Douche, I am totally (frank)ing with you. You were on here yesterday when I said it was a good trade for both teams. You a dynamo when it comes to grammar but (frank) how about some street smarts

As far as being to expensive or not, the market changes player to player team to team.

Yeah I know. Take it easy bro. Just playing. We just lost again. Fuk

22 shots wide today. Boys are just gripping the sticks too hard. (frank) they are in a scoring funk.

This is pathetic and what the (frank) is Barzal thinking there? Nah, I’m not gonna drop it to the wide open defenseman, I’ll skate through two guys instead.

Not enough urgency in this teams game. Period. For a team in the position that they are it’s pretty unbelievable that they’re missing that extra gear when they need it. Whether it’s along the boards, puck battles, whatever, the other team always seems to want it more for too long now. Effort isn’t there enough on a consistent basis.

Lmao. You’re (pay attention, that is you are) a (frank)ing tool. The islanders played their (keep up) game, but as normal can’t (can not) score.

Don’t look now. 2 points out of not being in a playoff spot. Avalanche game is must win.

Hard to argue this right now Cpt especially when you look at players like Nelson and Bailey. When the skill players are not giving the effort you have problems.

Tight division and other teams are playing well and we’re not. Not a good combination.

Meh, I thought they played a pretty complete game. Hit four posts and had a break away ( after Toga gives the team some tips this should improve ) a puck wobbling on the goal line and doesn’t go in. They are in a scoring funk and they need to get out of it. Happens to all teams, just gotta keep playing your game and hopefully it changes.

That said, you have to think that Lou and Co. are working the phones looking to add some offensive punch.

They need to throw pucks at the net from every angle and crash the net. They need to start scoring dirty goals. I think it's beyond a funk 7. This team simply has trouble scoring goals. No other evidence is needed.

They get 2 or 3 goals Ses the way they key on defense they are golden.
That said they should throw everything at the net ( getting it through of course) and maybe they get a lucky break and it turns the tide. Somethings gotta give.

Again there’s no doubt in my mind that they are looking for some offensive help.
Hopefully they get it, easier said then done. There’s a lot of teams looking for those same pieces and not much out there in the top 6, would love to see any of Kreider, Hoffman, Pageau and Toffoli but so would others.

I agree. I like the defense especially with the addition of Greene. I have no doubt Lou is looking for help and it will be very difficult for the Isles to make that impact move for offense. Garth did not leave Lou much in terms of trade chips in the pipeline.

On it. Just like watching the refs hand on the face off of puck drop, your eyes are key on a breakaway. Don’t look where your gonna snoot unless you know you can. I thought you claim to be a hockey player.

Don’t know a hockey player, don’t claim to being close to a hockey player but that said, I do know that you shoot a puck not snoot ( a persons nose) it.
Since you don’t know what the (frank) your talking about in hockey at least get the English right you grammar nerd

Pretty good with watching the refs hand at the drop. Your sons pee wee coach tell your kid that and the kid passed it on.

Agree Ses, however that said if you can go and get a high end top 6 proven goal scoring center ( Pageau) or winger ( Hoffman ) do you put our #1 or Dobson in play to go get it?
Reach down and grab um because it a big call.
Easy being GM’s from our coaches.

Honestly 7 trading Dobson is a no go for me. I trade our #1 for a signed player. New blog is up.
