#Isles D: Leddy-Hamonic, deHaan-Boychuk, Hickey-Zidlicky; Strait-Pulock. Pelech rotating in.

Pulock still injured or is this a line up decision? This is the question!

I think you get Strome back in the lineup. In the past when guys have sat, they come back with a purpose. Fridays game is a must win, and i would love to see how Strome would respond.

According to today's practice he is still skating on the 5th line

I guess he is still injured if he is skating with strait otherwise you would think he would be in for Zid

You'd hope but you never know.

Whoever plays this team better do a much better job playing defense.

100% spot on Ses! Team needs to tighten up, especially in their own zone!

I know Tampa is still talented without Stamkos, but it should be a little easier to play D against them. Even against Florida, they had way too many guys getting prime scoring chances. Isles have a serious lack of two way forwards.

Agree, D zone coverage as a unit of 5 hasn't been that good for me.

Bailey for NH? Bailey did just score two goals.

Something tells me you think Bailey will go back to old Bailey again after his two goals?

I do have that suspicion yes.
(frank)er made me eat a bit of crow though. I had said I "wouldn't bet a used rubber that Bailey scores on Bishop". Then he score twice. Can't help but feel that I deserve some of the credit for his success, since he obviously read my post and it lit a fire under his ass.

I dont agree with this.......man the isles really dont know how to develope. I never understood how they didnt even invite Nino to training camp. Regardless of anything else, you should invite EVERYONE to try out.

I doubt it was Cappy lighting a fire under his ass.

If Cappy does not sit Nelson than Strome should be in for Bernier. Strome should not be sitting. Bernier is not a core guy for this team. It's the same for Pulock and he needs to be back in as soon as he is healthy.

I love how Cappy thinks he has tough lineup decisions. The Isles are down 2-1 and it's not exactly like the Isles have a bunch of guys going great.

I think the hit was fine.. I still think it's Interference bit I'm not surprised their was no call. With that being said. Game should have never gotten to that point
- Dan Petriw

Agreed about the hit. Am sure Boyle got as much of Hickey as he could for the Drouin hit but as I said in last blog, WHY was Hickey on the ice in the final minute of the game? (Cappy)

Also Noel, Hickey is NOT 6'0" tall.

Bailey for NH? Bailey did just score two goals.
- ses111

Bailey trying to elevate his market value. Would be the best thing he's done for the team if his sparks the interest of other gm's. Maybe get more than a bag of pucks for him.

Cappy is still crying about that hit. It's always injuries or the refs and never his coaching.

Find a known point of reference in the background of a picture of him. Bust out the pythagorean theorem and find a god damn accurate number, down to the millimeter. Come on, Noel.
