Dan Petriw: Lightning strikes Long Island

Cappy could not wait to play Nabby every game again.

now that Jon Sim has been released, I fully expect the bad mojo to leave the team and they'll turn it around.

straight face

who am I kidding, we're losing again tonight.

And you thought the Isles did not make moves.

When is Cappy getting fired... Christmas freeze is coming. Not sure if coaches are exempt from it.

Not sure what I want more... Cappy fired or the top pick overall.

Cappy can definitely help with that.

But I also want them to step it up... really want Vanek to resign.

Need defensive help... I'm willing to take Phaneuf @ this time.

Wang needs to put up some money.

If Garth doesn't fie Cappy soon... then it's time to axe Garth!!!

They got a point on Saturday. That bought cappy another 20 games.

Why rush back and risk serious damage? This season is done.

Looks to me he's "milking it"...

Is this based on your vast history as a neurosurgeon?

Please tell me your joking

I was looking at some stats and they are pretty depressing. After 34 games the Isles have only 4 current players with more than 4 goals. Here’s the top ten:
Taveres 13
Okposo 10
Nielsen 10
Vanek 6 (10 total for the year)
Moulson 6 (11 total for the year)
Bailey 4
Bouchard 4
MacDonald 3
Nelson 3
Cizikas 3

Tavares is on pace to score 31 goals. Okposo, Nielsen, and Vanek are on pace to score 24. Everyone else 10 or less.

How many give always and turnovers is AMAC expected to have by seasons end?

How many does he have now?

The isles will win all 3 games this week and Strome will score tonight. I've been fed up with this team this year but, I have feeling the team is going to turn things around and make a push for the playoffs. Nabakov isn't the best goalie in the league but, I think he has a huge positive influence on this team. I remember the turn around came last year when the Islanders had lost bunch of games in a row and were down 2 against Montreal. The team looked lost and skating like they were chasing butterflies somewhat like this year and Nabokov skated to the bench during a TV timeout and laid into the team. Everyone on the bench had their eyes on him. they came back a different team and won that game then went on their winning run to make the playoffs.

I would place a number at ten to twenty per game.

Let's use a 15/game average. That puts him on pace for 1,230 turnovers this season. Assuming he doesn't get injured (or benched ).

I've yet to see anything this season that leads me to believe our luck would turn around like that....
