Even if Garth does trade down, it wont matter... Tavares is going 1st overall, and I dont see the Isles picking 1st overall unless someone kidnaps Rick DiPietro and keeps him out of net for the next 40 something games. 60 “Dissolutioned Brian” in VA on Dec 24th, 2008 22:33:35 said:

Then he will will justify the pick staying up in the BIGS just to spite a WJC team. But Hey the real issue is Mark Texiera is a Yankee! YES!

A pure goal scorer who when fed a puck in a scoring area, blasts it through the twine. See Marian Gaborik, Kovalchuk, Ovechkin. These guys are pure bred hockey talent. Its odd to think this, but imagine Okposo and Comeau feeding Gaborik or Ovechkin pucks all night. Finish last and bring on Tavares/Hedman. This team was constructed to be bad, and is living up to it. Mike Bossy for GM and John Tortarella behind the bench. Last night again proves that while we have a nice team of playmakers, we need a finisher.

Comeau has some sick playmaking ability, just need a finisher. He set up comrie and Okposo at least half a dozen times, they just couldn't finish. Damn shame.

I also like how we were getting to the front of the net more as time went on. But it's a common thing now with these guys- all the hard work is for nothing, because no one is able to finish off chances. We have shots going wide, missing upstairs, shots that can't get through the D... it's getting really frustrating to watch. And yeah. Comrie was at fault for his penalty last night, questionable call or not. You don't decide to retaliate on the power play in the offensive zone. You either save it for later or forget about it and swallow your pride. If he'd stayed out of the box there, we might have still had a chance.

Trent Hunter will soon be the leader and captain the new Isles need and that makes me happy. Notice how much extra effort they put in last night the first game Hunter got back to playing again.
