Seems ambivalent on the coaching staff. I'd say if there's actually meaning to this sound bite, we are already in a better spot than we were at the start of the season.

good Islander Josh Bailey, thanks for some pretty good memories...

 

[Bones45]

@Bones45

Ill believe it when its a press release.

F Bailey.

 

[MarsTBOW]

A Whole Lotta Nothin'!!
Thanks Lou...
You Rock!

 

[Dutch Frost]

I don't know why we are bringing Lane back but yet another year of a mediocre powerplay and with above average team limping into the playoffs followed by a 1st round elimination.

At least we finally can get rid of Josh Vanilla Thunder Bailey.

w

Lou’s presser crashed the servers

was actually thinking Lou and the brass announced something big

MacLean is probably a goner

 

[Glorydays22]

Does anyone have the link to the press conference?

 

[MJF]

Bailey's definitely gone it seems.

That’s actually a pretty big statement for Lou.

 

[Lek]

Does anyone have the link to the press conference?

It is up on the Islander FB Page, but definitely edited as no Bailey remarks at all.

full 30 minutes on team page on NHL site

 

[Lame Lambert]

Run it back! This is our year!

 

[SI90]

Bailey to NSH for 3rd. Make it happen.

 

[Lek]

Just finished the full watch.
I actually thought Lou was very forthcoming....for Lou that is.

- I do not think he is happy with Barzal at wing.
- not very happy with the coaching staff past Lambert.
- i can see him moving a center
- not sure he is confident he can sign Mayfield or Engvall
- definitely not happy with our last game.
- and definately knows things need to be fixed....the question is can they....can he.

Mediocre power play? What power play were you watching? I would LOVE mediocre

Why not Anaheim? They just hired a former assistant of ours and Bailey would easily help their youth

Coyotes make the most sense. 3.5M cash on a 5M cap = 1.5M they don’t have to spend, which, in their current situation, I’m guessing will matter. They’ll need to Garth Snow that shit all day now.

Yeah I agree, this was not a fluff presser if you read between lines and he clearly as you could say it’s certain one way or another Bailey isn’t going to be part of this team next year. I also got the Barzal thing and thought it was interesting as well, perhaps Nelson is moved to wing or he’s part of some sort of hockey deal Lou likes to reference. I think we are going to see more changes to roster than people expect. He really laid into that game 6 performance a few times so he was clearly not happy.

I see Anaheim as a top fit, Lou does right by vet by getting him somewhere he might play and also not bad living in Southern California for a season. Sounded like Bailey is committed to living here when his career is done.

 

[Richie Daggers Crime]

Many people are anxiously waiting to flip out and lose their shit

They've already decided they're going to. They just need the prompt to act it out.

He easily did nothing to help Islander youth

He would also help NSH and Trotz loves him. But if you want Anaheim I’ll text Lou and Bailey in the group chat and let them know.

Chicago too

 

[JKP]

Chicago too

Chicago might need to get to the floor, but they are rich and don’t care (as much) about money.

 

[Isles Junkie]

Very surprised he was so open about Josh Bailey. Not sure what we could possibly get for him though. a 4th?

He's worth a 5th or lower

 

[MarsTBOW]

Sure he has! He showed them how to "Just go thru the motions"....
Which is really Bad. I have felt this way for a long time.
Onto the Draft.
Thanks for the good memories Josh.
