A BORING TEAM This team plays something out there, but I am not so sure it can be classified as hockey. I can stand losses but at least make it exciting. Find someone who actually wants to carry the puck (comeau, park, hunter, bergenheim) and chastise the players who aimlessly throw the puck down the ice (HILBERT, guerin). Three games in a row that were sleepers for isles fans, make some changes gordon... |

Right On Time.

BS for anyone to get on Hilbert this season. This coming from a guy who WASN'T a supporter. I will say Guerin for a veteran does make some head scratching plays. I just can't stand the stupid players. Not just because of his penalty tonight (Part of it though). His hockey sense is not there mentally. A lot of the games HAVEN'T been boring though. The last two weeks have been pretty bad, but so what. |

i am not sold. Yeah, he has put in a couple of redirections and tap ins. I know he hustles and plays defense, but he kills the offense. If you don't believe me, watch him step for step next game and call me when he actually carries the puck for more than two seconds. He doesn't want the puck and I don't want someone like that on my team. I do not care if you are a defensive player. If you play in the NHL, you have to have confidence to carry the puck through the neutral zone rather than just getting the puck and immediately dumping it. |

2nd line
|
I think we're seeing the Bates scenario with Hilbert. Guy gets way too much ice time for a fourth liner. His lack of offensive skill is magnified with the extra minutes. He really needs to be a fourth line/penalty killer. Hopefully, if Comeau is healthy, he'll get some of Hilbert's minutes. Seriously, the guy is a fourth liner on a good team, at best. And that's stretching it a bit. |

By next year this time, it will all be forgotten. The franchise will be well on its way to an exciting recovery. So enjoy the holidays and snuggle up to your loved one, drink some hot chocolate and warm up near the fire... |
