I've been a die hard since 1979. I've earned the right to female dog. I love this team, but I am dead against rewarding lazy asses (Okposo) with first line minutes, while potentially sending players like Cizikas and ullstrom to the 4th line or AHL when the bust it shift after shift. I don't get how people get excited for Bailey's return when he's done nothing but stink it up season after season while we wait for him to "break out". I hope I'm wrong, but I just don't see it happening.

Bailey and KO good average players right now.

Bailey needs to step up for a new contract... if not here then somewhere else.

For some reason I can see Bailey playing in Toronto!!!

He would get eaten alive by the fans and media.

No one will give this team any credit...

Isles may trade Streit
February, 3, 2013 Feb 39:02AM ETBy Victoria Matiash | ESPN.com Recommend0 Comments2Email Print Playoff contenders in need of experienced blue-line help may want to give the New York Islanders a call closer to the trade deadline. Bruce Garrioch of the Ottawa Sun suggests Mark Streit could be available as the prototypical post-season 'rental'.

"... Once the New York Islanders are officially out of the playoff picture, expect D Mark Streit to get dealt. A lot of teams are looking for somebody who can move the puck and he's in the final year of his contract. Streit is well-respected around the league for his abilities and will likely get dealt for a second-round pick ..."

Probably McDonald will get sent down after his suspension.

How about trying Bailey on the second line... move Boyes us to the big line and KO to the fourth line...

KO Reasoner and Martin!!!

demoting KO to 4th line kills his value,
Mcdonald give this team a legitimate grinder/agitator (who doesnt fight) a much better version of Sim.
so who ever gets sent down, im ok with, bc I want the kids to play together anyway

Arbour always thought after any goal, to get back that physical shift to either keep momentum or turn it around. Sadly, reasoner doesnt bring that. Cizikas and Martin do

Lots of good coaches do. It's not out of the ordinary. Having Reaoner as your center is a bad 4th line to throw out against a top line.

Nobody is female doging. Why do you have such a problem with people being objective about what they see during a game? Okposo plays like shat, Reasoner sucks whatever. Who (frank)ing cares if someone points that out to discuss how the team they're a fan of is playing, isn't that what fans do? This is probably the third time I've seen you post the same exact thing. Are you copying and pasting this thing? We are all happy the team is playing well. We are also 7 games into a new season whther it's shortened or not we are still only 7 games in. I don't think any of us need you to tell us when we should be happy or not? Take it easy, stop being so freaking sensitive.

OK, then 3rd line or trade him. He doesn't belong on the top line or 2nd line

Watching Goring's little segment on the pregame about Okposo say's it all, we are all wrong Okposo is all about hard work. Thanks Butch
