Maybe we can pay Bridgeport prices for isles tickets
Does $6 for very decent uppers count?

Very Interesting
Matt thanks for reminding, do remember the last line now, sometimes after a few week I sometimes forget who posted it.
+1 - especially with Martin being out. He seems like a hybrid of Clutterbuck and Martin. Lets see if he can hit the goalie in the chest as well as Cal can.
Any word re Martin?
Nah, Cal's specialty is going high and wide, and having the puck leave the offensive zone just as quickly as it entered

Lee and Strome are getting put on a line with Colin McDonald. That is beyond infuriating for me. He has been downright atrocious this season. It looks like he has lost a step compared to last season and he was a below average skater to begin with.
I'm not saying these kids need to be handed 1st line minutes, but at least give them a half decent hockey player on their line.

How about a line of Halmo - Cizikas - Clutterbuck? Talk about an energy line. I would like to see them play together.
I don't mind McDonald. I think we get hard on players too fast.
Strome is listed at 188 and 6'1" Anders and McDonald are both 6'2" 225 and 214 respectively. They are perfect wings for Strome who seems to be still a lightweight. It can't hurt to try them out together. McDonald may not be the best player, but he can show how to play position hockey and how to finish checks. Something this team almost never does. Remember, McDonald is also a natural RHS..we need that right now.
Lets just see how this works out before people go crazy.

I hate Clutterbuck in a "scoring" role...
I like Nelson with Vanek and Okposo...I just don't like Vanek playing...

I like the idea of some PROTECTION on Strome's wing, due to his size. I'd prefer Clutterbuck who can score or Martin who I believe is a far better shooter than he's been able or willing to show, but it makes sense. I also like the idea of Lee on first line wing for a size infusion with or without Tavares.
Season's lost, anyways, so we gotta see what's in the pantry with what we have.....something you do NOW, not at the beginning of the year with kids.

I actually like McDonald more than Clutterbuck, offensively. IMO, these lines are good(or at least as good as they can be).

You can't scratch the most versatile forward, when it comes to playing the 3 positions, that you have left. He'll be playing center, we don't have extras laying around right now.
It's fine with Martin out, but I'm just a big fan of chemistry and would like to see what those three do together while they are auditioning for the team for the remainder of this season.
Any word on how long Martin will be out?
19 in a row

wait, what happened to Martin? is this related to him being banged up before the break? I didn't see any recent mention of him being hurt just that he was not practicing with one of the 4 lines yesterday.. what gives?
Really? I was hoping to see a playoff berth and the Isles adding players around this time of year.

I promise to never forget.
That's the smallest energy line around. Don't necessarily dislike it, but those guys all play bigger than they are.
Agree with your last sentence. I'm hoping he gets traded before our next game. Everyone knows what will happen if he plays. Please Garth, don't wait until March 4th to trade him.
I think Strome will be a good player who will get about 60 points a season. I love his skill and hockey iq. Lee im not high on at all. Future AHL career.
