Gordon was pretty professional about it, which is a good thing. I’d hate to see Witt go also.

As for Fritz, whom someone mentioned earlier… yeah, send him packing. He does nothing for our team. Give Blake Comeau a spot in our lineup for keeps.

Instead creating some offense by passing the puck, they constantly dumped it into Minnesota zone which being picked up by their defense and turning over to odd-man rush with quality scoring chances. So much for the “System”… And did you, guys, see how easy they were getting behind our Ds? Minesota coach knew exactly how his team needed to play against Isles. And guess what? They won.
If I would be JMac, I would beat the whole team with a goaley stick. Without him it’s a 10-1 game.

How much trade potential do any vets have on this team at this point? We have a bunch of one-way contracts, and players that no one else will take off waivers. I hope Garth has an idea what to do because these lackluster games need to stop. The skid has an end, but I think it will engulf December. We can’t even get to OT consistently.

I said this about 5 games ago but how many more games does this team win the rest of the season? 10, 12? I can’t see more than 15.

The Islanders talk about getting fast puck moving defensemen. Say they do that, then teams like Minnesota can just camp out in front of the net all night and the Isles D won’t be strong enough to defend them. Players are bigger in the NHL than the AHL and the Isles get pushed around as it is. This 3rd period is a disgrace.

Also why are we the only team that lets teams skate over the blue line and never challegnes them in the neutral zone? No wonder teams come in our zone with speed.

That’s an amazing stat…that the Isles have been outscored by 39 goals this season during 5-on-5 play. That is not about systems or character, it’s about skill. We don’t have nearly enough, offensively or defensively.
