Ironically, Chara and Greene were the only d-men who were not - in the +/- in this game.
- JohnScammo

They are old. Can’t play give Aho a chance. Oh wait cancel that Salo that’s the new one we want. Let’s keep signing the same song Cpt and Tannille.

I mean good on Chara but he was not in the arena for three of the five Tampa goals
- Cptmjl

Meh, Tampa scored 4 goals, and Chara was not available because he got into a couple of fights. He gave Martin a rest.

Did you watch Aho tonight? What was good about his game that you would want him to play before either Chara, Dobson or Greene? The latter playing imho very well.

Oh, he stunk for sure. Cost us two of the first three goals. But after sitting on the taxi squad and playing 40 minutes last year total, I wonder if they'll give him a couple of games. I can handle either Chara or Greene in the lineup, but both are a drag.
I would imagine Dobson returns and Aho is banished yet again.

Barry said he liked Aho and Bellows game. Barry is not happy about Wally's game.

He wasn’t on the ice for two for a game misconduct.

When did I say Salo should be called up? When did I even say aho should be called up? When did I say aho should play again? Go back to beating your wife. Oh that’s right you can’t do that anymore. Obsessed.

10-minute misconduct, but the result was the same. I still credit him for the 2 fights. Not much else worth watching tonight.

Complete garbage from top to bottom.

Which is unfortunate, because he's probably got the best shot on the team.

Tonight’s loss was on VArLaMoV

Aho was atrocious plain and simple. Let’s not even utter Chara, Greene or even Dobson in the same sentence. There’s a reason he’s been in the AHL and not played on a Barry team in the NHL the past couple seasons, because he’s not an NHL player. I think Dobson will get the kick in the ass he needed from tonight’s presser visit and will be back and better pick it up or Lou will make an early move.

Yep! Islanders need Wally. It's been a struggle for Dobson and Wally. It's not easy for young players on a win now team.

He's played on every line except for the one (nearly) everyone wants to see him on.

Just like game 7.

Just remember it's never the offense fault or certain vets.

I said I wouldn't mind seeing him but it's too early for that

Unfortunately I think a matchup with Tampa Bay was the wrong game to give Dobson a pressbox seat.

I kind of liked what I saw from Bellows tonight. When Cizikas is ready to play again, I'd like to see Bailey sit for a game.

Agreed. The point is I did not say it.

Fire Barry!

Bellows? Clutterbuck centering the 4th line? Aho? All due respect to Trotz I think we got the expected result perhaps even did better then expected holding out for 2 1/2 periods
