All, a couple of quick questions about games on the Island...

Are there any special benefits with the lower or upper VIP tickets? (section 102 and low rows of 333 for example) Say parking? club level access? waiters at the seats? food or beverage included?

any help is appreciated

I didnt watch the game thankfully from what im hearing but it sounds like a take off from the last bruins game which we had no buisness winning. Defense skating in circles, crap pk, bruins with lopsided zone time. Sounds great. Sounds like last year. Youll be hapoy to know this is who is coaching our farm team. Great news. Preseason or not if fans arent a little alarmed by this id say use one of your free hands to pull your head out of your arse. Good to hear nelson is ok. Lets hope it stays that way. Ive seen these hes fine tweets from staple bfr after someone posts them only to hear the player is out indefinitely with an upper body injury a day later.

C'mon Capt....don't be so down. It's only preseason. There's time. Cappy has a plan. Give them a break. Garth will acquire the DMAN we need. They're tweaking the PK. It's up to the players. They have to work harder and execute. The systems are proven on paper 110%. The vets will provide leadership. Bailey is set to have his breakout season. Conacher is a 1st line forward. Free agents will sign b/c we have a new arena next year. Don't be so doom & gloom.

~passing the puke bucket~


Seriously, the feed DIED at 6-1 as the announcers were about to give their HONEST opinion on the state of this team heading into the season. Garth has a remote "Kill the Feed" device on his keychain. no wonder they don't get these games broadcasted. It's not Dolan. It's the GM afraid of scaring away season ticket holders.
There was more transparency in 1980's Russia than there is with this team today.

There were what, 5 nhl players on the islanders in this game... can we calm down just a little

My Garth Remote Neutralizer must have kicked on because the feed was fine for me.

He looked like he was 140lbs.

well we never beat carolina

How can you get this fired up over a game where just about the whole team was AHL bound besides JT-KO-Brock It was like watching a team scrimmage. Trust me you can't take anything out of this game except that when he gets bigger and stronger in a couple of year Ho-Sang is going to be filthy!!! He looks like he could be something special down the road.

Its not who is playing its how theyre playing. Without a structure. Believe me I get it. Its preseason. Not the regular line up etc (like I said) but when ive seen what I did in the last game and the other two I watched and this one its the same story. Defense is non existent. Lacksadaisacl play in the neutral zone. They havent skipped a beat. Means nothing I know.

I had to leave after the second, but we allowed 3 goals on 5 shots? Did we put nabby back in net?

True but you wont beat any teams consistently with a terrible defensive plan and horrible special teams. Lets hope the last preseason game isnt a sign of whats to come in a week. Hopefully capuano thinks it might be a good idea to go over this before next friday. Defense can be taught. I havent seen that from this coaching staff to date.

they could have won 6-1 tonight and i wouldn't go nuts. in their 7 preseason games they gave up 3 goals or less 5 times

I just dont get fired up for preseason. Trust me next week if this happens I'll be right next to you with the pitchforks. The D was horrible because they played bad not because of the system. They were where they needed to be they just sucked. Pedan Mayfield Donovan Czchuman all need more time in BP some more then others thats for sure

i agree..i think come second half of this season in bport you could see him itching for a callup and sticking

Add Dehaan and Pulock and there’s at least a heck of a lot of potential on our back end. I would prefer to go with that than have carkner and martinek dressed at the same time like last year..yeeuck.
