Well yeah I agree totally about our lack of point presence. That is definitely a big issue. As far as Streit, I think its more so frustrating for him because he's been rehabbing hard in order to return this year. To not return this year has to be upsetting to him. However, definitely not the worst thing in the world. Let him rest all summer and get ready for camp. |

As Hamonic gets better so will our PP. I see him as the all everything on the blueline in years to come. With Streit back and Hamonic a year older, we'll be fine back there. We just have to get a better PP coach than Scott Allen. Cappy's success does not rest on this current PP, nor should a decision to keep him here next season. |

I don't understand why he isn't on the PP now instead of Franz. If Cappy can't put MacD or Hamonic on the point instead, he doesn't deserve to be coach next year. Simple as that. Coaching is putting people in the best position to succeed. Franz cannot succeed as the point on our PP. We've seen this bulls..t for 2 seasons now. Enough is enough. |

Well if Cappy is coming back they'd better bring in an assistant that knows what he's doing in that respect. 4 PPs tonight, zero shots. Unheard of. PP is even worse now than it was when I brought it up this afternoon... new low. |

who said you only need home grown talent? it's not sign either spend money on fa's or only build with home grown talent. the only way to build a competitive team is to utilize the draft-replenish the system, then "sift the sand" for talent (waivers, free agents), know the league/the players and make efficient trades to get what you need to win. as far as the late fall early winter disaster my point is the job Caps has done since he got hired is truly incredible. if you noticed Jack Capuano has done two things develop the young players he has and develop a winning attitude/culture on the Islanders. |

I don't want to jinx anything, and please no one get angry at me, but has anyone noticed besides Jurcina, our injuries diminished more and more the longer Cappy's been coach. That's not to say we wont see another injury to one of our players, but it's odd that since the coaching change it's been waning more and more. Style of coaching? Practices? Just an observation. I haven't really had to update the Injury scoreboard in quite some time except to take names off. |

I don't think Webby you can pin this on Scott Allen. The fact is our power play has sucked for much of the last several years under a few different assistant coaches. I think it'll improve only if they get a top notch star to ride shotgun with Taveras.....a big scoring threat. However, those cost a lot of dough so I wouldn't hold my breath. |

I realize the PP was about as bad as it could possibly last night, and it has been frustrating at several times this year. But we are ranked right in the middle of the pack, i believe howie said 14th last night. of course we can always improve but I would read this thread and think we were in the bottom 3. |

Oh crap. That sucks. Goaltending just became that much harder on our team. Get the surgery as soon as possible. |

I think that webb should be banned for 1 day from the site. It didnt take but 2 hours for this injury to take place. During your 1 day downtime you can think about what you have done, or go give your powers some good use and go blog on the rangers site about henrik and gaborik |

A PP ranking of 14 is average. But average is not good enough if you want to be a playoff team and beyond. And like I said, if you go back a few years, our PP has really been awful for the better part of the last decade. |

But it's been Allen's responsibility these last couple of years, so he gets the critique. |

Our PP ranks 14th on paper, but anybody who watches this team can see how sloppy and disorganized the PP has been all year long. Hopefully we get a little bit of an upgrade in personnel for next season, and a huge coaching upgrade because the PP is important, especially when you get few PP chances a game like we do

The last two years Allen has been behind the bench.............but the problems go back to way prior to that. |
