Kyle needs more practice or an easier way.

I'd let him get as many chances as he can this year. Then over the summer he can figure something else out. Didn't Bailey do something similar? Seems like you either have it (Neilsen) or you need to hone your skill. JMO He’ll learn, David. I’d let him get as many chances as he can this year.

He doesnt take a thing seriously! What a comeback the islanders had going, it was amazing to watch. then its his turn in the shoot out and he pretends he's sydney crosby or ovechkin at the super skills competition at the all star game??? what the hell is wrong with him! He better have some kind of man to man talk with gordon...this is the third time he did this and its TOTALLY unacceptable!!!!!!!!! i am so PISSED off at Kyle! He doesnt take a thing seriously!

How to see more of Tambellini's shot during games? 1. Get him off of 4th line. Playing w/grinders ain't getting it done. 2. Put him on PP instead of Hilbert, Park, Witt, etc. Why this hasn't been done yet must only be known to Flash. Not like the current PP is exactly lighting it up, either: 0-7 against the 2nd WORST PK in the league last night. What the hell do they have to lose? And wasn't that Tambellini who took out everyone's favorite "should be an Isle", Luke Schenn, with that hit? Seems like he's at least trying to be tougher than most of you give him credit for. I'd keep Sim. Very much possible he's just starting to fully come back from his injury. I really like what I see from him lately. Looks a lot like the guy we were told he was when he was first signed. Okposo either tries a new move, or he's off of shootouts. MacDonald has not been close to the same player he was before he was injured. At least 2 he should have had last night. Yeah, yeah, we want to lose games...blah, blah. Crazy, I know, but I like watching my team compete, and right now Danis makes them more competitive. Dean McAmmond = poor man's Mike Sillinger. (That's a compliment, btw.) Maybe I was wrong about Tom (135). Maybe he's the only one of us brilliant enough to see through Snow's plan to have Witt make a stupid play in hopes of a suspension and THEN having Martinek give himself a good ol' face plant into the boards just for good measure. Genius! Finally, to Doc: Amen, and Amen. Random thoughts (putting my 4 posts into 1)…

Maybe people are playing (like me) because their paychecks/overtime is less. The team did battle back and earned a point. I listened to the Leaf post game show/call in on 900 Hamilton on the drive home. One of the callers was wondering about the wisdom of playing the Leafs goalie Toskala on back-to-back games when he has a groin problem. Maybe that helped us get a point!I want to win but I want the Hedman/Tavares pick. But 40 years ago I rooted for the Buffalo Bills to finish last and get O J Simpson. They did but in the following decade they went to the playoffs once. Pat’s estimate sounds good to me..although the 50-50 raffle was a decent number, maybe $1200??

Hardly any Leaf fans this time - maybe 400 in the whole place - usually a lot more. Half a loaf - pardon the pun........ Tamby is great in the shootout.
