Wonder if the “fire Lou” chants are back.

Why? Is Casey crying?

I'm not watching. I refuse to give a dime more than my MSG subscription.

Plus I expected them to lose.

Not sure. I pay for nhl center ice because I live in the Albany market and get blocked out by devils and Sabres games. Ore when on espn+ like tonight. So I refuse to buy espn+ too. Will reassess next season.

I don’t think that’ll be necessary.

Isles are getting outshot 24 - 9. I think their strategy must be to tire out the Canes with all that shooting.

I saw the final score and concluded it probably wasn't.

It's a tribute to Barry that he was able to get 3 pretty good seasons out of them.

Well, I think Covid helped that a lot. They looked pretty bad under him in his final year.....

That's why I said 3, not 4.

I've never been a fan. I couldn't understand why he was kept and others were sent down to Bridgeport over the past couple years.

Right. But truthfully, they look as bad over the last few games as they have all year

They had their share of games under Barry they were not ready to start games.

Lane cannot gloat, but you wonder what he is thinking.

Same here and they are not worth watching right now. If Lou had any honor, he would do the right thing and quit. The owners have been good to Lou. Time to return the favor.

They lose Clutterbuck and Martin after this season. Palmieri and Nelson is gone after next year. You have Lee and Pageau for 2 more years. Cizikas I think is 2 more.

Have to extend Dobson and Romanov before they hit free agency, so that’s probably next year.

We’re not signing anyone. We’re not gonna have any money. Trade Nelson and Palms at deadline if we’re not in it. Have to wait for Lee and JPP to come off the books because a buyout is not worth it. We’re gonna be in the same exact situation next season. Hopefully the team will let Ishakov get a chance and hopefully a Maggio or Dufour (doubt that) step up or we take a cheap flier on a fast young guy from another organization who hasn’t found his place in the league yet and somehow does here.

Either way, things look (frank)ed.

I would not wait until next deadline to move Nelson and Palms. Why so this team can be a tease and make Lou think they have a shot, and he does not move them at the deadline? Trade what you can and use Maggio, Ishakov, Dufour if you have to. At least you find out about them.
