Dee Karl: "Played Without A Heartbeat" 5-2 loss Casey Cizikas is suddenly a goal scorer.

Really? Bad officiating is what your going with fine sure lets go with that so what's your excuss
For the other 50 mins of bad hockey ??

Boo franking Hoo! Put your big boy pants on and don't blame your team's 5-2 loss on officiating. Suck it up Dee! On another note, how sick is JVR....I wonder what Luke Schenn is doing right now...hmmm

I wonder if this Granger is a better Dman than Ranger?

Leaf fan invasion . I said it from the beginning though Leafs vs Ducks Stanley cup. Ducks in 4 though.

I'm sad at the write up. Pretty much everything I've seen from Dee has been well written, researched and executed. This was poorly done, with grammatical errors, player's names misspelled, and sentences left half finished. Such a shame from a normally very sharp writer.

I hope that you're right about the Leafs making the SCF

McDonald was given a penalty for passing the stick to his team mate. 'You can't do that'

At least edit your work.

you guys can have the human turnover factory, can't shoot streit back.

You didn't warn Holmgren, oh wait he never listens anyway

Awesome ..blame the refs..I can count a number of calls missed against the leafs as well..but go ahead keep thinking those two pp's the leafs had were the difference in this game

I really have no clue what he is trying to do, or how he thinks of putting a team together.. He's made some serious head scratchers...

The Islanders showed last year that they could play with any team in the NHL offensively. They lost that Pens series due to bad defense, bad PK (Pitt was 13-21 in the series) and shaky goaltending.

Fast Forward to now, you let Streit walk which as you can see wasn't exactly terrible for that contract he got, let Brad Boyes walk who had an ok year although not a first liner in my mind, let Keith Aucoin walk who did some good things on the 3rd line last year, traded your #2 prospect in Nino Neiderreiter, traded Matt Moulson who has only been outscored by 5 players since his first year on the isles (vanek not one of them), traded a #1 pick, #2 pick.

You've acquired Cal Clutterbuck via trade, Thomas Vanek via trade, signed Pierre Marc Bouchard, Peter Regin all who have been underwhelming to put it mildly.

You haven't acquired another defensemen to replace Streit and the goaltending is the same as last year.

Someone tell me why any Islanders fan shouldn't be mad as hell right now? Isles had a great opportunity to take a next step but instead put their roster back a year at least because they can't keep the puck out of their own net.

Well in the first period there were 2 high sticking calls blatantly missed. Okposo got nailed by Phaneuf and had a pretty nasty cut to his mouth area and Nielsen got hit as well. That's 6 minutes in penalties not called. I remember one pretty bad missed call the other way as well.

But when you trot out an AHL goalie and 3 defensemen out of 6 that wouldn't play for any other team in the NHL you aren't going to beat a pretty good team on the road most nights.

My favorite part of this blog....

I have to agree, the team last year was scary to play against. The trade with Buffalo really set you guys back for so many reasons. IMO Vanek have an almost 0% chance of resigning so I am not sure what the point of this trade was...

Yeah refs were not very good in the first period and honestly a 4 min PP might have sparked them.

Great clean hit by the Ref as well, cleeeeeean hit
