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.

It was a joke.

blame Kulemin or Bailey?
- DDM-Coga

neither...id say conacher. he can sit.

Oh umm errr

neither...id say conacher. he can sit.
- LetsGoIsles

Eh he hasn't been that bad I don't think. Plenty of others who have been worse

Why is Clutterbuck on the second line? Anyone?

I hope he sticks with Tavares since I have him on my fantasy team. He has been an anchor on that line or is he looking decent? I'm afraid that Anders Lee will eventually get called up at his expense.

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

if bailey scores 41 goals will you be satisfied?

yes but when factoring in EVERYTHING, him and mcdonald are the most expendable

thats the problem being "not bad" isn't what the isles need on tavares line. Lee is killing it in the ahl and should be in conachers spot.

hes been fine, neither outstanding or slowing anyone down. hes been gettin gin the dirty areas and great forechecking.

i just want anders up on that line because he does all that and more.

he has two goals playing on the third line which is more of a defensive line. He's doing fine so far. Seems to be playing aggressively.

I don't see much of a spot for Conacher if he doesn't work out on the top line. The second line is kinda set and I don't know if he'd fit anywhere else in the lineup.

You could always pounce on Lee via the waiver wire if he gets called up to take Cory's spot

I don't know he still seems lacked to me. I don't go by goals. I look at the whole work effort. He will score his usual 8 goals. I just don't see much heart with him. He needs to play to his size and he don't. Once he figures that out and not scared to get dirty he will be a way better effective player

I agree with Anders he would make that line a million times better cause he sits in front of the net and gets those dirty goals

yes but when factoring in EVERYTHING, him and mcdonald are the most expendable
- LetsGoIsles

I say more Mcdonald then Conacher at this point though

if bailey scores 41 goals will you be satisfied?
- LetsGoIsles

It is not about goals with me. It is about all around effort

4-3 isles
Strome JT Nelson and Nielson with the goals.

Career?lol

Six foot 190. HE needs to play like that. Not like he is 5 foot weighing like 80 pounds

- kasperrko

i think bailey gets an A for effort

btw- no team in the history of sports has won a game because they out-efforted the opposition. goals win games.

I be shocked if he gets that

I disagree Bailey has showed much more this year. With that being said I think he has to step up another notch. With the exception of Halak no islander players showed any battle level against pitts.

Actually defense and goaltending win games. Just ask the DEvils when they won their cups. Ask the Rangers last year. If you have a goalie and defense who are lights out then you really just need one or two goals to win

Bailey looked great last year too the first couple of weeks into the season. then he will go invisible until the last month.
