I was fine with Carkner in the game tonight. Time to bring in a rookie for one of the spots on D.

Hickey needs to get stronger- he's way too weak to be playing with the big boys.

No need for Boulton to play when Clutterbuck is playing.

I'm done with Hickey. LA knew what they were doing dumbing him. I cannot believe he was drafted so high.

These smurf dmen cannot clear the front of the net and give the Isles zero offense.

Exactly....they will bury Edmonton, because they don't play defense, and they will skate all over them...but then, the next game against adults on the back end.....FAIL!!!!!

According to Garth, Strait is a Top 4 DMan in the NHL.

I think it's time to give Strome a try. Same with Reinhart. Nothing to lose by letting them replace Strait and Boulton.

You said the same thing about Buffalo....

Reinhart CANNOT come back....don't get me started on THAT insanity....

Reinhart is laughing his ass off. The Isles did not need me.

Offense looked good minus a few. Clutterbuck and KO were great. Lots of positives. while this team they faced is awful they still played with a lot of heart and you can see they wanted a win and they earned it.

They played bad. the offense looked OK because Buffalo hasn't figured out how to play defense yet this season. Two games in a row now giving up three goals against teams that can't score.

You cant recall reinhart its too late. Were stuck with these Dmen if that's what you call them

I personally thought Donovan looked pretty good for a rookie. Need to let him gain experience.

Good grief, Cappy thinks they played great.

edit -- And Bouchard apparently played well, too.

I'm pulling my (frank)ing hair out after this one.

How does Grabner not play in OT and how does the guy who single handedly got us to OT play? How? Let the (frank)ing kids play, I can stomach this poop a lot easier if we're blowing it with kids and not NEVER WILL BES. I'm (frank)ing sick of it.

- mighty13duck

They should have buried Buffalo...one difference...they are an Eastern Conference team, so they play defense, reflexively. Also, Miller is a solid goalie. The Oilers play the way that Phoenix plays.....we eat up those teams....

Jack said the team executed real well. Blowing 3 leads

You can watch the press conference? I'd fire people after this crap.

He sounds thrilled with the game. Good thing you are not watching potvin.

I must have been watching a different game from Capuano...

I'll take Pete or Weight or my Cat at this point.

Wang doesn't fire anyone because he has no clue wtf he's doing.

The press conference is easier to watch than the between-periods feature on why Cappy's a great coach.

Funny thing is...why let Reinhart break camp with the team if he's gonna just sit in the (frank)ing press box? What does he learn from that? Where the Coliseum's freight elevator is?

Good night fellas. Until next time.

Can anyone answer my questions? Our coach sure as (frank) can't.

That was both funny and sad at the same time. I was like why are they talking about Al Arbour?

I'm tired of seeing Hickey with snow on his a$$...and I don't mean the GM...there's what bothers me, right there.....grow at least a c**t, if you can't grow ba11s....
