It's like having your big brother defend you when what you need is the guy your big brother calls. <br /><br />I would much rather have Gillies getting minutes than Martin, who really hasn't shown he belongs in the NHL, but is too young to give up on. Let him grow up a little in the minors the rest of this season, and give Gillies the minutes.<br /><br />JP in NJAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2932064306183774309.post-68762780221019499082011-02-03T12:19:44.928-05:002011-02-03T12:19:44.928-05:00i am a die hard islander fan and i am tired of the...i am a die hard islander fan and i am tired of the abuse....We need to get rid of Scott Gordon from our organization he is the worst coach and not just in hockey in all sports. We need a real coach someone mature and experience to teach our young players.. And i don't agree with you guys on gillies we need him in the line up to enforce the young guys to play feisty i believe they are more comfortable when he is in the line up... i do agree with exchanging some players with BridgeportUnknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11239186790280541886noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2932064306183774309.post-82998957487138219912011-02-03T09:17:03.813-05:002011-02-03T09:17:03.813-05:00Looks like we saw last night's game a lot alik...Looks like we saw last night's game a lot alike. I made a similar point about Gillies. I think the combination of Gillies/Schremp on the fourth line could give Konopka a rest. I know Bridgeport doesn't have much to spare, but seeing Wyshart replace Reese and Rhett replace Colliton down the stretch would also make this fan a little happier.JPinVAhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00579224880354214613noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2932064306183774309.post-78458425399603267422011-02-03T08:57:29.898-05:002011-02-03T08:57:29.898-05:00I agree completely Dee.

Rick may never be the same - having to change styles AND recover from injuries - but to let this happen is childish. Time to move on, and time for Snow/Wang to show they're SERIOUS about winning - now.neilmairsnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2932064306183774309.post-49231277597839697532011-02-03T08:23:39.564-05:002011-02-03T08:23:39.564-05:00I would agree with you, but there's the teeny ...I would agree with you, but there's the teeny problem with Gillies: The guy only plays two or three minutes most nights he's in the lineup. I would rather have the guys who skate more in the lineup than a guy who can fight, to be quite honest. <br />I think what's happened here is a sheer lack of aggressiveness on behalf of the entire team. Dee, I'm sure you and I have both seen nights when all twenty-plus guys on the team forecheck aggressively, defend with gusto and lay massive hits on everything in sight. Last night was not one of those nights. Gillies or no Gillies, you cannot expect to win a game against Pittsburgh without being feisty. The boys were rag dolls last night. <br />There's also the controversial idea that Pitt got away with some stuff last night- like the Talbot hit on Comeau. Headshot or no headshot, the guy led with the elbow. Last time I checked, that was a penalty, but I guess the officials saw otherwise- and I guess Comeau had to be injured on the same level as Marc Savard or even Sidney Crosby for anything to be called. It's ridiculous already.Angelica Rodriguezhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15991986908597881973noreply@blogger.com
