Yeah... We're well aware of that
Zibby has been up and down, hopefully he's just being a slow starter turning into a legitimate power forward type. But we'll see

Uh-oh, where Cujomi? Zib has been hit and miss, some games he looked pretty dominant, others he has looked really bad. Part of being a young player I suppose. I always liked your team, and having been to Nassau it's actually my favorite arena in the league. The sight lines are spectacular, I couldn't care less about the fluff that goes in an arena, like when am I ever going to use a luxury box? I'm kinda sad your guys are moving into an arena where I bet the sight lines are terrible for hockey. Plus every time I went a game Isles fans were really cool. Ranger fans? Not so much. /buttkissingsession

Heading into the season I figured the Islanders were another bubble team. It is still early on, but they sure do look strong at the moment.
I expect a tough game.

I've managed to watch a few of their games and even when they lost they looked very good
I don't think we stand much of a chance honestly

Another isles fan comes in and talks about how strong his team is.
My god, most of us don't care.
It honestly feels like your mocking us right now.

That's not how I'm interpreting the Isles fans comments, I think he was genuinely trying to inform "God Says No" and the Sens board in general about our team.

We were asked a question.
See how that works? Ask a question, get the answer!!!

JT's gotten off to a really slow start, which sounds borderline homerish to say because he's a point under PPG right now.
Kulemin on the top line isn't a permanent marriage, but he provides a strong defensive game to a line that quite frankly needs it and he's as strong as a bull along the wall and on the puck.
A Grabovski-Nielsen-Kulemin second line was together for a few games and showed great chemistry, and but the top line was absolutely invisible with Bailey on it other than a few shifts so Cappy decided to spread the top six out. He's shown zero interest in breaking up the Lee-Nelson-Strome line and the fourth line is, well the fourth line.
The Grabovski-Nielsen-Bailey line has gone cold over the past week or so though, so we could potentially see the lines mixed up depending on how the game is going.
Regarding Grabovski's goal total, all of our forward lines play over ten minutes a game and he's on the second powerplay unit which gets about 30-45 second a powerplay, if that.
From the games that I watched of him last year, I definitely saw some potential in the kid. I hope he works out for you guys.

Zib is coming back from a being a healthy scratch in the games before last. Team wanted him to start dictating more instead of just looking for the easy play. Missed the Tampa game myself but I hear that MacLean was happy with his response.
They look 10 times better than ours, which begs the question....how have WE been winning so far, haha..

Ive never seen this many Isles fans, just goes to show how everyone comes out when the team is good.
Ottawa usually play better against good teams, than against bad.
Without Ryan we can also count on intensity from all lines

we always beat the islanders... except this year looks different.. they look kinda scary.. but not like crazy scary.. I still feel the islanders are a weak team, maybe that is because I grew up watching them (and by grew up I mean 2004-2013) play poorly every year.
I want to say Ottawa wins this 4-2, but with the way the sens have been playing and the way the isles have been playing, I am going to say 4-2 for Isles. Prove me wrong sens!

Kind of the opposite to here, when everyone comes out of the woodwork to ***** when we play bad.

They don't watch other teams. That's why they think our guys are so good. They have nothing to compare it to except for their beer leagues.
Essentially, our second line functions more like a checking 3rd line with some offensive contributions added and our 3rd line functions more like a 2nd line. Switch the productions numbers with the two lines and you have your answer. We are tied for 6th in the league in goals per game. The production is there. No mirage. Halak has been awesome. Chad Johnson, the opposite... More Blues hatred can pursue with the mention of the former Blues player.
