Shane Prince is (frank)ing terrible. Enough already the guy is a (frank)ing abortion. Brian Strait got beat how many times in two periods? I stopped counting at five. Thomas Hickey is (frank)ing trash and now he's our new pp star on the point. John Tavares is up to his usual horrible give aways and half arsed efforts but lets make pretend its not happening.

Thomas Greiss is the only reason why this team is still in this game yet they'll blame the goaltending if they lose. Rinse repeat. If you noticed pretty much everything I mentioned is a direct result of coaching due to personnel decisions but somehow it wont be Capuano's fault.

I'm not trying to make excuses for him even though it's going to seem like it, but I think he's beyond frustrated. Every game he's playing with a different winger. Its impossible to make chemistry when every game he's playing with not one, but two different wingers. His secondary assists are essentially non existent (can't find how many), and his line mates (as well as him) constantly turn the puck over, forcing him to play D.

They've done nothing to address the glaring weakness that is his wingers. After last year, you'd think they would have done something to improve the team and create some excitement, but nothing's happened, and I think he's just frustrated at this point.

If it bothers JT this much, he needs to be a captain and talk to the coach. He cannot just pout and try to be the nice little captain. Let the new owners know you are not happy and they need to make changes. Other star players do it and in multiple sports.

You are so right Cpt. JT is a bad and nothing further to say on big trade pickup Prince and Strait is Strait. These new owners better step in before July. I do not care what they have to do.

If you're the new owners, you're watching this and must be thinking......?

That was right up there with most on this thread saying Zidlicky was a great signing because he'd slot perfectly in as a seventh defenseman. I laughed at them then and im still laughing now. What is Brian Strait doing on the ice? This is unbelievable.

Don't 4get the some who agreed w/Hickey extension.....

They better be thinking we never should have agreed to the 2 year wait.

I dont disagree but he looks terrible. He had two good shifts in this game. He had no shots in the first period and who knows how many times he has turned the puck over? Par for the course this season.

They were the same people for the most part. I called them all nuts if they thought Zidlicky would be a seventh defenseman if you dont recall.

Just wait for the Brian Strait signing. If we dont have a new coach next season im taking a break from hockey. I can't believe I actually mean that.

The new owners better tell Garth he needs to run anything by them before they officially take over.

Anyone want to have a friendly isles bet...???

Kyle Okposo and Josh Bailey

Nice play everyone

Nice job, Frans

Frans the guy we have to sign.

Right now, this whole team blows.

They've been playing this way since the western road trip (at least), and have remarkably gotten points. They got those points cause those teams sucked. Now they're playing good teams. This shouldn't surprise anyone.

Nice job, Frans

Its incredible how Butch just cant say anything about how horrible a play that was by Nielsen. What a (frank)ing disgusting, half arsed amateurish (frank)ing play. Defensive fwd give me a break. Yeah we need to sign the third line center for five years that cant hit, play along the boards, take a hit or hold onto the puck. Sounds great.

They've been playing like this all season and somehow have managed points? It caught up to them im not shocked at all been saying it the entire season and got blasted for it.

Some of us got blasted about how they looked in the 2nd half last year.

....... "turns it over" , ........ "gives it away"

If this isn't "tuning out the coach", I don't know what is.

Unreal, making this G look like a stud, the Devils have scored more goals in 2 games than isles in 2 weeks worth....
