timintey : 10/30/2014 4:56 pm

Projected Lines:
89 Cory Conacher 91 John Tavares 21 Kyle Okposo
84 Mikhail grabovski 51 Frans Nielsen 86 Nikolay Kulemin
27 Anders Lee 29 Brock Nelson 18 Ryan Strome
17 Matt Martin 53 Casey Cizikas 15 Cal Clutterbuck

Projected Defense Pairings:
2 Nick Leddy 55 Johnny Boychuk
14 Thomas Hickey 11 lubomir visnovsky
44 calvin de haan 37 brian strait

Ocho Cinco gets the start between the pipes. Hammer skated this morning but is not deemed ready to go but is real close. Bailey will take a little longer but made the trip.

Stealthily attacking
By-Tor slays his foe
The men are free to run now
From labyrinths below
The Wraith of Necromancer
Shadows through the sky
Another land to darken
With evil prism eye...

interesting

Fish : 10/30/2014 10:33 pm : link

no doubt thats what we need.

Is Cizakis playing? JT?

We never

Fish : 10/30/2014 10:40 pm : link

have traffic in front.

outclassed

Dave M : 10/30/2014 10:44 pm : link

Colorado did their homework. They know where our passes are going before we do.

Sorry guys

timintey : 10/30/2014 10:48 pm : link

I came up small tonight. This sucks. Started showing life toward the end of the first. JT hitting the crossbar could've been a game changer

There is no improvment

Fish : 10/30/2014 10:58 pm : link

with these players. None of them are growing and getting better. Its on the coaches.

Way to come

Fish : 10/30/2014 11:00 pm : link

out on the PP. Nothing established.

I think our severe lack of size is going to kill us.

BlueHurricane : 10/30/2014 11:42 pm : link

Hopefully this team is not going to maddeningly inconsistent this year. Win four lose two, win two lose three blah blah blah.

I would love for us to bring Peter L back.

How 'bout that Kreider guy, huh?

NHL goaltenders, isn't it?

What's up with redbeard hating on Hank?

Davisian : 10/31/2014 12:12 am : link

Are you guys gonna take that shit?

October hank is a different animal

redbeard : 10/31/2014 12:14 am : link

Hurts to lose to

Metnut : 10/31/2014 9:11 am : link

the Jets and Avs when we have the California trio coming up. The effort simply needs to be better. We can't blame this one on the goaltender tonight, even if he didn't play well.

Oh look..........

RANGER TROLL

They were dominated in every facet

Dave M : 10/31/2014 9:45 am : link

Just pushed around out there. Colorado was faster, stronger, smarter. It was just an ugly effort. By far, the worst game they've played this season. Roy got the match ups he wanted all game. Jack just kept putting L4 out there during stoppages. De haan has been awfulb lately and may need a night off. He can't play with Strait. He's not good enough to play with such a terrible hockey player. The next step of de_wanging this team is to get rid of the mickey mouse coach.

Simple Jack strikes again!

Quoting verbatim from Jack Capuano's Press Conference

Mike in NY : 10/31/2014 10:18 am : link

When asked about the state of the team: "Yabba Dabba Dooooo"

Varlamov played good too

Dave M : 10/31/2014 11:04 am : link

But most of those shots were point shots with no interference in front. Varlamov was so impressive I'd rank him 4th in the league just ahead of lundqvist. If only we had Kreider to injure him we may have had a shot.

arcarsenal : 10/31/2014 12:24 pm : link

Yup, #adonis'd

Who's the lead dog between the pipes at the mausoleum these days? A trash can might be able to stop more pucks than LOLak and #85.

We will always have this to keep us warm and fuzzy

BlueHurricane : 10/31/2014 12:37 pm : link

Until we kick the Rags ass in January.

Nice deep booger pick in the background too. Hahahaha

arcarsenal : 10/31/2014 12:42 pm : link

Very Jets-ian.. feeling warm and fuzzy about a regular season win in October or being in "first place" 3 games into the season.

Cuuuuuuute :)

You can still see his whole finger. That's a snot rocket, not a booger pick. Leave it to a fishstick fan to not know the difference.

