Totally agree that they would close out a lot more games if they could score some empty netters like the rest of the League. But they get hemmed in their own zone so often and so easily. Not enough chances for empty netters.

We need Mayfield not to be out there. LOL, I know, who do you play? The guy is such a late-game liability.

Mayfield's lack of awareness and ridiculous struggles with clearing the puck make him an anxious nightmare to have in the ice in the last 2-3 min
- keaner17

Yet, Lambert has him out there almost exclusively for 2 straight minutes every game we have a late lead.

Definition of insanity.

I guess Dobson can't play 60 minutes?

Norris Candidate so far.

I don’t know where we’d be without him and Romanov.

Him and Romy.

I’ve already got more confidence in Reilly and Bortuzzo.

Bolduc is pretty bad, too. I'd like to see him sent down for almost anyone else in Bridgeport.

We need van de ven and Maddison back. We need another CB in the window. If we can nick that 4th CL spot I’d be thrilled. They played great on Sunday. I was so sick and tired of Champion and Le Seaux talking about how injured Newcastle was like we don’t have like 10 or 11 guys out ourselves. Le Seaux is just a salty Gooner anyway.

Totally agree 100%

It’s kinda nuts how we’re the classless fans but there’s almost 2 pages of their fans gloating about how Tavares did it against us.
*shrugs shoulders*
I haven’t even seen anyone in our thread mention him. Just another game. Hell, it’s kinda poetic actually, most of those points with us. I’m just pissed it was us blowing another (frank)ing lead.

I'll take responsibility for that

Honestly it is an incredible stat. Out of all the players that played this game 90 something only did this. Good for him but he can suck my Richard the way he left here because he knew he wasn’t coming back. Gotta blame Snowballs for that as well.
As far as Leafs fans, the majority are douche bags!

Not sure that I would want to use Gervais as the measuring bar. Way too low...

This is the thing. It takes playing to get more comfortable.

They were all circle jerking about the fact it was against us before you even commented.

I haven’t cared since the first season he left. It’s (frank)ing Snow’s fault for being so naive in the first place.

Agreed. Apparently they asked the league if they could celebrate if he got it.
Individually he has a nice stats, but his team has won nothing. I bet he would trade all that for a cup.

I can see Bolduc being a solid 3rd pair dman, but it will take time. Pelech really struggled before Barry like a lot of the D. I remember there was promise with Pelech when he was drafted.

As a life long Islander fan I'm very pleased to hear that he was BOO'ed whilst getting his 1000th point. Well done. (no sarcasm--seriously) If I'd been there I would have been singing along to whatever dehumanizing song was being sung. He's a turd. I hope the hall rejects him on principle.

I thought the same thing. It’s a microcosm of his career. Ties the game with 6 seconds remaining. Game 7 OT celly, only to lose the game a min into OT. Amazing that a guy in that elite club of 1000 pts, has had little to know playoff success. 15 seasons and saw the second round twice. Whatever isles fans opinions are about him, his legacy is kinda garbage…..minus his personal stats.
