How was Comeuas camp “under the radar”? The guy tied for the team lead in shots. I dont agree with the scratch only because its in favor of a guy who didnt play a preseason game with the Isles. I dont like that fact that Thompson plays just because Gordon knos him. Because guess what? The Islander fans know Comeau. The Gervais scratch blows my mind even more.

No comeau is intriguing, but his camp was conspicuous by his “under the radar” existence. Nevertheless I believe he’ll be in regularly this year. I also believe that after fans see Thompson’s brand of play they’ll be disappointed when he’s NOT in the lineup this season, particularly when mgmt decides they’re not calling up Fritz to insert into the lineup as they have tonight. He’s no heavyweight but when things get nasty you’ll always see him engaged and his skill level certainly matches Hilbert’s!

I think the Comeau thing is nothing to be concerned with. The Devils have some grit, and some fighters.. maybe Gordon was planning on putting in Thompson to bring more of the physical edge up the middle we would lack with Comeau. Devils are big up the middle.

Let it play out.

so pumped for tonight game and this season … the young guns will shine .. im sure comeau will be back in the lineup, i was at the one pre season game and he didn’t really do much , i am sure this is just a wake up call for him and bruno … regardless enough with any negativity lets see how it plays out and support our team because lets be honest no one else does…. lets go islesss babyyyy

CB…What’s with the “traditional 17 minute pre-game skate”?

“Comeau is scratched because he played like crap in the pre-season games. He probably assumed he had a spot on the team and got a nice, welcome news flash. It’s fine with me as long as it doesn’t become a regular thing.”

How would you know? They weren’t even televised??

Sigh. Well that was unexpected. I hope Bruno and Blake play tomorrow night. Unless Pock and Thompson put on a clinic tonight.