If he is not buried to the first knuckle

Fish : 10/31/2014 1:48 pm : link

Sucks. I gave him support last year as there were many holes to fill. This year with talent brought in, same mistakes and lackadaisical efforts is showing. Its bad news. Its time to make the change. As that article says...why have ocho cinco play as much.

Need to beat the Sharks tomorrow night.

Mike in Long Beach : 10/31/2014 1:58 pm : link

2 can play that game

Kostka

KWhite2250 : 10/31/2014 2:03 pm : link

Could be in our top 4 dmen. Sorry but viz, de haan and strait have been awful. They have 0 nasty in them. Smurf dmen all around and we wonder why we get outmuscled. The best part was last night on one play 2 a s fwds crashed thr net and were on top of Johnson and Strait and De Haan were trying to hold them up. Fucking give them a stick, start some shit. Every team knows the isles D isnt going to do anything to them in front

arcarsenal : 10/31/2014 2:09 pm : link

Kostka is awful. I'd give him to you guys for a bag of pucks.

Was great.

Just like Rick and Ilsa will always have Paris....

Greg from LI : 10/31/2014 2:40 pm : link

Styx fans will always have October. Cherish it.

Its amazing the amount of trolling the Rags fans do on an Isles thread

BlueHurricane : 10/31/2014 2:47 pm : link

Guess that one cup 20 years ago wasn't enough to kill the massive inferiority complex built up some 40 years ago.

we have one game in like 9 days

Greg from LI : 10/31/2014 2:48 pm : link

We're bored

Strait may as well sit down at center ice when its time for his shift

BlueHurricane : 10/31/2014 2:49 pm : link

He would do a much better job just sitting there and yelling at the opposing team as they skate by then he does actually trying to play defense. Plus he would have no chance of screening his goalie or kicking a puck into his own net.

arcarsenal : 10/31/2014 2:50 pm : link

If it makes you feel better, I was born right at the close of the Icelander dynasty so basically they have sucked complete ass for my entire life as a hockey fan and was never able to build up a complex towards them. :(

arcarsenal : 10/31/2014 2:50 pm : link

The Devils, on the other hand...

God, I fucking hate that team.

way back when....

Greg from LI : 10/31/2014 3:01 pm : link

I was just a young tyke in elementary school in Levittown in 1981-1984 (at which point we moved to Virginia), and I'm pretty sure I was the only kid at St. Bernard's who was a Ranger fan.

Holy shit to this Brian Strait stat from the article:

Mike in Long Beach : 10/31/2014 3:03 pm : link

Quote:

One major reinforcement is on the way, and that�s Travis Hamonic. This is a welcome development, because the Islanders have given up 36 goals this season and Brian Strait�s been on the ice for 15 of them.

Keep in mind, Strait rarely plays the PK, so that stat likely translates to him being on the ice for like 15 of 28 regular strength goals or something like that. And his minutes are limited to begin with.

That's unreal.

Yep......... I can't wrap my head around the fact he is getting ice time. I think he went to the Tom Quinn school of private investigation and evidence gathering.

I realize

Metnut : 10/31/2014 3:14 pm : link

that de Haan hasn't been great, but he's probably still getting up to speed after a training camp injury and is too young to be asked to carry dead weight like Strait. Pairing him with Hamonic will be a big help.

I'm surprised Cappy hasn't given Donovan even a single game yet considering how bad Strait has been.

Take the 1st goal last night for example

Dave M : 10/31/2014 3:19 pm : link

Yes de Haan got beat by Duchesne but Duchesne beats many dmen. Strait doesn't even start to go in front (because he's too busy double teaming a guy on the boards) until the av player was receiving the pass. Also on Mackinnon's 2nd goal Strait wad late into the d zone and just gave a weak swipe at his stick and you know what happened. That's every night. He's a bum.

Great article

Fish : 10/31/2014 3:41 pm : link

which spews everything we have been saying during these last 2 games. Cappy will not have a job if they swoon here. 3 more losses and he is done. If articles are being written then you know.

looks like Conacher off top line

Dave M : 10/31/2014 5:44 pm : link

Nelsen practiced with L1. Hamonic skated with De haan.

I'll be rooting for you boys to go 1-1-1
