Think this DP v. Nolan thing may turn into a Hasek v. Nolan thing??

A bad situation it is. I hope DP and Nolan get an understanding as problems between them could cause bigger longer problems than we have now.

Last night was ugly, very few positives to take from it. One would be Blake Comeau. I hope Nolan has learned to play #57 more on the PP. The guy has more poise with the puck than the rest of the team combined. He just has to have some more guts with the puck instead of always dishing to the point, but good things happen when he handles the puck.

It's just a bad year, our team is just a shell of what we started out with. Even Nolan said he felt like he was coaching the Bridgeport Soundtigers instead of the Islanders. But aside from just a couple of young players we cannot build a contender with what we have in our system. Snow is going to have to get creative to get some relatively young talent in here next season.

I sold it all, retired and moved to Fabulous Las Vegas!

You know something...What do you expect? We lost alot of talent last to free agency last season..If you don't have the horses, you can't win the race..And it's apparent..We paced the field going into the first turn but in the home stretch, we came up dead last..We were sold a bill of goods..

I want to preface an observation about DP last night so the "bashers" don't get the wrong idea
and turn this into a pile on DP thing.

When Davison made that last turnover on the 8th goal and then had the fight...
DP shot his gloves out the door towards Dubie rather forcefully.

You never show up your teamates and in this little gesture it was clear how frustrated he was with Davison, or moreso with himself.

he had a poor game and so did our patchwork team.

I know he and Nolan will iron out the small details.

This was a stinker that the players can easily forget by putting in a better effort and taking that frustration out on the Panthers.

Really? I didn't get that sense. I saw someone just pushing the gloves out the door. I think we're overthinking this a bit.

He stunk last night. The team stunk last night. Garth Snow stunk at the trade deadline. There's enough stink out there to make even the biggest pig to pass out.

Yes REALLY.

The replay is on MSG plus today, if you or anyone catches that clip,
come here and tell me he didn't shoot the glove off with force.

I saw it live. Didn't see the replay. Maybe I missed something. If he did show frustration, I'm glad. He's showing he's human. Rather have that than an icy response. Go Yanks!

Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't this the first time Nolan has called out DP in a press comments after the game? So it's happened once and now they are "in a feud"?

Come on. DP was lousy. Everyone knows it. His "no whatever" comment is exactly what a player should say afterwards. He's frustrated with the way he played and instead of spouting off and saying something he'd regret, he said nothing at all...just like he should.

I have no problem with Nolan's comments. I don't think he should have left DP in the game. Should have been pulled no later than the 5th goal. Otherwise, I don't think there is a problem between the two of them. Nolan looked pretty composed to me on ITV and I didn't think there was anything really malicious in his comments...just a frustrated coach and frustrated player. That's all.

And as we know, the NY press has never overblown anything in the past.

OK, I think I'm going over the the ranger's board now. I can read more positive things about the Isles over there than I can here.

All these so called expert fans kinda make one wanna :puke:

And the ones that make things up just to sound important, well I hope they get their head outa their ass soon.

Who is all this "talent" we lost again last season? Not to rehash, but who is exactly making contributions to their new team that we miss from last season?
