So many emotions going through my brain…
Disgust…
Wonder….
Disappointment….
Rage….
Spotting a trend?
No wins on home ice since 2007. I am glad I was working and missed the game entirely. I got home and saw some of it - but for only a few times in my life, I turned away from the game… The movie CANNONBALL was on… No - not the Burt Reynolds movie, but the David Carradine one (the original - from 1976).
Flat is not an excuse anymore… The flu is not an excuse anymore… Injuries are not an excuse… I think the word passion comes to mind…
Where is it?
I know the guys are not going through the motions - I get that… But it is that something extra that I do not see. Three guys attacking one player - leaving others alone with options galore.
Too much ‘along the wall’ movement with nothing coming between the faceoff circles. I am not going to name names (we all can), but the same alignments and positioning that players made in the first 10-20 games of the season are all a forgotten, distant memory.
They need to play desperate hockey now. I thought that we would be saying this a few later, but it needs to be said.
Ricky has been standing on his head. They are leaving him to dry. Both the D and the Forwards are at fault. Accountability needs to be out in the open.
Maybe the road can be a panacea for what ails them. Just ask the Giants about playing on the road???
If this team has any ideas for mid April matches, the time is NOW to correct the problems!
And what will I do. Continue to come (when I can get off from work - that is…), and support the team. That is what I do. I may get mad - but I will not walk away… Hopefully you Islanders fans will do the same thing.

Just watching the Habs/Ranger$ game, and my good friend Mr. Avery is responsible for all 3 goals that the Canadiens have scored….
It is wonderful… Can’t happen to a more idiot of a guy!
Then - the other prime idiot Hollweg takes that missed hit by Kovalev and nails (Kostityn - spelling) from behind. He is a complete moron - and someday - he is going to really get his, and I wont be sorry by ANY STRETCH. If he don’t get at least 5 games, I will be real upset!
Jerk!

Not going to talk much about this. I was not at home watching (I was at work), but I could hear the frustration in the voices of Steve and Chris, calling the match.
Tuesday has to be better. I am not going to the game, so to my bad luck, they will probably win….
Anyway - Super Bowl prediction - Giants 27 - Pats 24. I really think they can do it. Also - a Habs site saw my french in my last post. Appreciate the support…
But on the Super Bowl - I really believe that they can make the Pats 18-1. I sure hope so.

Avec les luttes récentes des Insulaires, la clef principale à la victoire sera leur capacité à garder les patins à glace constamment dans le mouvement.
Dans leur dernière allumette contre Los Angeles, les Islanders flottés autour d’aiment que 20 éléphants cherchent des feuilles pour manger.
Cette « grippe » est quelque chose que les Islanders ne peuvent plus garde environ.
Good luck on the translation…
BTW - Giants 27 - NE 24 - Tynes becomes a hero again…..
