He's been more physical and has stood up for the guys on his line he's a good player but with that contract people expect more

UFAs are always going to be overpaid. Ladd is no exception. Do I wish he'd do more? Of course. But at least he's contributing.

OK, I exaggerated a little. Fischler did ask the question: Something stupid like, I think you're the most underrated player on the team. What do you think? Ladd then gave a long-winded answer about him and others doing the little things to win games that don't necessarily end up in the scoresheet. But he didn't exactly contradict Stan either....

Good for Ladd. He has been better this year and is actual helping. The back must be better.

He's also playing with a Calder candidate that's feeding him the puck.

I'm not knocking Ladd. He's the only one on the team other than Lee that will stand in the dirty areas.

Barzal is a huge difference this year for Ladd. Ladd does get credit for going to the net. I thought Ladd getting 23 was pretty good without being on JT's line last year.

Earlier this year.......Hey Eberle you have been traded to the Islanders.......Eberle, I get to play with JT oh baby, wait I'm with a rookie?
Now DONT YOU DARE TAKE THIS KID AWAY FROM ME!!!!

Oh and by the way, looking forward to watching US world junior team cause there is this guy playing....

He figures to be a big part of that team, being a returning player from last year's gold medal team.

Looking forward to wataching that USA/CAN outdoor game.

Wonder if Bellows is still at least two years away from joining the Isles?

Probably, if not more. Talent on the roster is only growing and, while he's having an awesome year this year, let's not forget that he didn't exactly impress much as a freshman at BU.

Probably goes to Bridgeport next year for a full year, at least.

Truthfully, I think he gets traded at some point and we never even see him in an Isles sweater. Now would be the time since he's having a very strong season in Portland.

Stan Fischler said that Ladd is the most underrated player on the Islanders. Ladd agreed with him.

I think he said something like this.

Really not a huge need at forward for the Isles. I would include Bellows in a deal for a much needed dman.

Don't know what your budget is but there are 6 tix available in the back of section 15 (Isles shoot on that net 2x) for $52/ticket



Edit: Probably should have specified that these are on SeatGeek

thats not bad thx

I mean who last night at end of game said "where is this team on other nights especially when they are on the road"

we literally beat the one of the hottest teams in NHL in Caps
Oh and btw, isles are 10-0 when scoring first. You cant stress enough that playing with a lead is way different.

Its nights like last nght when i watch them and say this team can win a cup.
Halak was excellent. It funny you can tell what Halak and Greiss you going to get in the first 5 mins of the game.

And yes, Goaltender is your best PKer and proven again last night.

i actually said out loud mid-game, "did the capitals play last night, or do they just suck?"


looks like they just suck

pretty awesome bellow doing well, he plays with and edge too. Its been along time since isle had a top 2 line winger that plays with an edge (gritty)
