Time for a big game to get back on track. Can't afford a long skid in this division

 

[Jimmy Firecracker]

Islanders can’t score but if they let us jump out to a 2 or 3 goal lead they’ll be guaranteed to pot 4 or more.

 

[LeafalCrusader]

Was hoping we could get Kase and Holl in for Clifford and Biega.

 

[stickty111]

Good to see Keefe stick with the kids together. Also good that Clifford is out. Now give Anderson a run way. Don't like Dahlstrom but I'm guessing Rubins is hurt, and Keefe is playing him against his former team so it's fine.

 

[Stephen]

Really need to get back on track. I believe the Islanders are starting to get back to their stingy defensive ways as well.

 

[zeke]

So Ritchie is back from vid but Joey is still playing ahead of him? Nice.

 

[ShaneFalco]

After being waived, you would think that would have made Ritchie come back and play with some fire. Not so. Not at all. He's more or less a liability now

 

[ACC1224]

That defense, yikes.

 

[ToneDog]

That defense, yikes.

Thought you were referring to Isles D until I saw the lineup in the tweet above. Pretty much shows the lack of depth we have on D. You need at least 8 dmen to make a deep run. We barely have 6.

 

[Apex Predator]

I’m good with back to Sandin Liljegren. Let them learn from that experience. Let’s see how they respond.

We should spot them a couple of goals in order to avoid blowing another two or three goal lead.

Did you just make a short word two letters shorter?

 

[Kiwi]

That defense, yikes.

It's the best we have available, here's hoping they learnt some lessons from the Rangers game

 

[Burnie97]

I like Keefe coming back with the kids on D too. Sometimes you have to throw them in the deep end. Better to get them into situations like this now than playoffs.

They've already played second pair at different times anyway.

I expect a big bounce back game here. The forwards need to get back and help out the D more while they have some guys out.

They definitely still need a trade for d man or 2 come payoff time.

Good to see Clifford out of the lineup and Anderson coming in. Clifford is pretty useless out there.

There is no other choice.

Simmonds could use a kick in the arse too

Lessons for D men are learned over 4-5 seasons playing with a vet ... kinda makes me LOL when fans think D rooks pick things up in a game .. it is thousands of game reps in different situations

But some on here seem to think we got Bobby Orr type rooks who can skate their way out of any issue .. we don't

 

[ShaneFalco]

Why do we even bother with guys like Clifford or Simmonds if they're not going to respond to something like Trouba's hit on.Rielly?!

 

[Once]

Anderson should be in over guys like Clifford and Ritchie. I like that.

Dahlstrom is dumpster juice. Hope Holl can draw back in... Dermott clearly needs some stability. A shame really.

They could have went Sandin Dermott and Dahlstron Liljegren.

 

[LeafalCrusader]

Good. I'll take a jet legged Holl over Dahlstrom and Biega.
