Well betting on the Islanders this year was your second mistake.
Your first mistake was becoming a Rangers fan.

Yup and then I watched the knights sharks game and it was so much better. I'm at the point where I like watching teams I don't care about so I can just enjoy good hockey

Bellows showed up again, in 12 minutes he had 4 shots one assist.

Good news is they can retool quickly but to me they absolutely have to land a big f.a for the top line

They have to stop thinking players like Bailey and Beauvillier are anything more then ancillary contributors.

Yea they make a good 3rd line but we need a top player for barzal. This team just doesn't have the talent of other teams and can't score. Palmieri has been a disaster this year but he's way below his career shooting % so that should improve. Sadly we aren't the rangers where players like fox and panarin want to go but a retool isn't impossible considering Chara green and Parise are most likely done here

The question is who? Is it a Dmen or Forward? Personally I think it needs to be a forward as the Isles have Salo and Aho to fill in the gaps on D. However, they need to bring in another top 4 guy to take some heat or Dober. Don;t want to screw with his development.

Imagine if they resign Chara? I can see it happening

Could not agree more. They keep forcing these guys to be players that they are not.

Aho sucks. I have little faith in him being anything more then a 7th defenseman if that.

Yes, it can.

Yet, didn’t sniff the ice the last 5 minutes of the game or in OT.
