The guy is soft. He sees pressure coming and usually throws the puck to anyone near him. He usually wants to play hockey without contact.

He is soft...........as is Bailey.........as is Nelson.

Yep. Lots of panic passing with those 3. Sometimes Bailey gets so nervous he does his "does anyone want this" pass and the puck goes 4 feet and dies.

Does Eberle EVER win a battle along the boards?

Isles were better off letting him walk. Guy never makes a big play.

Still think a 2nd round pick was a bad price for him, but he's been rock solid. If he were a right-shot I think he'd have pushed Boychuk out of the lineup.

That 2nd round pick is one of the reasons Isles should try to keep Greene if possible.

Bob.looks sharp which isnt great when isles can barley score as is. Good forecheck by cal there and pinch by mayfield

Was soft Bailey in the corner there taking a hit and drawing a penalty? Nah couldn’t have been

Isles need more than just the 4th line to play physical.

Ha! Must have been working out in those chains.

At least Beau is shooting. Wonder how long Barry keeps that 1st line together?

Beau probably wants another crack at that wide open net

I'll give him a pass. He is one of the few forwards showing anything.

Notice pp2 has started both powerplays as the 13 27 7 line is bad so far

Yup, THOSE chains.

They are horrible. They can't keep the puck in the offensive zone.

Hopefully Lou uses him as trade sweetener to unload some cap. Not a fan of Ebs.

Talk about false advertising.

Wahlstrom in for Eberle next game. Just kidding Barry.

I've been waiting sooo long for Trotz to make adjustments on the first line and the PP. Both squads.

The Isles play picked up a little bit, but it obvious that the Panthers want it more right now.

Well, the bright side is that the Isles were badly outplayed, and they're only down a goal.

Wahlstrom isn't available. He's busy painting numbers on lottery balls.

Hopefully Barry will be a lot quicker with the adjustments than he was in that Canes series.
