THOMAS POCK ON WAIVERS
Possible changes to Islanders roster begin
5:00 pm - Defenseman Thomas Pock, the lone Islanders’ healthy scratch on D tonight, has been placed on waivers.
Assuming Pock clears – and our hunch is he will – Pock could soon join what is already a fairly sound defense in Bridgeport and will be available to the Islanders as a depth defenseman.
The move could also enable Pock to continue developing in the Islanders’ and Scott Gordon’s system. After serving a 5-game suspension for a high elbow on Ottawa’s Ryan Shannon, Pock did not return to an open spot on the blueline because Freddy Meyer came off the injured list. The Islanders picked Pock off the waiver wire from the Rangers at the beginning of the season, but his play has been subpar and he did not make a case for the Islanders’ top-six.
Bruno Gervais has been placed on IR retroactive to Tuesday, November 25 and was not among the skaters this morning in a rehabbers-only workout at the Coliseum.
Mike Sillinger plays the final game of his AHL conditioning stint tonight when the Sound Tigers play in Worcester. If the veteran center is cleared for continued play, he will join the Islanders for practice on Monday.

Surprised Bruno is injured, thought he was another ‘healthy scratch’ the other night.

They did state that Bruno had some bumps and bruises that he was playing with.

Bridgeport is already rotating 2 d-men per game. Would Pock get claimed?

I’d like to see some BP callups on the Isles that have some offensive upside. I like the play of Jackman, Thompson, and Colliton, but all three on the team at once is sort of redundant…and it gives us almost two full “energy” fourth lines.

mike igguldon and mclean have talent. as well as trevor smith and ben walter and PF jesse junseu

FREDDY MEYER!!!!!!!! 3 goals and 1 assist so far
-
2 goals, my bust…. so far
-
Bailey’s finally starting to shoot. I was shocked when Howie said Bailey only had 8 shots in his first 9 games. He can’t score if he’s not putting pucks to the net.
BTW, Ruutu is a major POS.
-
ruutu is the biggest POS ever. streit didnt puch him into JMAC. and no one does anything except streit gives him a lil crosscheck. as a defenceman and my brother being a goalie this pisses me off. someone runs your goalie, you better make him pay. this pisses me off beyond beleif
-
ANOTHER HIT FROM BEHIND. THIS TIME ON MEYER. NO CALL AND NO ONE DOES ANYTHING. GROW SOME BALLS
-
replay proves me wrong but on the ice there are not any replays
Since Danis is back now they should start him tonight and give J. Mac a over due rest.
