Some players who actually play get paid less. It’s not good for motivation Chris TMC.

HUH??? What in the world do you think the other guys on the Isles think is “not fair” about Rick not being rushed back after an injury? How many hockey players HAVENT been injured before?

Man- just when I think people wont come up with any stranger theories, people go and prove me wrong!

Carmine. I can tell your heart is in this, but, without knowing how old you are I am guessing I have been with this team since before you were on the earth. Do not presume to tell me - or others - how to be a fan.

the comeau, comrie and okposo line is enough to keep me watching. I am looking for the little things this year. No need to keep bashing your heads against the wall. Like Parcells said - we are what our record says.

In reguards to post 67, I’d even throw MLSE in that mix of teams that have been run like a circus. Even though with Burke they may be better years from now, they are still suffering from the JFJ years and will probably miss the playoffs yet again with little to show for it.

It just shows disorganization at what I would think is the most basic level, inside communications. The reason it is unsettling is because it is yet another piece of ammunition for the name callers. It just erodes the hope for the future a little bit more. Way to go.

A little overreaction, Chris, maybe? Its hard to know the whole story behind the quotes when the team is 2500 miles away. Aside from the injury policy, which was ridiculous, I’m not quite sure I’ve seen enough ineptitude to start calling Snow and Co. “Keystone Cops.”

Actually the bottom 5 teams all have a shot at drafting #1.

I disagree that Stamkos is a “bust”. Give the kid some time - it’s his first year and he’s on a team that might possibly be in more turmoil than the Isles. The situation there right now can’t be good for the ol’ development.
