I'm still trying to figure out what the ref called. Watched it a few times and still not sure. I guess he got the stick around the hands(ish). Now the Kadri penalty was a little iffy too, but, hey the Isles have a power play to waste.
- Isleshockeyman

That was a phantom call if I ever saw one and I agree Kadrie's penalty was bogus.

The PP is shockingly inept.
- Wildschwein

By shockingly you mean not so shockingly right?

These TSN guys are hysterical. I'll give them that the Chimera one was bad, but they're saying he only had one hand on the stick. Then the Kadri penalty. Saying he "got shoved down hard". He dove. Tavares hit him in the back, but not enough to launch him like that. Kari put his stick on JT's glove. That's a penalty every time. Doesn't matter how hard you pull, you put a stick in the glove area, you're getting called. Am i right, Upstate?
- Isleshockeyman

Correct sir especially if it takes him off puck or a scoring chance away

Yeah if he gave him 2 for being a douche it'd be legit but a hook was a reach.

The PP is shockingly inept.

I'm glad you're being kind. It (frank)ing sucks. Weight has the same problem as Crappy in that, when something isn['t going right, he keeps doing it. The PP is his baby and he's going to stick with it. That will be his downfall. That's the stubbornness (or ignorance) that will do it. IT'S NOT (frank)ING WORKING!!!!! When are you going to change it. Never! (frank) sake. Put Ladd-JT-Bailey (if you must) with Leddy & Seids, then Lee-Nelson-Strome with deHaan & JB (only because Pulock is in the A. Otherwise JB 1st, Pulock 2nd line). Sit Ladd in front of the net, then Lee. Get some visibility issues going for Anderson.

Isles are the only team in the league that looks more dangerous down a man than with the man advantage.

Just no penalty shots

Right?!

Krueger is a PP guru. Someone give that goofy looking (frank)er a phone call.

I'll have to respectfully disagree a bit. If Grabner's on the ice shorthanded, there's D-men crapping themselves.

Still can't believe he has 25(!) even strength goals this year. Vegas is going to love him.

Kali with the penalty to make it 4-1.

Islanders are consistent. They always choke when you expect them to. No surprises with this team.

Well still 3 points back but rags are next

ATTA BOY STROMER!!! I'm liking this chippiness to his game. I thought he was going to go earlier. He's definitely picked up some confidence under Weights' tutelage.

Getting out played by the maple leafs in a game like this shows you where this team is at after rebuilding for 10 years. This isn't a knee jerk statement I get that there's 30 something games left it's just a pretty sharp picture of our management's failure at just about everything. Bush league

TOR are not good defensively and we are losing, sorry but isles dont deserve to make PO's ......

Some great defense there. My God

Their defense is definitely their Achilles heel

They are their own achillies heel. This team doesn't know how to really win. Culture has to change.

Some great defense there. My God

Jeez, Capt. You obviously don't know anything about hockey. It's called the scramble defense. It confuses the opponent by making them think you don't know what you're doing.

They are just a different team on the road.

The only good news is this really isn't a 4 point game. Toronto will take 3rd in the Atlantic away from Boston soon.
