This list is great, does Figren have a good chance of making the Isles next year? If he does then he would be a great fit with Bailey.

While on vacation to Toronto, checked out Matt Martin and the Sarnia Sting in Missisauga. This guy is the ultimate in Power wingers. The key here is the word Power. Big strong hits like a pile driver, has ice vision and great hands. He always has two or three guys trying to keep him from the net. Plays with an edge yet seems to know when to turn it on and off with the rough stuff. He’s a crowd pleaser for sure.

So one 1st liner possibly, if he comes over. The rest we have skill, but more balance, speed, but not enough skill, effort but needs skill and a potential starter who could blossom.

boy this organization has a thing against first line talent! Bailey hopefully makes our top line as that would mean he’s a second liner on 29 other teams.

CB, what I’m asking is this: when do you throw out the car…..after how many breakdowns? When do you expect us to swing for the fences with all the 35 MPH lobbers we’re being spoonfed rather than continually bunting?

If we get the first pick, would it be UNIMAGINABLE with this franchise to draft a 5’8″ right winger projected to be a second rounder with speed instead of Hedman/Tavares/Cowen?

just curious when the scouts will come up with a talent like nash, kov, malkin or ovechkin like? I know we havent had a #1 pick, just seems most of our talent hasnt been panning out. havent had a true, pure home grown goal scorer since…ziggy i guess, just a thought.

I lost a lot of respect for Montreal fans tonight. They were derisively chanting O’Byrne’s name after the game like he was on the opposing team. Picture Isles fans chanting “Skinner” or “Pock” if they had done the same thing. Wouldn’t happen.

UiF, Campoli was bad but I think he was just having a horrible night. I thought he slowed down later on but it seemed like he was ‘off’ and then losing confidence more than laziness to me.

That poor kid O’Byrne!!!! (Tee hee)

I’m pleasantly shocked. Don’t have much else to contribute. I love what Bergenheim brings to the team, and Bailey looks like he’s really hitting his stride and feeling more comfortable. I agree, this was by far his best game.

Ahhhhh – payback is sweet!!

Jon – totally agree. .it’s usually ISLES finding a way to lose. Feels great when it happens this way!

Loved Bergenheim confronting Kostitsyn after putting puck in net after whistle. . And Bailey’s best game – the kid has got to stay. . Gets very exciting dreaming about a future that includes Bailey, Okposo and Neilsen growing together.

They’re winning in places they usually don’t — Ottawa, Montreal.

And yes. . I have Time Warner in Westchester and have noticed the past few games on MSG+ HD – my sound has been terrible, too.

One away from .500!!
