    Bailey is so bad, he is not a defensive or offensive presence playing on the top line.

    It's amazing this guy is still on the top line.

    Mayfield is not a fighter, yet he is the only one on this team that shows toughness.

    I know they have played better under Doug, but Snow has not done a good job of putting together a skilled and tough team.

    I don't know why but Nelson looks lost out there, he is trying too hard to make something happen and turning the puck over like it's pick up hockey.

    I've tried giving him the benefit of the doubt, but your right Nelson is regressing at the speed of light and looks disinterested.

    Ho-Sang looks like a man against boys out there, fast, with an extremely good shot.

    Halak has been called up. I guess they finally realized JFB sucks and they can't play Greiss every single game. With Pit tomorrow and the Bruins on Saturday I would guess Halak vs Pit and Greiss vs the B's.

    Wow, so Garth literally gave away about 4 or 5 games as the islanders were creamed every time Berube started a game because of his personal grudge against Halaks agent.

    I would have fired him on the spot if I were the owner, costing him a chance at a 3rd straight post season and additional revenue.

    I'm not happy about it, he was playing center again and I feel that had an impact on his apparent slow down, it's not an easy position to play when there is no talent around him.

    I wish him a speedy recovery.

    Well, it's not like he is cold just sitting on the bench, he has had a lot of playing time in Bridgeport. If Bailey and Brock decide to earn their NHL salaries and show up today, he should be ok.

    Huge win tonight. Jaro was solid in net. Makes our POS GM look like an ass for keeping him in the minors all this time. Biggest game of the year tomorrow night against the B's.LGI

    Brock showed up last night, should have had 2 goals if it weren't for the refs playing favorites again.

    Can you believe that Brock has 77 goals playing on the 3rd line in 4 years, while josh Bailey has 100 goals playing on the top line for 8 years?

    Bailey must have incriminating pictures of Garth or the CS, that type of production is not even acceptable in the AHL.

    It averages out to 12 goals a year, and I deducted the year he was injured.
