Wait until they figure out WHY Brian Strait was costing us all those points, when Capuano finds another one of his favorite piles of AHL doggie doo to put in the lineup every night, while one of our rookies sits in the seats.

Yeah, but that guy will play a "heavy game". I mean how can you not play him - whoever he is.

Alan Quine the new Strait. Guy will never be out if the line up while producing nothing.

Yes, they don't have to rip them, but they don't have to endorse them either. If they wanted them gone they would have put out a generic statement. I read it as we are stuck with Snow and his moron buddy Crappy for the season. Maybe I'm being pessimistic.

Just seems standard lip service. I already thought Garth and Cappy were going nowhere this season. If the Isles do not improve on last year, both Garth and Cappy need to go and Ledecky and Malkin will not get a pass from me.

I really hope he's slow playing this

Snow also said he could see #Isles adding another forward before the season, either in FA or trade. Tavares/Nelson/Strome/Cizikas set at C.

And then if they don't do anything they're Wang.

I will not have any patience for another Wang. Ledecky and Malkin while not being in control have still be around and sort of on the clock. They are in full control starting now so I give them a little time this year.

At least Quine has actually contributed something positive at some point

He did show some good things. This is not to say I want him in the top 6, but I would not call him a Strait type.

I think every coach/gm endorsement I've ever seen has meant "you're on notice"

chimera scored 20 goals playing with beagle and wilson. I think he has a really good chance of repeating those numbers.

They've actually owned the majority since the 26th officially during the GM meeting I'm Vegas... So maybe the new owners are in board with this clown show?

That's just from analytics I mean he scores more is mean I guess his possession numbers make the difference. I already like his no excuses on travel. Maybe wussy Frans and okposo didn't like it but let's be honest these guys make millions to play a game and are complaining about a commute that millions do daily in the city and make a thousandth of what they do

(frank)ing them both I likedon't Frans 3 yrs ago. I was a huge fan but he is a player that vanishes for long stretches and is extremely weak and terrible on the boards. We lost a game 6 as a direct result of that. Okposo good riddance I look fwd to playing against him.

I like the signings two guys that have no excuses and are serious about winning like jt and are willing to pay the price to do it. Also jc cc and cc would be a better line than our old 4th in my opinion
