Gross. Since you're from Boston, I'll give you a six pack of Samuel Adams Winter Lager. Then you'll do what I need you to do.

Coach is a lame excuse. Islanders are tearing it up despite having the worst coach in the league.
- rangerdanger94

agreed for the most part, especially with the deficiencies that are apparent at many positions.

but the big one imo, is that hall/ebs etc were basically given no help or insulation and pushed into bottom feeding for 3- 4 years, and now that theyre given a marginally better roster on paper, it's
"k, well we told the fans 5 years, so .....go and start winning"

i think that some incredibly marginal stuff gets piled on eakins at this point. even pretty standard stuff that many coaches have employed that happened to not work out. hindsight is running rampant for so many decisions from the top down at this point.
but at the end of the day, one cant argue with results and they aint there.
if they make a coaching change, i hope its a huge systemic change to a defensive system and not just a change for the sake of it

Are you drunk? You couldn't even spell my buddy's name right. It's "Housep Arrest." And, no, this is YzermanIsTheMan's cellphone account.

I'd rather see Sean Watlman's junk again than see Paige clothed.

You shouldn't since you think Paige is hot. That evaluation alone makes you judgement skills tainted and not worthy of discussing.

Or maybe the leadership (JT, Boychuk) stood up and got everyone on the same page and created accountability in the lockerroom.
- rangerdanger94

Doesn't hurt but I think it has more to do with Capuano not playing the fourth line against other teams first lines and completely misusing his roster in ways I didn't think possible along with other ridiculously stupid coaching decisions. If he was still putting Matt Martin out against the getzlafs and crosbys of the league consistently we would still be on a losing streak. He was doing that. He's not anymore and we are winning. Shocking.

Every single move, player deployment, minutes, benchings, demotions Eakins has done has been a "wtf are you doing"move.


tell me one single good move Eakins has done since he's been here? Just 1

Two things between this comment and Ranger-danger's

1. I'm glad cross-town rivals can agree on something besides the Devils need to suck.

2. (frank) Paige, but only metaphorically. She is absolutely terrible. Luna was hotter. Adam French even agrees.

See, you got me wrong. I think both the Devils and rangers need to suck.

Yes, but, my 1st point still holds true that Islander fans and Rangers fans both agree that the Devils need to suck. Just like everyone who follows the NHL wants the Penguins to fail outside of Pittsburgh fans, yet each fan has other teams they want to fail.
