I have a funny feeling it's going to be "remote control to the wall" tonight. As in I'm going to be throwing it at the wall

I'm worried we'll see a good game sprinkled with too many mental mistakes to overcome

anyone notice how the team seems to start every game giving opposing forwards tons of space and backs off the line and only corrects it for portions of the game? I think this is our biggest problem. Lack of aggressiveness to challenge the opposition and instead spending too much time giving space and trying not to get caught.

I'm okay with getting caught at times, but it drives me (frank)ing nuts to see them give up all the space to the face off dots before trying to challenge the shooter. Close the gaps and take away the time and space and you'll spend a lot less time chasing in your own end.

This has been going on for probably 6 years now. It's tough to see the same problems so consistently for so long. It's so blaringly obvious and is never corrected. Capuano cannot get this team up for a game.

Keys to winning. Be physical on malkin and Crosby. Don't allow Neal to shoot. Everyone else on offense is a scrub.
Pitt defense has more holes then isles defense does.


Isles win. 4-3 isles win. Ko (2 goals) aucoin and Martinek score

Battle level. Lol. Good one. Cappy is so annoying.

Kunitz seems to enjoy playing the Isles too...even though the Isles have blown leads they are a better looking team with some young kids hanging and banging as opposed to Rolston wasting space . They have a different presence to them out there this year.....Jets ere a big tough team the other night..hope they battle hard and knock sid on his A$$

Our #11 defensemen is now your #4.

I think if the Isles stay out of the box it will come down to the wire. If the Isles take alot of penalties it could get ugly.

I don't love him. Think it's a (frank)ing disgrace that our defense is this thin. Would much rather see DeHurt,Donovan,visnovsky...part of why we are in this mess

That's a bold statement based on well you know him from posting on a hockey website.
