Bridgeport will have to start rescheduling games soon

I'm waiting for the Worcester Railers to start getting called up to the Island.

Well I don’t think missing half your starting lineup qualifies as an excuse it is what it is. With that said I agree the usual hesitation to shoot the puck drives me nuts. They’re more concerned with it going the other way then putting it on net.

Seriously? How are they supposed to win with lesser talent that hasn't played with each other?

This is facking bullpoop.

I meant in it in the way it’s a horrible reality not an bullshat excuse like blaming the refs or something.

What are you talking about? They played together in Bridgeport.
As for the lesser talent, these guys are paid professional hockey players. Next man up. Step up your game. Of course the starters didn’t step up their game so far. Maybe they’re trying to tank for Wright.

The Rangers TV crew was saying that they thought the game should be postponed. I think it would have been the right call too.

There's also the fact that they were playing like crap before Covid hit them. And all teams are playing under the same Covid rules.

At this point I hope they give the rest of the league covid. That could be the vodka speaking. Nothing makes cooking more fun than a few good drinks.

I agree but I don’t care what team you are with what kind of depth. Couple that with our injuries it’s an impossible hill to climb. I do agree that our regular players are for the most part crapping the bed but to expect to compete like this is unrealistic imo.

It's not the next man up - it's the next 2 lines up.

The Islanders are good for the liquor stores on Long Island.

It’s completely ridiculous that they’re playing right now. Pretty much pile driving our season right now.

Don't want to wish covid on anyone, but if there's a sudden outbreak with the NYR, this will maybe get the scrutiny it deserves. Both teams are being put at risk to lose players, games etc

As I was shopping on Tuesday I saw some Bloody Mary mix and I decided it would be a very bad idea. Maybe when the weather gets warmer.

I just think the threshold needs to be lower. The equivalent of a full forward and d combo being out or more should shut you down.

Hopefully with the testing they're doing these games are low/no risk.

Never a bad idea. Especially as an Islanders fan.

Well I for one think it’s brilliant. Especially tomorrow morning around 8 or 9am as you're throwing the bird in the oven.
