The little things aren't there in his game. It's not only a matter of who he plays with. He's lost with the puck, he's lost without it. He's slow, he puts himself in vulnerable situations. I don't see any of the physicality in his game that I saw in his 9 game stint last season. I'm not worried though, everyone develops at their own pace.

All right then why the hell is he here. Send him down bring back Ullstrom who should be here. I dont care what you promised the kid.

Dude I will say it is I think I hope. God I hope

for my own sanity you better hope its sarcasm.

He can still learn things at the NHL level. May not be the ideal situation but it's still experience.

I don't care what they promised him either, but the kid scored goals at a near GPG clip last year in the WHL. He's got nothing left to prove in juniors, he's in the right place now. He's not a finesse player like Tavares or Strome, his "physical" (I quote that because I haven't seen much of it) game and big body are transferable to the lower checking lines. Some guys don't step right in and produce. I don't think it's time to panic on Nino.

Phew!!! I knew it all along. I really wish Ullstrom was back with the big club. I mean he cant do any worse then him. I will say that Pandolfo though I feel is not as bad as Roslton or Reasoner, but I am putting him the fourth worse on this team behind those two and Mottau

I don't get all the hate on Pandolfo. I get it for Rolston, Reasoner, and Mottau. Pandolfo is a 4th line guy who doesn't do anything special in the first place. He doesn't help necessarily but he also doesn't hurt.

I donthate the guy personally to be honest like you said he really does not hurt the team. He blocks shots and does the little things for the little minutes he gets. I am fine with him. Rolston and Reasoner well those two are on a whole different level

He hurts us by taking a roster spot from a young guy. He is also hurting Ninos development but thats nobodies fault but Jack for putting him on Ninos line.

I remember when we signed Reasoner I was pretty mad we didn't resign Konopka but i trusted Garth and said maybe this guy will add to our offense. this could be a good deal. Well here we are.

You can't really blame Garth for signing Reasoner. There was no reason (no pun intended) to think he would be the bag of sh*t that he is now.

Exactly who's spot is he taking?

No I agree with that but its up to Garth to waive him or do something. This guy cannot play for us next year.

Ullstrom and Haley.

I know most hate this guy on here but I rathe dibenidetto, or Haley

Ullstrom and Haley.
- UIF

The way I see it Rolston is currently taking Ullstrums spot.

Ullstrom and Haley.
- UIF

Ullstrom should be on the 2nd or 3rd line. I don't disagree that Haley could be playing but it's not that big of a deal IMO.

I could not disagree more with a statement. I am sorry but Pando is friggin awful. He is a waste of a roster spot. He can't skate, he does not hit, he does not win face offs, He does not fight, and he certainly does not score. There are 12 guys in bridgeport I would rather have on that line.

Why would anyone be on a high honestly? They lost to two teams that are in the bottom of the standings and lost horribly to one of them. Even if they beat Philly what does it mean, we've all seen this show before.
- Cptmjl

We won a game! We beat Detroit. To most teams thats not a momentous accomplishment. To the Isles. Its equivalent to a 5 game winning streak!



To many times.

I still think we come away with points tonight.

You asked... guys I would rather have play:
1. Ulstrom
2. Haley
3. Gillies.. yes Gillies.
4. Rhet
5. Casey Ciz
6. Dibo
7. Rhett
8. Collition
9. Romano
10. Mouillerat .

Out of curiousity, and since its your teams... you know those team tee's that have the players name and number on the back. Do the Isles have Bossy ones? I'd love to get one. I've seen Orr and Coffey ones recently and got me thinking of Bossy.

Last time I checked, he was a wing.

- BringBackBalky

True but we gotta blame someone.. and EVERYONE wanted him to resign the heart and soul of this team last year.. Zenon.

Last time I checked, he was a wing.
- BringBackBalky

My point is he does Nothing, nada, zip, zero, zilch. Value... none. He is too slow to be good at killing penalties too.

You asked... guys I would rather have play:
1. Ulstrom - Just came back from a concussion. Could be a conditioning stint
2. Haley
3. Gillies.. yes Gillies. - Didn't you say Pando can't skate?
4. Rhet
5. Casey Ciz - Center
6. Dibo - Useless rat face
7. Rhett - is he so good he had to be mentioned twice?
8. Collition - Center
9. Romano - Center
10. Mouillerat .

- WHO?

Sure you can. Snow let ZK walk. ZK supplied more of what the Isles needed then Reasoner could ever dream of providing. Again, Snow as GM should know these things. Snow signed Reasoner for the 4th line. Why? To add 8 or 10 goals? Thats the only possible reason Snow could have had. I'd rather have the grit and the winning FO %. Look no further then our GM if you want to know who Fudged up this season.
