Ladd DID have 23 goals in his first year as an Islander, and did score close to 30 goals earlier in his career, so maybe Barry thought he could be that guy again.

Hey, I'm just trying to delve into Barry's normally brilliant hockey mind. So maybe I'm not really a mind reader after all......

I think we could really use some words of wisdom from pol321 and makku at this point. I'm pretty sure they'd have the answers

"2 hearts beating as one"............was that the line?? I forget. Also, who said it?

What we really is need is nyystripes and his eternal optimism.

When ses is upset he prays to Jesus to take his sins away and he is reborn innocent and pure

haha, stripes was the one that was always drunk, I think.

The two hearts beating as one was Sluggoboa (sp?)
Makku and Pol had long been the grammatically challenged posters and their incoherent ramblings were well known by all...then suddenly during a huge debate we got: "Pol, this is Makku"
Sluggo responds" "At last, two hearts beat as one...this is going to be awesome"

Sluggobalboa I think was his nom de plume. Yes, that was one of the all-time funniest lines on the old Yahoo board.

Definitely some spirited conversations there. Some good folks mixed with....others
Sluggo was great

He was. As was 4cups, justshoot, 5on3, "gorilla", 4in4, isles7983, etc. Too many to remember....

Then there was the craziest troll of all time: "Jim The Hammer".

Everyone is going nuts all over the place in isles land and yes ladd probably shouldn't have been in there but he wasn't the reason they lost. The 5 minute pp and the 38 second 5 on 3, bailey shooting it over a wide open net, toews not obtaining the red line and pulock missing a breakaway all are reasons. They didnt capitalize on their opportunities and that is why they lost

What did you expect?

To all those (Scammo and co) who ridiculed me before the PO's started for saying Barry will use Ladd if he needs grit and net-front presence..............

Gotta hope bellows and wahlstrom both have a shhit forst mentality and rip it
- Upstate_isles

I hope they both shat frost out their ass before they rip one too.

Next prediction....

Eberle out, Ladd in. Ebs isn't cut out for this physical series.

I hope Trotz goes EXTRA heavy and pounds the hell out of Tampa for playing so chippy/dirty against most of the team, but Nelson in particular. Point isn't the only Tampa player with some physical weaknesses. BREAK THEM DOWN!

Hopefully, Barry will read HB and the PP should be fixed as well as his line up.

What do you think?

I do think pulock was open a few times on the 5 minute advantage but I also believe if barry could read this blog that we would have won the series already

I was not happy with the loss last night. I would have been pissed if Isles did not get past the 2nd round.

He definitely was on the 5min penalty. And they kept coming back to the right side. Not sure if was Leddy or Toews. I was screaming at the tv. Separately, when Bailey lifted the puck over the net even my wife (who knows nothing about hockey) screamed at the tv 😆😆
