team mistakes cost us, not one player. fedotenko was being hounded when he coughed up the puck behind the net, Bergeron made some mistakes that cost us this time. there were plenty of other mistakes that were easily forgotten because the Flyers didn't skate back down and score. bergeron's game can be tweaked to limit those mistakes but it seems very easy to make him a scapegoat when we lose a close one. The guy has been playing pretty well and both he and Sutton both had a great game against the Devs the other night but now we should bench or trade him? Come on Islander fans, I cannot believe this. We're a better team with him. The opposing teams practices to try and expose his weaknesses, our Islanders practice to take advantage of his strenghs. He made some mistakes, fine, practice hard MAB and do your thing next game.

You're right. It's a strawman argument. What I was trying to say (albeit somewhat inarticulately) is that the criticism of MAB here could be applied to any offensive defenseman depending on the week/time . . . Campoli, Martinek, etc. It's just that MAB has a particularly high risk-reward ratio. Whatever some folks care to think today, he has undeniably strong offensive skills---literally the fastest skater and hardest shot on the team, both being key skills. Learning to use the wrister,more often, disguising his shot, and faking more slappers would raise his skills even further. Hey, he plays a risky game. My hope is that we have enough workers and lunchpail guys to balance him out. As for MAB costing us the game, there were sixteen minutes left to play when the goal occurred (if I recall correctly) and it was a one-goal loss. Personally I think there's plenty of blame to go around (DP was not stellar, to put it mildly) but way too much negativity in general here. |

Someone take Bergeron in a room and show him some video of Al MacInnis on the power play, with what to do with a booming shot. You can learn from the best. That's what Paul Coffey did watching Denis Potvin in the Stanley Cup in 83. Potvin was nice and relaxed with the puck, and getting the puck out of his own defensive zone. |

All I was trying to say was we need to switch the power play up when its not working against that team, not completely change it. |

The guy has been a defensive liability his whole career. It got him run out of Edm and he's been a train wreck defensively since he's been here. His shot is the only reason he's still in the league. Oh, did I mention he's horrible. |

Why does it seem like every single post you put up as a reaction to a quote starts out with "Wrong" or "That's not right?" |

If you're going to start a demeaning thread about the guy, at least spell his first name correctly. M-A-R-C Face it, the Isles will lose every now and again. The Isles made plenty of stupid mistakes that cost them the game. You can't honestly blame the whole thing on Bergeron. Drink a beer, you'll feel better. |

MAB and his spotty play hasn't been just this past game but he is responsible for clutch goals for the opposition. Not to say he is terrible, because he is not as bad as some other Isles d-men, but as we all know MAB has no defensive game whatsoever. MAB gets caught so many times being in too deep which leads to breakaways . He did it several times in that blowout vs. Carolina as well. Bring on Berard!
