Agreed. I just watched that whole sequence. The ref was literally 3 feet away from the play and looking right at them. The Isles hating announcers didn't even mention the crosscheck until 23 minutes later in the broadcast. That's how common it has become.

Plus we have no idea where Kucherov got hurt.

I believe the consensus was shoulder and/or labia.

If Trotz was fired after this season, there’d be 20+ franchises willing to murder their current bench boss to make room for him.

Hell I would settle for Lambert.

I've been in there all day Talk about just being miserable
- Isles

It’s one thing to be miserable and it’s understandable with those poor bastards it’s an entire other thing to be completely delusional. The best thing about a couple of them is their complete, total, arrogance on subjects they so obviously know nothing about.

You could always go over to the Sabres thread where you’ll see things like Carolina and Florida are actually the best teams in the East and this is all luck and refs allowing the islanders to get this far.

They are definitely tops in terms of delusion trade value of their players.

Remember their reaction to the February 11, 2011 brawl game? They were crying for months.

Remember Bartley? That guy was the biggest douche on hockeybuzz during his heyday

I don’t want to blanket any fanbase there’s exceptions of course that aren’t idiots but as a whole they are the dumbest (frank)ing thread on hockeybuzz. It’s not even a contest.

Hell I would settle for Lambert.
- Feds91Stammer

Considering Detroit’s current bench boss, I should think you could settle for far less than that. Like ThunderBug levels of settle.

Holy sh!t didn't realize there were so many ignorant hockey fans out there. I mean I did, but never so many assembled in one location. That is fuking unreal. Do they actually watch the games, it's called playoff hockey and every team is clutching, grabbing, interfering, cross checking, basically anything you can get away without being called. WOW

It's called being jealous. They would give anything to have the Sabres where the Isles are and they know it

There are two complete schmucks over there that would say no they wouldn’t because they don’t want a pretender team and this is all luck. They’ll say it’s because if numbers and stuff. Three years of what most fans would consider playoff success doesn’t supersede the luck title I guess?

Seems like Lambert is going to have some opportunities to get a head coaching gig somewhere this coming year. I thought he was gone after last year.

Blashill isn’t that bad tbh

Nah. I will blanket them. They are idiots.

Yeah I’m hoping Yzerman has someone in mind. Don’t mind Blashill but the team is getting better so a better coach would be nice.

That’s the nicest thing I’ve heard a Wings fan say about Blashill in over two years.

We have our own Bartley for sure

Fire Barry. Can Lou.

Oops! Gave myself away.

I like lou I don't have any problems with him. Great gm and he turned this team into a cup contender after being a joke for so many years. I can never like Trotz. Even if they win the cup I can't like him. I hate Washington with a passion. Bunch of animals and criminal trash. They want to end careers and kill. Trotz was part of that.

But Lou hired Trotz. Oh the conundrum!
