I know I might get ripped on for this but I am sorry in advance.

We pass on a talented, fast scoring winger in nikita filatov at the 2008 draft and move down 4 spots to pick josh bailey a play making center who barely averages a shot per game 9th overall who we are now using as a winger on the 4th line. And on top of that jon sim who has been a 4th line journeyman the majority of his career and every once in a blue moon played 3rd line is playing wing on the 2nd line for the islanders. If that makes sense to anyone please explain to me because trying to make sense of that on my own is going to make me have a stroke.

I will say this, I don’t think Zdeno Chara and Jon Sim will ever be friends. Maybe that’s why Sim has been getting so much second line time.

Until Gordon finally figures out who is top six offensive fwds are this team will be fighting to score 3 goals per game. Why does Comeau play with Tavares and Tambellini got stuck with Sim. I don’t get it! As much as I like Frans, he’s a 3rd line center. I’m glad Schremp is playing.

To bad the bruins players aren’t all SUVs then WITT would have no problem. Unfortunately they are hockey players.

The second goal helped me understand why Gordon benches comeau. Soft plays by a grinder. not good.

I don’t blame Witt for either goal. First one was a good wrist shot and the second one he was left alone to try and check two bruins after someone blew an assignment. I’m one who bashes Witt but he’s done nothing wrong for a while. He keeps getting left in bad situations by his teams lack of defensive positioning. What is with all the failed clearing attempts tonight? Time to man up and clear the zone inside of throwing it weakly up the boards
