i too would prefer to see bailey (grabner even more so) but i happen to think moulson is the issue...id ideally like to see a line consisting of

grabner-jt-martin/clutter/mcdonald

winger
- mighty13duck

he plays on left side though and okposo plays on right? that could be why the switch doesn't happen.

KO is not a compliment on that line period. They had so much success at the end of the season and in the playoffs, why change those line combos? If PMB is invisible again he needs to be scratched.

Bailey can play on either side

IDK? WHy play Marty Reasoner in game one of the PO's when he was a healthy scratch for 10 games prior? Why pull your goalie with 3 minutes left when the pucks not even over your own blue line? Why almost scratch your most effective PK'er and third leading scorer who is playing lights out against the Pens in game one of the PO's? I can go on with this if you like?

15-20 games? I'll give him a shorter leash than that

And then go on to announcing w/ JR on NBC Sports?

*edit: of course when I say 15-20 games I'm not saying on the top line, just as a fair player eval overall

Can't say I disagree here. While Moulson is very good in close to the net where he scores, he is awful pretty much everywhere else. I realize as folks say, 30 goal scorers don't grow on trees but in the NHL, you can't just be a pylon who sweeps in the garbage while doing nothing else. His lack of defensive play and skating ability puts too much pressure on the other winger along with JT. Ultiamtely, if Moulson is to stay on that line, it gives us a very small spectrum of the type players who can fill that right wing spot and in most cases that won't be a big time offensive contributor.

Grabs
It was disclosed that the coaching staff came very close to scratching him (along with Boyes) in game 2

Nabby in today? Anybody getting nervous to see Poulin play? Isles need to start working on scoring 6 goals a game.

Wow, I guess the DP hatred is shifting to Poulin already. Can anyone confirm for Kasper if he wears socks or not? We're going to have to work Poulin in sooner than later IMO. They have to start getting some type of assessment to his long term status with this team and certainly can't do that if he's only starting once every 10 games.
