Could be. If this games doesn't go well I will be hammered by the second period.

I'll be hammered by the first period either way.

Exactly he is afraid to play the kids for some reasons. Look what happened when he
started to finally play Pulock. It makes not sens for this coach as I really do not think he knows his players strength and weaknesses. He is embarassing

Tampa is sure not afraid to play Drouin and they hated the guy.

I know and he is playing good hockey. I just dont know what goes through his head. Bailey should definitely not be on the ice at all. He brings nothing to the table and any normal NHL coach would have benched him a long time ago. Is Bernier a better option? Dont know but he cant be any worse then Josh skating around aimlessly and looking like he is a lost little puppy

For what it's worth, Ricky Ledee just told me he thinks the Panthers are going to win the series.

He probably just stole Tavares' gloves. Or was that Rueben Rivera? Busts either way.

Islanders fans were reaching for the hard stuff as soon as we heard Zid and Bailey were playing.

Anyone know why they haven't announced a time for sunday yet? I'm sure we'll get hosed yet again and it will be an 8 oclock start, but it's after 3 on friday and they STILL don't have a time up.

And zidlicky is gonna be on the PP? Still really not going to have Boychuk out there. Guy with one of the best shots in the league, and we haven't seen it once in this series.

Depends on what other series are still alive. Think it depends on if caps flyers is still alive. If is isn't, I believe isles will be at 3

Someone said before it probably depends if Washington wins tonight. If not, they will probably get the early slot instead of the Isles.

Wash vs Philly is the reason

Let's be real, Boychuk is majorly struggling in this series. I generally deplore the excuse of "he plays in all other situations and we don't want to tire him out" but in this case, I don't disagree. He is having a really bad series and trotting him out there for additional time may not be the most prudent decision.

Weird he was one of our top defenseman last year playing extended minutes in the playoffs and there was no problems. I just feel that if these guys are NHL players they should be able to pick up the slack with no excuses. Back int eh days coaches would shorten their benches and ride only 4 defenseman and sometime 2 or 3 lines. No one complained then either

wedon'tknow if he is healthy either..but the speed and size of panthers is a bad matchup for 55 3 and 2 and they have to figure it out and fast

Of course he will be. He score one goal on pp in Detroit 2 years ago , a goal with Devils last and one goal for isles against the Devils. He defense is so bad it might change confuse the panthers.
Seems like a perfect fit

Yeah I have it figured out. Keep the puck in panthers zone more.

Wow, all these comments are discouraging. This series isn't over. Nothing is over until we decide it is! Was it over when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor? Hell no!

I rather Ralph coach this team.

He would be an improvement...
