Dan Petriw: Isles Leafs preview and Anders Lee on his season

It still pisses me off that Lee is in the AHL. He fits so perfectly in our top 9. Size skill and drives to the net. It's time to drop mcdonald and find room for Lee. The longer they leave him there the longer we will lack that big body in front of the net that makes life hell for opposing defensemen. He should be with the team now.

I don't disagree

blame Kulemin or Bailey?

It's nothing Lee did wrong, I just hope the kid understands that, it's a stupid numbers game that will clear itself up eventually and only make this team better.

Neither right now, they have both been good

Lee needs to be put on the top line he can be a pest just like conacher, he's big and can play in front of the net. And he also has the skill to rack up more goals with JT and Ok then conacher can. I like conacher but I think he should be put down on the third line until grabo returns then probably the fourth line once grabo returns.

blame Kulemin or Bailey?
- DDM-Coga

kulemin has been a solid player for us and bailey, right now, is playing well as a third line winger. I'd much rather see Lee with JT and KO and have conacher filling in for injuries or taking a spot on the fourth line.

Yes and two of them didn't look one bit out of place in NHL. And they competing against a league full of Colin Macdonalds. Along with Mayfield we should one of best defenses in AHL.

Btw, I look at Bernier and Reimers GAA, there isn't any reason why we should pulverize TORONTO tonight. Clutterbuck or Martin should hit Lopul as hard as he can. Then you need to just neutralize the 1st line and Kadri on 2nd line,

this is one of the most ridiculous arguments ive ever seen on here; talk about looking at it only from the isles perspective.

how is it that the islanders are the ones with the nhl-ready players but the competition are colin mcdonalds??

Also only one of the defenseman he listed has played in the NHL and I would hardly say that Reinhart "did not look out of place". Which is fine.

Why is Clutterbuck on the second line? Anyone?

Deterrence for hitting JT! For teh gritz! sending a message to Strome! (additional played out story line)!

Hey.

Why is Clutterbuck on the second line? Anyone?
- Cptmjl

I hate that they're using him there. He shoots without exception and with no regard to how unlikely it is that his 80 ft wrist shot won't go in. He won't pass to his linemates and isn't any good in the offensive zone. He's a fourth liner who can play on the PK. That's it.

I'm not your guy, buddy.

I don't know what the love fest for Bailey is. the guy is so soft. He is so bad the opposing team leaves him wide open half the time cause they know they wont have to worry about him scoring or doing anything with the puck. Every time he is out there I cringe. He plays with no heart and plays like he is in high school, but there is good ole JAck throwing him out there non stop. I mean maybe he likes his battle level but against Pittsburgh Bailey was brutal. Time to say bye bye to the trash

Sending a message to Strome? Why does JAck send messages to certain players and not others? Makes no sense. Leave STrome alone and keep Clutterbuck on the fourth line where he belongs.
