Ben Shelley: Islanders sneak past Hurricanes, but win doesn’t inspire much confidence

https://theathletic.com/5...ct-termination-explained/

I always hated this guy as an opposing player. I thought he was sneaky dirty. But if things get desperate on the Island, I wonder whether Lou might view him as a rehabilitation candidate. Lou did pretty well with Robin Lehner. And Lou does like his aging veterans.

They'd have to be very desperate. Lou is a character counts guy. This situation seems to be more than a guy with a substance abuse problem. Whatever went on with Perry I doubt it's something Lou would want to deal with.

Fair point. Maybe Lou just kicks the tires a little in an attempt to learn more about the nature of Perry's problem.

Of course, if Lou spent more time on this Board, he'd know it had something to do with Mrs. Bedard.

Me thinks he might become a decent player.

Of course Tkachuk’s dry spell ends tonoight…

Hope Nelly's not injured too bad. This roster is getting depleted...

Well at least we don’t have a 3-1 lead going into the third.

So you're saying that we don't need to show up in the 3rd; we'll win anyway?
