Claude says:

isles 101 says:

Jeff wall says:
Haley has a busted hand. Not gonna help against carkner and k. Rack is a 4 th year pro. Nino is a kid. Wallace should be sent down and pandolfo scratched. 4 th line should be reasoner between niño and Rolston. At least niño will be playing with some talent even if it’s not been showing all year.

MarioCT says:
They have to be showcasing these guys for some pucks. Wang must be getting low and not wanting to buy any pucks with logos on them.

Jon in Chicago says: Kinda get the feeling that goal (if you call it that) will be the only one of the game.

matt haworth says:
21 is terrible if i see one more toe drag im gonna vomit either coach him up or waive him. just think fans wanted him to be our captain here is a phrase for you “draft bust”
-
doc says:
yeah… waive 21. Stupid comments like this are enough to drive REAL Islander fans crazy.

Bridgeport wins again 6-2. 11-0-0-1 to start the 2012. Leave the Tigers alone Garth, let them keep winning.
-
Capuano does know that it’s ok to change up lines during the game right? He really needs to change things up aside from the 1st line of course.
-
So do all the experts still want to trade PAP??

Adam from Astoria says:
I am watching (via DVR) tonight’s game. With about 1:00 to play in the 1st, Eaton turned the puck over at his blueline leading to one of the best chances of the night to that pt. for one of Ottawa’s best players (Michalek). About 10 seconds later, he turns it over AGAIN! This guy STINKS! Reese can SKATE CIRCLES AROUND THIS GUY! WHY MUST WE BE SUBJECTED TO THIS LOSER? And why is it that all the real Isles fans on this site who have other jobs,etc. can see this but the pros who run the team can’t or won’t???
-
How we doin Adam? Say some bad things about Baileyntomorrow night!
-
-
Bailey is a passenger tonight. Thank God for PAP and Martin on the equalizer. Let’s hope they take this to the shoot out for a win.
-
Like most nights

Jon in Chicago says:
Go crazy folks, go crazy!

Fire Snow says:
Any combo of 4th line players that excludes toughness of any sort = yawn zzzzz yawn zzzzzz yawn zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz Bring back the real NHL!!!!

Hey Mario CT and John– I don’t want to tell you the hell I took form another Isles forum for that comment, but guess what? I’d STILL nail Eaton to his press box seat Sat. night anyway and play Reese instead! Let’s see— a player makes a couple dozen bad plays for every good one (which is being kind, I think, to Eaton), and I should change my mind about him being an awful player? Sorry, doesn’t work that way. Reese is still much better. When was Eaton’s previous goal? 50 games ago? (In fact it was 121!) Do you think Reese, with all the big minutes given to Eaton, wouldn’t have scored more goals than the latter— esp. in OT, 4 on 4, where defense goes out the window w/ all the open ice? Not to mention that Reese should play ahead of Staios too!

Doug F. says:
Montoya gets the start…Jurcina hurt, Reese in the lineup…
Rakhshani and not Nino on the 3rd line? I’d love to hear an explanation for that…
