To add to the comment above, while I am disappointed in the loss, this isn’t a loss where they deserve to be hammered by us fans; they put forth a great effort and just didn’t win

Effort was there tonight, teams like Buffalo and New Jersey are going to be the Isles toughest tests this season due to their shutdown style.

Very solid effort in a loss, we can’t win every game

Sorry to say but Comeau hasn’t played better than anyone, including Jon Sim, to warrant a roster spot. Phoenix is in rebuild mode too and they don’t hesitate sending down or scratching their rookies if they don’t play well. There shouldn’t be some exception here just because your under 25 years old your automatically playing. When he plays well enough to earn a roster spot he’ll play.

Islanders should feel right at home in a half empty Rock tonight

I also wanted to comment on Comeau and Simmer denbate. I have to believe Comeau isnt doing the things he needs to be doing to get back in the games. Last season, Gordo sent him down, he worked hard on his game and he was called back up with a fire under his @ss. He played with a physical edge and made good decisions with the puck which forced Gordo to keep him in the lineup. Hopefully he will figure it out and keep it up. We dont need another enigma on this team, none the less…

GOOD STORY…I was in Baseball Camp, as a youth, and they always featured a pro ball player for the kids to meet…That year the Yanks were at home at the time but the Boss was very strict and didn’t allow his players to do such “frivolous” things so the team the Yanks were hosting, the Orioles, sent “Tony Bernazard” to meet and sign autographs…I remember the question I asked was what team would you play on besides the Orioles??? The only team he wouldn’t play for is the Yankees…How hilarious is that????Im a yankee fan, BTW

sim vs blake.. isnt this a repeat of last months “why is tamby sitting, instead of …”. maybe blake has to change/improve aspects of his game to get ice time. i dont think blake’s contract is a burden to the teams finances. it seems since tamy stopped being a perimeter player, he got ice time. i don’t the isles want young players to fail. but rather shape up their game, as required by the coach. not too much to ask.

Danis gives up HUGE rebounds. I expect a huge night from Tambellini and Baily. Isles win 5-3.

Big game tonight, clearly, need a big bounce back effort. If Sim has proven one thing to me it is that he gets under the skin of opponents. I was at the game in Buffalo and everytime he was on the ice he was getting roughed up. It got a point where it started looking ridiculous as Sabre after Sabre took shots at him. He’s a role player, he isn’t expected to light up the score sheet, anything there is a bonus.

Comeau has a lot of unused talent, and Gordon has had a problem with him since he came here last year, when I think Comeau probably thought he had earned a spot on this team from his performance with Nolan. I think if Comeau can crack the lineup and produce the Isles can have 3 lines with real scoring ability though, and that would be huge.
