Ruff better be the coach in game 3.

Carkner and Boulton in for probably Hickey (or Stright) and Reasoner...book it...

Wow, was that disappointing.

Throw that stinker in the trash, and go with the lineup that got them here.

We got em right where we want em!!

Rocky put up a much better fight in his loss during the first movie. This is not going according to our carefully laid out plan in the other thread.

they need to bench Boyes... let JT & MM just play a man down... it will help them

I'd put Strome there...he can't do any worse than Boyes...

So basically after the Reasoner hit... They just threw out everyone that was on the ice...

Reasoner, Hamonic, Moulson, Cizikis, Murray, Dupuis and Iginla...

Boulton and Finely didnt play...
Who is this "Stright?" If you mean Strait... He played on Pitt last year in the NHL for a while. They didnt wanna put him on waivers but had too.

Reasoner isnt an AHL player... He is an NHL player that should of retired.
Poulin is the back-up goalie... The NHL goalie played like poop.

Aucoin hasnt been great but hasnt been bad either for the Isles.
Hickey has been decent.

Keep going... Cuz the other AHLers have been good... Cizikis, McDonald, Martin, Okposo, MacDonald, Hamonic. They all came from the AHL.
- Bags502

Most of them won't be on the team in 2 years...

Tough to throw him in against a team like this in his first ever NHL game

I spent 200 on tix if this is the effort or score sunday im going to be mad
- mighty13duck

Might not win on Sunday but I think that will be the best game of the series...

By the time they are in Brooklyn, they will be a totally different team...alot of these guys won't even be on the team...

Carkner and Boulton in for probably Hickey (or Stright) and Reasoner...book it...
- kear20

I'm sure that would make the game fun to watch but Carkner is maybe the slowest player in the NHL.

Not to get too off topic here, but with Yormark running the business side if things when the Isles move to Brooklyn, anyone else think its pretty much a lock that Wang is selling to Yormark/Ratner?

- kear20

And this means nothing right now...

This team.. just showed up to the first playoff game in 6 years (and most of the players first playoff game of their lives) with no desire, will, motivation or heart.

By the time the Isles are in Brooklyn they should be a better team but there will be some of those players on that team... Wang isnt gonna bring this team to the top of the cap.

So instead of losing 5-0 we lose 8-0.
- ses111

Capuano said there will be some lineup changes in game 2...two of the following will be in the lineup the next game...either Carner, Martinek, Boulton or Lee...

I always thought Charles would sell to the Nets people.

that's because Moulson and Boyes are terrible. Put JT on a line with Bailey and KO. Move Moulson to second line and pp only. Put Boyes to the third line.
- mighty13duck

No. Sit Boyes. We need Nino and Strome in the lineup NOW.
