1st line pretty flat.... too quiet a night for JT. CJ needs to stop those shots.....PP not the same. We all know Boychuk being bumped by Vis is effecting it.... why can't Cappy see that. C'mon JT get some point for the win

Conacher is useless. JT and KO have to cycle with themselves while Conacher is shadowing Tavares for some unknown reason. That line needs him off it.

Agreed. Enough with conacher.

I agree Grabner returns put Lee on with JT and KO. Grabs with Nelson and Strom

Our guys really need to get their heads out of their asses.

Butchie just said "he flipped it back toward Chad's Johnson"

I'd love to know individual players ice time this eve. I feel like Matt Martin leads the team in ice time tonight

tavares was at 14 minutes before his last shift. thats far too low.

Martin has been terrible so far this season. Worst forward on the ice not name conacher

I really am baffled that with all the talent the isles have that they chose to go with Cory conacher on the top line. I get it, he's fast and shifty but i honestly feel like he's hindering Tavares play.

no question conacher is hurting that line

When the isles ice the puck and the players are tired, why does crappy not call a timeout???

Off game for JT. Time to get a real linemate on the top line. Nelson or Lee will make a big difference. I'm use to rooting for Tavares in the points department while we lose. I think winning and Tavares having a crap nightworks better.

JT was fine Conacher is the new Boyes, Bouchard etc of that line.

2 points is 2 points is 2 points. we are winning games we would have lost in years past. I feel bad for KO and JT...........they are on a two man line. when cappy finally realizes that cory needs to be on the third or fourth line.....we will have more offensive production. I like Kuly on the first line. anyway....just my 2 cents...sleep well Isles Fans!

I agree Conover is poop. But JT was not JT. Even on PP. Can't blame the Smurf for that

boychuk needs to be back on the top pp. without that canon teams just take away the low play. he needs to be back there, when we were scoring on the pp. come on crappy.

Kulemin is becoming a favorite for me and nice to see Nielsen light up the score sheet. A lot of work to be done still and someone who can coach an NHL team needs to have a chat with Capuano.

1) learn when to call a timeout
2) when a guy is completely bossing your 1st PP unit, you leave him there
3) the fourth line doesn't HAVE to come in following every goal
4) when it's obvious your team has gotten "comfortable" light a fire under their asses.

I could go on, but those are my biggest bugaboos right now. Listen, ecstatic we're 6-2 and it's nice we're winning games where we're far from our best, but there is a ton of time left and a lot of potholes we have to dodge. Gotta tighten the ship up and it starts with the coach.

Yeah I dont get it.

I'm through with Matt Martin. He's terrible.
- Charlie21

Sometimes I think the only reason he's playing is because he's going out with Boomer Esiason's daughter...

Lol. Has nothing to do with the Isles. Just absolutely slaying a big time Rangers fans daughter.

That's still at least two weeks away...the 4th line plays way too much...and the defense still struggles at times...

The Isles get good press on the Boomer and Carton show...

everyone laughed at us when we paid grabbo 5 mil and kuli 4.1 mil. I'd take 3 kuli and 3 grabbos for that type of money any day of the week. Excellent 2 way guys that are offensive, have great outlet passes, and are just flat out solid all around. They shut down on defense and are a threat with the puck. Those 2 and Nielsen might be one of the best lines in the league.

Absolutely. I wish carton would just come out and ask, "I know you love the Rangers, but how does it make u feel that your hot daughter is constantly being t itty facked by a player from their cross town rivals? "
