Amazing that they couldn't give Bellows one look playing on that line against the worst team in the league. Instead we get to watch Leo Komarov's attempt at playing functional hockey, which is similar to watching three special needs kids try to (frank) a greased up bowling ball

Well Bellows is a natural left wing. Not really understanding Ladd in his place and Komarov anywhere but the fourth line but whatever. Winning may be the worst thing that happens tonight ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚

I mean they could go down to the Walmart in Westbury and probably scrape some mutant out of the frozen food aisle and have them be a better addition than Ladd

Would it be that bad to have both Otto and Bellows play? Nothing else is working why not try young talent?

Isles really need to get over this fear of playing young talent. These are not 18 year old kids just drafted.

Yeah I donโ€™t get it. Bellows was actually one of the more involved players in this stretch of crap recently. Yet theyโ€™ll roll out the garbage into the top 6 again and sit a kid who is playing well for the biggest trash can in our entire organization. Yeah canโ€™t theorize this one.

He was playing right for his first few games up. Putting Kieffer at RW and forcing him to play with an opposite handed stick would've been better than seeing Leo Komarov in the top-6. Put him at 3C, at least he won't drag down Nelson and Beauvillier there

Might be good to change the channel right after the John Tonelli ceremony.

I get Barry will forget more hockey than I'll ever know but I just do not get these decisions.

Yeah this and in what world would Ladd push Bellows out of the lineup if Bellows didnโ€™t get in the top 6 like you said? Andrew (frank)ing Ladd folks ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚

I guess weโ€™re testing the limits of just how bad we can be. Thatโ€™s all I got.

Full gonzo. This is right up there with Capuano calling up Marty Reasoner for game 1 against the Pens. We of course lost 5-0 and Reasoner was a -5๐Ÿ˜‚

I can only imagine. This honestly looks like an expansion lineup. It looks like a cry for help from Barry.

Honestly though, wtf is Barry supposed to do? They needed to kick the line up in the ass and shake it up. 3 injuries in the bottom 6 Ladd down in BP making 5 mil and Otto playing very well as of late, you gotta try something. With the results of the last 4 games you just canโ€™t keep the same line up out there.

Now a trade would be great but honestly right now with what teams are asking for the top forwards is crazy.
