Are you worried that Bailey will read this board and get his feelings hurt?

Casey. I think he could use a goal.

He could Jimmy. Martin is carry that line. I'm just thrilled this is the first year in the playoffs the 4th line is really adding offense.

Did they win? Why focus on that. Because it’s Bailey. Let’s move on because I’m done with this really. Dealt with it for years on here.

Hey 7, I'm not arguing, just talking. I said he's played great these playoffs, and has been playing as a top 6 forward...but, his mistakes are always glaring. I'm happy he's an Islander, but I think if he's traded, we can improve our team...that's just my opinion

I’m getting over it now. But if they would have somehow tied it and won, holy poop, what a momentum changer that would have been.

I hope 7 reads this, but the Bs line has been their best. Yes, the line with Bailey.

I read it.

If you had a square ass you would poop bricks.

It didn’t cost us the game. Move on we (frank)ing won

Trotz just said this was our worst game of the playoffs. I would still put game 3 against Florida up as number one, but he’s not really that wrong.

Cappy would have planned the parade after the first Florida win.

Let’s trade him, Nelson, Eberle and let’s dig back a bit and trade Pelech because he was also shat according to the GMs on here. Varly sucks too.
it’s not you cdn it’s just years of reading the same old shat on here and it doesn’t end even when they are a game away from the ECF.
You can’t make this shat up.

Doesn’t want them to get comfortable.
Toughest game is the clinching game and he doesn’t want them to feel at ease, there’s work to be done.

The Flyer fans are, maybe justifiably, already planning their offseasons, but these games have been closer than they’re giving them credit for. I want to see 4 in the win column before I get too happy.
Gotta go to work soon, gotta charge the phone a bit, let’s end this Tuesday!

Well this series is in its vegetative state. Family and friends can come in and pay their respects before we yank the plug Tuesday night

I will agree with Bailey and Eberle. Nelson isn't the offensive player some think he is, but he IS what a second line Center should be, productive, and responsible. My gripe with Bailey is that he always looks for the pretty pass instead of shooting, or the lazy pass away from him, to avoid contact, or the short pass instead of just clearing the zone. His talent is there, but it seems like he's a kid in an adult game at times...it's so frustrating

Not there best game. Greisser was their best player. One game and they make the conference finals. Keep working hard.

He still had a chance to get it out and did some dippoop move. Yes hes been good but he gave them a shot
- Upstate_isles


Last night was the exact example of why Bailey drives People insane. He was off the charts elite in the O-zone and played such a solid game in the neutral zone, but in the D-zone he will give you a heart attack. He had that puck on his stick with an easy opportunity to clear the Zone 3 times before they scored that late goal.

I don't know if he was trying to get it to Brock or just trying to be too fancy.. but his play in the D-area is just maddening. I don't hate the guy or lack appreciation for what he does for the team.... I just can't wrap my head around why he is still doing these plays at this point in his career. Everyone on the ice was happy to chip it out.. why is he pulling a Ho Sang at the blue line?

At this point I am more shocked at the people who don't see what gets fans upset than the people who do... He makes rookie plays in the D-zone.. still. Replay on at 10 am this morning MSG.. take off your Bailey colored glasses and watch him in the D-zone and tell me it's not maddening.

13 PO games played, 2 Goals, 11 assists and a plus 10.

Question all these blunders in the defensive zone and he’s a +10, does he jump off the ice right after he makes the rookie mistake in the defensive zone before the other team scored? Also that’s a point a game, how the hell does he do that when’s he’s giving up the puck in the defensive zone constantly. Can’t score from the d zone

Stop with the Bailey bashing it’s stupid at this point. The guy has been playing great and btw every player is going to mess up a clear or give the puck away.
I don’t need a white board session to know all 3 zones of the game especially from you or your ex college playing friend

OK.. you are right.. that wasn't him in that final minute who had the puck on his stick 3 times and gave it up 3 times. None of us saying he is maddening in the D-zone have a clue b/c he has 13 points.

Wonder if Moose or MDC get another look? So strange that against a Philly team that Ross is not needed.

Didn’t say it wasn’t him, my initial point was we win the game and all the thread has to say is, yup you guessed it, Bailey sucks. It’s getting (frank)ing old. Makes no sense.
It’s like a bunch of high school girls talking about the girl they hate
