Pussed my kids in the ice tonight looks like nhl radio in the drive home.....it's killing me

Barry acted like Andrew was asking him to play an unproven forward from Bridge with Barzal. Palms is a proven NHL player and Palms scored twice when on that line. How does Palms playing on the 1st line ruin all the other lines? It only makes Barzal and Eberle that much better and takes pressure off the other lines. That question hit a nerve with Barry the way he reacted.

Probably because he hears that suggestion endlessly.

Because it's a legitimate suggestion and not some far out idea and the 1st line has struggled since Leo. I'm very happy Barry is coaching the Isles and I hope he coaches them another 10 years but he is very stubborn on things like this. He could have answered in a way not to throw Leo under the bus and to not response to Andrew Gross that way.

Of course he does

He pusses his kids. You don’t?

Of course he does

Is he shocked he hears this question? 99% of the NHL is wondering the same thing about Leo on the 1st line with Barzal.

We go it

Is it game time yet!?

I hope by now you all realize I am not trolling and am just here to talk hockey.

What a series. I do think the Bruins come out in this game buzzing. The Isles will need to weather an early storm and they have the guys to do so. Should be a great game and regardless of the outcome I hope we all have a good night

I suspect only half of us will.

So whom do you think the Islanders should play on the Barzal-Eberle line?

Undoubtedly a great locker room presence.

Moulson’s dog?!?!?!

Plus more offensive talent than Leo.

Sounds like a question for keaner.

Moulson’s dog?!?!?!

No, but Moulson's dog told me this guy would be in the lineup tonight.

Plus more offensive talent than Leo.

That's a low bar, so I'm gonna agree with this.

That you spent like four posts mocking anyone who questions Komarov on that line only to turn around a second later and say Barzal’s line hasn’t been the first line since the playoffs started is

That's kind of the point we've been making!

It’s not because Leo’s on his line it because of the way he’s was playing. He starts playing like the last couple games and he will get more minutes. It’s not about Leo it’s about Barzal. The whole Leo on the first line shat was old 2 months ago.
Just wish everyone would move on. The fantasy hockey line from Trotz to Gross should have put the lid on it imho, but I guess not.

Oh I agree. It’s what I’d do.

He did answer Gross. He basically told him to STFU you don’t know what your talking about, this isn’t make believe my lines all need to perform. In a very nice way.
