Yep, if Duclair is going to miss significant time, I’m moving Barzal down to center the second line.thank god varly is an elite SO tender
second liner ???
Winning being the key point though; I think their record of 2-1-2 is a pretty accurate reflection of their play so far. I don’t think anyone could watch that game and think the Habs deserved a point in that one. Not sure what that’s says about our Isles, but they were definitely not outplayed that gameWinning ugly lol
Same cry for your boy Petey last year living up his 11.5 million this year. Figure skater will be more than ok on the island here earning his dinero . Collectively the team is mediocre. We all know it. Lgi.They may want to put that Solo Stove under the players’s arses.
Not liking what Horvat is turning into bc of one of his line mates.
This team made a self inflicted wound for 8 years. Just keeping hoping Tkachuk wants out of OTT and they are dumb enough to take back a figure skater as compensation (please, pretty please).
just reading this after I totally missed the game due to a doom metal concert and it seems I should be great having avoided this gamejust finished watching......that was rough, ugly and indicative of a team that will not sniff the playoffs continuing to play like this.
2 points. Get out of Dodge. Tough to watch. Lgi
Completely agree, Barzal is skating non stop, usually just multiple cut backs that dont actually open up passing lanes, while everyone else just stands still. No other PP in the NHL looks anything like the Isles PPLet's not forget that last night's game would likely have been an L last year
Ten games a year, you play ugly . . . Just win baby!
Hate to say it, but once again, the Isles need to learn from the lacrosse Man-up approach to help the PP . . . MOVEMENT . . . make the defense MOVE by moving the players around. We are barely opening up the skip pass lanes because we DON'T MOVE the PIECES. Watching Barzal is like watching Lyle Thompson . . . looks great when it works, but the other players start standing around and watching.
It’s only gotten worse year over year as the team tries to rely on him to be the go to.Completely agree, Barzal is skating non stop, usually just multiple cut backs that dont actually open up passing lanes, while everyone else just stands still.
