And your $9M figure skater is # 240+ in the league in scoring…1 regulation win in 8 games is not good folks. Make any excuse you want but that's putrid.

It seems clear Barzal can't take that final step to becoming a bona fide star. He's a very, very good player, but he can't turn games on a regular basis.Good morning,
Have a feeling that this journey is over and that the best thing would be to rebuild the whole team. The owners need to swallow their pride.
Last night, the team conceded another goal during the last 5 minutes of the third period. Does anyone know how many games in the last two years the Isles have conceded goals at the end of games? Feels like it happens every game and it must be something mental.
Roy’s english sucks, these quotes are a nothingburger IMO.Is the honeymoon over?
I feel the same and walk back my comments after re-watching the presser, nothing there, Rosner creating drama.Roy’s english sucks, these quotes are a nothingburger IMO.
Barzal and Horvat both have been bad 5v5And your $9M figure skater is # 240+ in the league in scoring…
Barzal and Horvat both have been bad 5v5
this is why we STOP PUTTING HOLMSTROM ON THE FIRST LINE AND TELL BARZAL TO SHOOT
Mitch Marner lolWhile I agree with you I wanted to remind you Bother that Barzal does not shoot no matter who is on his line!!!!!!!
Just to remind
This was Seafoams's pic he post from the Habs game....
How many players in the NHL Pass, when in this position with the Puck?

After watching his post game this morning I generally agree that Roy is saying the right things, but you can tell he's either searching for the right words or censoring himself before answering some questions.Roy’s english sucks, these quotes are a nothingburger IMO.
Broken record: the opposing team knows how to play these guys bc it’s pretty obvious, redundant, the same schtick every game. Same thing on the PP, same in OT.Barzal and Horvat both have been bad 5v5

Exactly right. He has to be at his best for longer stretches more often. That's what separates an elite player from a very good player. Barzal just doesn't do it often enough.It seems clear Barzal can't take that final step to becoming a bona fide star. He's a very, very good player, but he can't turn games on a regular basis.
then trade Barzal. f*** it. Lets trade him. Lets trade Dobson. Trade any player worth a shit because they all suck apparently and we ain't doing anything right. Go ahead plop Barzal on Florida and he could wreck havoc. Put him on the Rangers and he greatly outplayers Zibanapowerplay. Put him on the Bruins and he powers that team. But the isles are why he sucks.Broken record: the opposing team knows how to play these guys bc it’s pretty obvious, redundant, the same schtick every game. Same thing on the PP, same in OT.
Now, Horvat is waiting on Barzal to do his thing, which is reducing his effectiveness.
It's not just Rosner. Read Gross's and Ethan Sears's tweets. They're not much different. But I agree that there's no substitute for actually hearing Roy answer the questions. Context, tone of voice, etc are most important.I feel the same and walk back my comments after re-watching the presser, nothing there, Rosner creating drama.
I think everyone including ownership are starting to see that Lou’s home run was Trotz who took a younger group of average talent and systemized them enough to catch the league of guard. Lou has failed to improve the talent level enough and locked himself into corner with bad investments.Let LOU make a statement trade??? Are you f***ing kidding me?
Lou made his statement by doubling down on the core he couldn't move on from, the contracts from which we are still waiting to expire on their own because there's no market for those players.
Trade a core player. Go ahead.
Lou make that trade? Forget it. It's past time for a new GM and a new set of scouts.
He would be better in a 2nd line role where he’s the 4-5-6 fwd. He was ‘fine’ under Trotz where he was one of many, it was expected he would grow and lead - it’s been 3 seasons already and two coaches. He can’t do it and it’s messing everyone else up.then trade Barzal. f*** it. Lets trade him. Lets trade Dobson. Trade any player worth a shit because they all suck apparently and we ain't doing anything right. Go ahead plop Barzal on Florida and he could wreck havoc.

Shoot the puck Barzal. Shoot the damn puck. Stop passing and shoot.
Exactly - it’s just a matter of time before it all comes together and they all lived happily ever after, The End.People like this in real life? Just throw in the towel immediately with no reason?
I have said this often, this team is a strange collection of pieces. I never watch the Rangers due to my contempt for them, however when they play us it’s disgusting to see the collection of talent there and it especially obvious when they run a PP ! Ours on the other hand is painfully predictable and slow. How many years now with an underwhelming PP? Yes we are stuck with many bad contracts and the chance of a quick turnaround is very slim. Better than the Wang years for certain but disappointing nonetheless.then trade Barzal. f*** it. Lets trade him. Lets trade Dobson.

i have to say this, but the ownership has to step in. Fans need to care. get people to care because it is looking meek out there. the isles didnt even sell out on a saturday night. that is concerning. what have the isles done to make fans say "hey, I wanna go to the game?" lately?I have said this often, this team is a strange collection of pieces.

I love fairy tales. Tell me another one Unca Lou.Exactly - it’s just a matter of time before it all comes together and they all lived happily ever after, The End.
