I think Staple reported Bailey was dealing with a back issue earlier in the year. Could be a lingering thing. The back issues are some of the most concerning ones to me, especially long term. They never seem to improve.

6 year contract

6 year contract

Has there ever been a player with back issues that became healthy over a stretch like that? Ladd's back problems are only going to get worse too.

Someone's gotta be the first!

 

[Sidney the Kidney]

Is it wrong that I originally read this as "Bet he grabs an ass tonight" and did a double take?

Did Giroux get traded to the Isles?

 

[TommytheCat]

How is it BS when the team scores more goals than it allows when Hickey is on the ice? ... this a two year trend now so don't give me any sample size crap.

Do I think Hickey is awesome ... by no means, but the hate he gets from some of you is absurd.

all of our dmen get hate ... they all suck ..lol
LGI !

 

[PK Cronin]

I hope my heart will go ooooooooooon tonight.

Back problems don’t go away.

He only likes cops.

[BelovedIsles]

Love it!!!

Me too. Awesome coaching staff; accountability!

 

[BelovedIsles]

Pelech deserves the scratch.

 

[Sparksrus3]

I'll be there tonight and tomorrow. LGI!

Just a preparation note... tomorrow is at 1030 Eastern. Kings always start 730 and Ducks 7.

How will you get on TV for us ?

 

[Quickdraw2828]

First 10 pm game where I have work the next day. If it’s close after 2 I’ll for the third I guess. Tomorrow’s game is gonna be tough lol

F the people who schedule these ridiculous games. They could start an hour earlier.

It will be time for my west coast ritual tonight. I'll go to bed before the game starts..I'll wake up around three a.m to take a p**s...I'll remember the Isles played and I'll go to my computer to check the score...I'll think about which internet site to go to to check the score based on whether that site has given me more Islanders wins or losses in previous situations like this (yes I really believe I am the center of the universe and the website I choose will determine if the Islanders won or lost). I'll look at the score, squinting like Mister MaGoo since I won't have my glasses , and it will appear the Islanders lost 6-1, but I can't be sure so I get my glasses...yup they lost...go to bed angry...wait for next game and repeat.

 

[ML19]

Gordon Bombay's squad is going to be roasted tonight. We're going duck hunting.

 

[Sparksrus3]

I'm going to bed early and setting my alarm so I won't be dead tomorrow.

"Either way it's ok, you wake up with yourself "

Beat the quack quacks.

I remember a time where i could actually get home from work and watch a game on a weekday. Those were good times.

Because when the only argument for a player is his plus minus there is obviously something wrong to their game. I mean go ahead and throw Hickey out come playoff time though, it's not like he has gotten benched before.

 

[13th Floor]

How will you get on TV for us ?

I'll be the one streaking after Sbisa gets a hatty.

 

[YearlyLottery]

If Sbisa gets a hatty tonight I'll go streaking down Sunrise Highway.

 

[PhysicalGraffiti]

And while we're at it, can we just ****ing stop with the Billy Joel references already?!

So would it be wrong if I'm at the point in the season where I'm still Keeping the Faith?

 

[Benedict Kovalchuk]

Feels good to actually be watching a game start at 7pm and not 4pm for a change. Also just good to be seeing the Isles in action again, this schedule has starved us so far. Team could have gone to Europe.

I’m on mountain time. Headed home to enjoy Colorado Green and hopefully an Isles win.

West coast games suck, but I like being able to go from office-to-bar-to-home. LOL

It's about freaking time we see some hockey again. Interested to see how Ross does.
