For a game the Isles “should win”, they got manhandled.

Most critics picked the Isles,Atlanta and Toronto to finish 13,14 and 15th in the East and the Isles lost by 4 on Saturday to Atlanta even if they didn’t deserve a loss that big and tonight they looked horrible for most of the game. The defense needs to get retooled. It’s bad.

In every game we are not faster, stronger, more skilled, or tougher than the other team.

For the past 3 years, we have not been able to get over the blue line with speed. Makes it hard to watch.

Feel like the only thing this team should focus on is making offesive plays, even if we lose 100-1. When is the last time we had a 2-1 or 3-2? Always one on 3 and are guy get puck lost in skates.

I don’t see how anyone can say there is any game this season the Islanders “should win.” They are very possibly the worst team in the league, especially with all these injuries.

Jason Blake has speed and skill, something sorely lacking on this Islanders team.

Well done Original Rob. I know all about giving youg players time and all that, but those numbers are way past disappointing, they are disgusting.

Someone has to seriously go after Hollweg for the hit on Jackman.

I hope nobody brags when they are inevitably proven right one of these days when the prediction of Josh Bailey (or Tambellini or Okposo or whoever else) scoring a goal actually comes true.

Nielsen, Okposo, Bailey, Tambellini have played a combined 72 games and scored a combined 4 goals.

I’m at work so I can’t watch the game, good to hear Comeau is playing well! Gordon will probably send him down for playing well. After all he said he wasn’t unhappy with his teams effort the other night against Atlanta!!!!
