Is Halak starting?

Bad job losing to both CAR and NJD. Glad they got loser points but these are games they should win. Hope they can right the ship tonight against BUF w/o JT again.

They need to win without Tavares. They have the depth just have to hope Capuano has some sensible line up decisions tonight. Kid line kind of fizzled curious to see what he does tonight. Like to see Nelson with Grabo and Kulimen again if the kid line is broken up.

I would like to see them come out of the gate real strong tonight. Come out with jump ready to play.

To me the last few games on offense only okposo, nielsen and grabovski have been noticeable. In an odd turn of events strait looked good last game, he was physical and his passes actually cleared the zone. But Cycling the puck only to turn it over without a shot on net and losing the puck on O zone entrys are starting to really bite this team. They got away from dump and chase..btw does anyone go to the net anymore whos not lee?

Only one I notice going there occasionally is Bernier.

Not going to the net is just one reason I'm worried about this team and a long playoff run. The grit needs to be much better.

They need to win. Period. There are people that are happy with taking a point out of the last two games but there's a bigger picture here. This team has a history the last couple of years of playing down to their opponent. The saying that 'you can't win a title in October but you can lose one' is true. When they're two points short of home ice in a playoff round these games will be the reason. If this team wants to be considered a cup contender these are the games they need to win. They are playing their third potential lottery team in a row and it's bad enough that the most they can get is 4 out of 6 points. Anything less than that would be a failure IMO.

I'm not in the least worried about this team offensively. The last game after their 5 to 10 min vacation against The Devils they played in my opinion the best team defensive game of the season. They had minimal turnovers in the neutral zone and shut the Devils down with under 20 shots on net. They play that deciplined defensively for 60 minutes they will be hard to beat because this team is going to score.

(frank)ing Oakie needs to hit the net fcs.

Your right i forgot about him. But i think thats why brocks numbers dropped the second half of the year. Didnt go to the front of the net He was sick of getting hit by boychuks slapshot

Short term I think the Isles can do just fine, but obviously losing JT long term would be disastrous, as any team usually is without their star.

Toe drags that never work and shots 5-20 feet wide from the slot. Okposo at his finest. I hope someone signs him to a 7 million dollar per 7 yr contract.

Incredible.

Nobody going to the net perimeter shots when they can actually hit the net. Annoying game to watch.

Edit; leddy skates in and has nobody to pass to in front. Nobody wants to work and the kid line has been garbage.
