Casey played real well, JT, Nelson, Casey, Halak and Tito were my top 5.

They won but honestly they won't win against the upper echelon teams in the league the way they played on the defensive side of the puck imho. They need to tighten things up, please.

It's really disappointing. I was hoping Weight would put a real system in place with concrete structure. So far it looks like the same old crap that Crappy had them playing.

Anybody go to The Rags thread and ask that short stupid dack sucking Rangerdanger where's he's been.

I wonder what The Rags Corsi 5x5 was last night

Interesting as I thought Nelson looked good yesterday. I do not like Barzal with Bailey.

JS can help you he's real good with a hammer

7's wife must have told him she liked getting hammered by me....

Nelson played with some snarl after getting hit or slashed. I don't know where you hide Bailey......... other than the press box.

Isles players just have to slash Nelson at the pregame skate. I do not want Bailey infecting Barzal. Put the kid line together and Nelson with Ladd and Bailey.

A+.

I think Kulemin-Nelson-Clutterbuck could actually be a pretty solid line. I like Cizikas centering Beauvillier and Ho-Sang, too...he'll help keep things moving toward the net on offense and can set an example defensively. Who knows if they stick with this for the game tomorrow, but I kind of like these lines.

I'm not crazy about them. I know Nelson is a favorite whipping boy, but he's been 4th or 5th in points on the team for the last three years. He deserves more ice time than what he will see on the 4th line.

Actually it was how you handled my hammer

I had a good friend that used to purposely piss me off about 15 minutes before we played any sport just to make me more aggressive. It took me a while to figure out what he was doing. The funny thing is it still worked even after I did because he could be so annoying.

No noticeable turnovers, great first passes for clears.

In the ozone he needs a bit of work, but thus far I haven't said "S***" when he had the puck.

I can only see maybe Casey, Cal, and Boychuk doing it to Nelson on this team.

I agree with you and Weight.

We got shalacked one game and he was terrible in it and won one game. Not sure if "so far" is the best wording for this unless you mean 1 game
