Completely 1110% against Boyle coming in for Kreider, killing a kids confidence for a guy who plays smaller than Kreider and hasn't played deserving of 3rd line minutes, if Torts wants to put him in then scratch Halpern, his face off ability isn't exactly helping them anyway.

I tend to agree. But I wouldn't take out Halpern. Why mess with a lineup that has won 3 straight? Kreider while not generating much offense has still been hard on the forcheck and using more speed. I think he has been ok. Not worth changing things up at this point.

If Boyle is teams third line center then team has issues. Outside a two month stretch two seasons ago and last years first round he has been a fourth line center. He is slow and soft. No reason to take CK out of lineup and move Miller to wing. I know Torts invented hockey though.

In regards to the Cooke/Karlsson incident, I can't wait til the two teams play again on April 22nd in Ottawa.

On my way to the game. Section 212. Lets go Rangers!

Thank you NHL for scheduling the Isles on Gabby's birthday, nothing like celebrating against the team you own.

Maybe a dumb question but are you guys getting audio on your feed?

edit- nvm it's working now.


Good start. Hagelin has been hot the last few.

Gilroy deserves more than 5 minutes a game, still a big supporter of his game

Boyle will be invisible again, guy has no offensive skills whatsoever, he's not a third line center, don't know how he ever scored 20. The moon and stars and sun must have been aligned.

Too much modeling and not enough training, good thing Stepan's going bald.

Gabby!

Birthday boy! I've never seen so many quick rebounds, how did Richards not bury one of those?

Boyle misses Dubi, they couldn't dress up as Santa and an elf this year. Wait....there was a lockout, maybe they did. Whatever, just hate the fact that a kid sits and he's in the lineup. I believe in having a roster with the right amount of youth, young guys come out flying, makes the veterans step up a little so the young bucks don't show em up, adds competitiveness that translates to a better game.

Here we go again, since they're first shot on goal the Isles have taken this game over, wtf is with them?

is jack capuano dying? guy looks terrible

Call a timeout, this is ugly
