I'd really hope that Martin sits and Bellows plays, but I'm not super confident in that

Martin sucks I'd prefer ross over him. Bellows has been good so far

Not to prolong this but what’s the difference if you’re vaccinated or unvaccinated and mask wearing? Couldn’t be more evident that the vaccinated spread the virus at the same transmission rate as the unvaccinated look no further then our catastrophic season for proof of that.

I honestly don’t understand the obsession of vaccinated people with the unvaccinated? I could understand if the “vaccine” prevented the spread of the virus but it so obviously does not. I think we can all agree on that

Don't say that on twitter you'll be banned for telling the truth. All students at Cornell are vaccinated and yet 900 got covid this week sonthey went remote

Bellows has been good lately and Martin is dealing with whatever nagging injury he's been dealing with and his play reflects that.

Not to mention the "best 4th line in hockey" hasn't even been the best 4th line on the Islanders this year so far

It's not even a medical thing or a vaccination thing.

Nobody wants to wear a mask all night long. 75% of Nassau County is vaccinated, 70% of Suffolk. It's mathematically stupid to cater to the minority group here. Reward the majority with being able to attend games mask-free, that's all I'm saying. They had no problem allowing only a tiny number of unvaccinated people into the Coliseum, I don't see why it should be much different at UBS.

I just don’t see it being a question of fair or not fair. I see the entire thing as being stupid for the reasons I stated. There’s no reasoning with a stupid rule when it’s based on utter (frank)ing nonsense to begin with. Ok that’s really all I have to say

I'm not disagreeing with you, or saying it's fair or unfair. I'm just saying it's dumb to cater to the minority group here. 80% of the state is vaccinated, an average of 72.5% of your fans are vaccinated. Just stop letting the unvaccinated in until this new directive is over and nobody in the arena has to get pissy about wearing a mask and their staff doesn't have to deal with 5000 defiant, angry bumholes all night long. Everybody wins.

Anyway, pointless conversation. They're not doing an about-face now. Chara sucks.

Only if Sorokin is in net. If Varlamov is then 2-0.

Simply put: It would be nice if the Isles rewarded the people who went out and did what they were supposed to do, in terms of getting vaccinated. Stop allowing unvaccinated people into the arena and then nobody has to wear a mask. Problem solved.

You do realize that if you are vaccinated or not you can still get, carry and transmit the virus?

According to the NHL's roster report, Kieffer Bellows will sit tonight. Czarnik in. #Isles


Varly starting and Bruins only have 17 guys taking warmups. What a cluster(frank), they should've just bagged the game

Wahlstrom finally gets top-line billing and Barzal is out
