Guy is useless to me and pretty much the Islanders would be better with out him. He is on the second power play unit not the top unit. I believe the Tavares line has more power play goals then the second unit

They also get a minute and a half while the second unit gets 30 seconds. I actually like the second unit's approach better. Not necessarily AMac and Hamonic, but just the general approach. They move and look for paths to the net, rather than standing still and throwing it around the perimeter for a minute before finally deciding to change the angles a bit.

can you back that up or is this just an assumption??

again, im not Amac lover...in fact i was KILLED earlier in the year for saying he should be sat...absolutely killed for it...but he isnt THE reason the isles are losing.

Ok I will give you that and having MArtin on that line is awesome. I just cant handle MAcdonalds missing the net everytime he shoots. Maybe he needs glasses or something

Not saying he is just saying he has been pretty awful this year compared to past years. I say another 2 years maybe for him and then he is as good as gone.

Not an assumption they for sure have more goals combined then the second PP unit

I was actually going to check out some video to see if that sign was original and how it affected Crosby in the past, but instead I just decided to totally not care at all.

I'm glad I muscled through all the gibberish to see this.

Neal is a wuss...Disappears when checked tightly. Orpik on the other hand is solid,

Sounds like Nash huh?

Who said Neal is tough?

hes been on the successful pp unit the entire year... cant just point the finger at him now because its convenient and you need a scapegoat.

Especially when Streit sucks just as much....

I'd try to trade him this offseason if I could. I can't see him being on the team in 2 years. Amac's role is "shutdown" but Mayfield and Pedan most likely will play those roles in 2 years

Remember when Streit led the team in goals one year (first year of rebuild i think)

No offense but I could have led the team in goals that year

Glad I read this as I was about to write the exact same thing. One of the tricks to getting a good shot off from the point is for both dmen to be moving in tandem together rather than stretching their passes to a player waiting to unload. Rob Blake was great at doing this.

You took a dive right in there with that bankrupt analysis. We all tank you for your thoughts.

No problem. I try and contribute once every 71 years.

Yep..seems like a lifetime ago. I also remember when Streit could track down an iced puck if he had a headstart on other players. Now he lets up at the blueline and watches opponents blow right past him.
Like a few other players in the past, the move this teams overall skill level improves, the less sufficient Streits skill level seems.

Timed perfectly to coincide with your bouts of sexual activity, I assume.

Why dip one's toes in the cess pool? Never wise to upset the officials...next thing you know you're killing off penalties in OT...

The rules say you can't judge if you are the target of the comeback. Didn't you ever learn this?
