Hickey jinx is back in effect.

 

[Lame Lambert]

Garbage lineup

And Iron Man Chimera keeps playing.

It’s such a f***ing joke that he’s playing.

 

[Macch]

sorry but it has to be said... Nelson is the black hole of this team. He’s worst than Chimera. Can’t believe AB is sitting for Nelson.

We are showcasing him .
Today's the day for him . 2 goals

Don’t get me wrong, Nelson is bad, but Chimera is beyond terrible.

 

[CREW99AW]

Let's go Isles.

 

[Le Grec]

Don’t get me wrong, Nelson is bad, but Chimera is beyond terrible.

Chimera is snake bitten, Nelson is useless...

 

[Skip To My Lou]

Dougie will NEVER play Pulock, Pelech, and Mayfield in the same game it seems.

Sometimes I really wonder how many people on this board even have an ounce of hockey knowledge. Anthony Beauvillier has been awful, he has contributed less than nothing to this team this year. He doesnt score, he has the worst +/- on the team, he doesnt kill penalties, what exactly does he do?
Chimera has been bad, no doubt, and he cant score for crap, be he kills penalties, he is effective on a checking line and plays a lot harder than Beauvillier. Brock Nelson? He has more goals than Beauvillier has points. It would take Beauvillier probably another 20 games to reach the amount of goals that Brock Nelson has right now. Is Nelson soft? Yes. Does he disappear for games at a time? Of course. But let me ask you this, in the average game, we are down by a goal with a couple minutes left and the puck comes to an Islander in the slot for point blank scoring chance, would you want that player to be Brock Nelson or Anthony Beauvillier. There should not be a single person that says Anthony Beauvillier.

So in regards to todays lineup, I have no issue with the move whatsoever, in fact I actually think Quine has been better in the games he has played than Beauvillier. I have been saying for weeks, if the Isles are to bring in a top 4 dman or some other upgrade and the teams around the NHL still consider Beauvllier to have high value, he is the guy to send packing out of our youngsters without question.

Pulock should be playing with CdH or Pelech. I’d rather not see him play than see him with Hickey or Seidenberg.

 

[CodeE]

Beauvillier's still 20, but he has had some pretty poor games as of late. If we had the depth to compensate, he could really use a spell in the NHL to round out his game.

I really think now might be the time Snow should start ringing some phones. Kulemin is pretty much done for the year, and icing Chimera, Beauvillier, Nelson, Clutterbuck, Quine every single game in the bottom 6 could be costly for us in such a tough division. A veteran PKer that'll cost a 3rd or 4th is exactly what this team needs right now.

 

[Jester9881]

Beauvillier needs some AHL time to gain back confidence.

 

[Strummergas]

Don’t get me wrong, Nelson is bad, but Chimera is beyond terrible.

Seriously. Chimera is the worst forward on the team right now, and it's kinda not close.

Beau needs help right now too, but I kinda don't want to see Prince or Quine in his place either.

 

[Jester9881]

I can't recall seeing a player regress season to season as much as Chimera has. He was at least a ligitimate 3d line option last year...

He almost single handedly lost the game on Wednesday. I don’t understand how anyone can defend his play.

 

[Jester9881]

Quine is still living off that OT goal, and Prince is Garths new "free toy"

 

[Lame Lambert]

He probably mailed it in this offseason

 

[Jester9881]

From all accounts, the guy is a health nut/workout freak. Only thing I can think is he maybe has a nagging injury holding him back.

 

[steveat]

Crap..Ottawa is a big fast team..Hickey will get trampled.

Think you might be forgetting Reasoner.

 

[Islesfan22]

Geez Hickey back in again. I don't mine Quine but I would have preferred Chimera sit. Expect to see the Isles pinned deep when hickey is out there

 

[boredmale]

Not that they will do it but they should try move Cizikas to 3rd line, Quine centers the 4th line

 

[SI90]

These guys travel and play a lot. I’m tired from watching the game last night lol

Have to respect these athletes.
