Isles are terrible in the puck control dept tonight.
Way too many blind passes too. They blew a great opportunity...

Ya gotta bury on the 5 on 3

Have to have a lot more patience on a 5 on 3 than that....keep moving the puck around the perimeter until someone sneaks in and shakes loose....they tried to force it too much.

The Isles are playing some DUMB hockey right now.

The PK continues to be the Isles' Achilles heal........for several years already.

Bring back Richard Park!

Why does this team not play aggressive defense? Why does it not block any shots, at all? Nice to be 4-0, so far, but our GAA needs to be a goal less than it is- a solid goal. Until SOMEONE comes here and INSISTS that they play defense, even at the expense of everything else, this team will not be as good as it can be.

PP horrible and you just knew the Pens would make them pay. PK still has no clue.

Still some real concerns despite being 4-0. GA should be better with the better talent now.

I always thought the rule for too many men was that the player had to be at or on the bench for the other guy to be in the play?

there's simply way too much fumbling with the puck. Missed passes, pucks off sticks, blind passes.... These are all unforced turnovers. You can't do that against a team like that

Let's see if we can wake up in the third. Lot of rushes unsupported and a lot of space between the forwards and the defense. Need to be tighter together and drive the net instead of blindly dropping it or throwing in into the middle when there's no one there.

7 PK goals against in less than 5 games is pathetic

Bottom line: Pittsburghs PP is doing their job. If you don't score on a 5 on 3, you will most likely lose the game.

This is where the coaching concerns come into play.

Seems to me that Downie left his feet

This is two games in a row the other team taking liberties with Isles players. Cannot have this happening all the time.

He has donned his invisibility cloak. He misplaced it over the summer.

Well...he materialized long enough to botch a beautiful feed by Strome...

He waited that extra second.

We look like a team that hasn't practiced with a puck for a week.

How do you not score one PP tonight? JT was really bad tonight. Never saw him make so many bad passes.
