Trying to figure out how hickey is a +14.

Better trade him while his value is high

Either trade him or if nobody wants him im totally ok with pouring gasoline on him and lighting him on fire.

I can't even get excited about that goal. I'm still pissed at the 3 they gave up.

guy hits a bigger guy and falls and they call interference

Halak with a save % of .765 so far. That won't win many games.

Every time I see a Wild player wind up I cringe thinking its going in.

Officiating is pretty terrible so far today.

I'd like to find staple and give him one of these

Pelech watched Aho skate right by him to the bench and changed anyway. He couldn't possibly have expected any Islanders to be behind him. He's gotta be able to see the puck didn't make it all the way in deep. That was absolutely terrible.

And Leddy was on the ice for the goal, but Pelech wasn't. So Leddy is -2 so far, and Pelech is +2. Just an example of how the +/- stat is flawed.

Kempny to the caps for a 3rd.

Could've jettisoned hickey with that trade.

Thomas Hickey being a + player is the only example I need.

How the (frank) do you reverse that call?!

What a (frank)ing joke, these guys must want to have an early dinner and fly out to the next game they can butcher

as an official the only way you do that is if one guy says with 100% certainty that he was out of the box cause they blew it dead for a penalty

Then they miss a blatant trip on Leddy, jesus christ. They owe us a few calls late

I refuse to blame the refs for this game and I don't think you are either but it's some (frank)ing terrible officiating today. They had a PP right before that they did nothing with of course and as usual we're playing from behind after giving up 3 goals in 4 mins. So much wrong with this game today.

Unfortunately that's what this team does. Plays from behind and depends on calls from inconsistent refs and whines when things don't go their way.

No it's pretty rare I'll blame an entire game on the refs, Isles dug themselves their own hole on this one...but the refs are doing a terrible job too.

they have played well minus those 3 minutes

Jesus Ladd is so (frank)ing badd. Having him and Fritz on the same line is not a good look. They're pretty much the same player minus $5,500, 000.00.
