So glad we finally got to play without Coburn. This improvement is what I like to see. Get rid of that piece of dead weight.
- jmatchett383

They actually played pretty well when Coburn was out earlier in the season...Grossmann had been the better player overall this year, so perhaps his absence hurts even more...needless to say, having them both out is not good for anyone, save the tankers.

will this work for firefox? your link if for google chrome, no?

Remember when he was scoring short handed goals and not getting burnt by them?

Tough year for Matt Read.

Absolutely -- and it's not a crime to be injured and sit. I admire courage and tenacity, but at some point, call a spade a spade.

You've got three goals -- three freaking goals. Less than, as noted, Chris Vandevelde.

If you're hurt, then you need to sit -- because clearly you just aren't helping the team.

But he was making the line work a few months ago. He's still really good, he's just injured. He'll turn it around and be fine. No way we should take him out of the lineup.

Oh, sorry. I thought we were talking about Steve Downie.

I dont even know what to say right now.

1. Couturier is a -5 and the excuses are there "it wasnt his fault". At some point its okay to say he had a bad game.
2. The PK is the worst of any team in the league in the past 20 years.
3. Simmonds , disappears once again, at ES.
4. Berube appears to have the fire and passion of wet sand.
5. The D is atrocious. Streit would be a great number 3 dman but he is playing number 1 mins.
6. Nothing about this team seems intense. Nothing. Its horrible and I dont know how you fix it. Maybe we should keep throwing lukewarm cups of oatmeal out there like lines 3 and 4.
7. Carlo got hurt.
8. I cant think of a single thing that Matt Read brings to the lineup right now that warrants his still being in the lineup.

This team sucked even under Lavy last year. Remember "worst traning camp ever?" I think this team knows they suck, that's the problem.

let this mother(frank)er burn this year, and right the ship through the draft and FA market.

Did CC get hurt? I said there would be no way he would last until Grossmann, Coburn got back.

ouch we've turned read into steve downie

Damn... negative much?

Nope, just realistic.

Yeah he stepped on a stick blade in an awkward manner.
It could have hurt anyone but it looked like he blew up his glass made girl bits.

How much do you say when you feel chatty?

- KGBflyers10

who do we sign?

he was particularly brutal today
- -davies-

Let's be honest, here: There's a (frank)-ton of games where he's been below the bar and approaching brutal

You can't just keep running him out there like this, if he's hurt. Because he's just not doing nearly enough to help you

well well well look who's here to harvest sorrow
- -davies-

If y'all had given up on the season in September like I told ya, youse wouldn't be so upset today.

Some of us see the train coming and wave politely as it goes by, some grab the caboose and try to make it stop and some just like to bounce between it and the tracks until it comes to a station.

My bandwagon had plenty of room when I offered you a hand up...

This forum is all I have to talk hockey about..

My neighbor keeps crying that "Giroux is the problem and why cant they just trade someone to get Brodeur out of New Jersey"

Only got to catch the 3rd. Safe to assume that was the best period?

ya they started playing after it was over
more likely the islanders were playing not to get hurt
