GDT: #31| Dallas Stars @ New York Islanders | December 13th | 7:00 PM | F/L 5-2

[majormet]

Among other things not to do with defense or goaltending, it is just one of those games where it all goes wrong. Bounces, posts, missed chances. There will be games like this in an 82 game season. Reload for the Jackets tomorrow.

Have to figure out why we look like another team when we play Dallas

 

[Bood12]

3 more goals in 3 minutes, it can be done

 

[SI90]

Jamie Benn real tough going at Beauvillier there after the play.

 

[Lights911]

At least Lee got two

 

[majormet]

Lee is a BEAST

He is on 50 goal pace, 19 in 31 is about 50 in 82

 

[Bood12]

good lord how are the Islanders going to afford Tavares Barzal and Lee

 

[majormet]

good lord how are the Islanders going to afford Tavares Barzal and Lee

By having a lot of Quine, Fritz, types in the bottom 6, that is how it is done

 

[BTrotts19]

Gonna be interesting tomorrow, the worst PP vs the 2nd worst PK..

 

[majormet]

Josh Bailey has 30 assists, 80 assist pace

 

[BillD]

And Bailey

 

[SI90]

Bailey Pricing himself off the island.

We will respond well, Dubinsky's eyeball is hanging out of it's socket.... he shuts us down every time, not playing, Isles will blast them

 

[SI90]

At least the Rags lost

 

[steveat]

I don't know if we will have room to re-sign Halak!

 

[nyscene]

That was a hot mess. f***ing Jaro.

 

[Bood12]

And Bailey

well Bailey is someone you have to allow to walk if he is going to command a 6X7 contract which I am guessing he will if he is going to keep this pace

of course if JT is wanting him to stay if he is going to re-sign, well that is an exception

 

[BillD]

And yet they are a win out of first place.

Two of the losses were decided by one goal as well. There's a difference between just being a bad team and losing and going on a streak where sometimes things just don't go your way. Did they really play bad against Pittsburgh or Ottawa when they lost?

More things go into it then just posting that nonsense.

Call it nonsense if it makes you feel better. It is a bad start to December and we have some tough games coming up with swiss cheese in net. I hope your seeming confidence bears out but this team has to get their heads out of their collective butts. They are not that good that they can allow themselves to be out worked.

Bailey Pricing himself off the island.

Isles just need to stop spending the money on the bottom 6 guys, that can be made up of serviceable vets, I mean how bad would we be if Bernier and Gionta were in Clutter and Chimera's spots.. .that is a lot of money saved there... CDH at 6 Million is a joke, that should not be done

JT at 10M
Bailey at 6.5
Lee extended to 6

Don't lock Barzal up yet, have to see more from him

Isles will need to have Aho and Toews in the 6 next year with Leddy/Boychuck/Pulock and Pelech with mayfield at #7
I'd find a way to get Dell here next year to be #1, and he isn't making much yet
I'd find a home for Clutter and his salary next year
no more Kulemin, Halak, Chimera, Hickey Mouse, and CDH salaries

Bottom 6 of Lady Jane, Beau, JHS, Cizikas, Quine, Prince with options for Fritz, or a cheap fighter, is a cheap bottom 6 outside of Zeke

 

[majormet]

well Bailey is someone you have to allow to walk if he is going to command a 6X7 contract which I am guessing he will if he is going to keep this pace

of course if JT is wanting him to stay if he is going to re-sign, well that is an exception

We invested too much in Bailey to let him go, Snow is not going to want to see him actualize on another squad

I agree here, methinks we peaked in our usual bad month. The goalie problem is very hard to fix right now

 

[periferal]

At least we're not like the rags losing to the Senators...

 

[majormet]

At least we're not like the rags losing to the Senators...

Sens got a goal from Bobby Ryan, he only scores on NY teams, his 2nd of the year
Douch-ene got an assist he has as many points over the last 18 games as Lady Jane
And the matador Ceci even scored on the Queen

 

[warrior60]

At least it was only the second lose at home.

 

[Mr Misunderstood]

Hey guys I’ll own this one, still haven’t seen a win at the Barclays Center. Not planning on going back, so I’ll see them again in person at the Coliseum return or Belmont.

 

[warrior60]

At least They are still in a playoff hunt.
