The Isles are really taking this whole March comes in like a lion and goes out like a lamb saying after yet another pathetic showing against the surging Flyers last night. The loss is the teams 4th in a row and 6th in the last 7 games. This streak comes after a 4 game winning streak to start the month.
The easy place to turn for answers is the goalie as this futility coincides with the news that Jaro Halak is basically done for the season. And yea, Thomas Greiss hasn't been a stud, but what back up plan ever is? You always go out looking for a dime but if she's not available you got to take what you can get, and Greiss is only about a 5 or 6. The Islanders do have a dime though and he's been invisible.
JT has been brutal. He's had the worst season of his career and seems to be regressing in the years where he's supposed to be at his best. The Islanders have been strong in one aspect of their game this season and it's killing penalties--aka when the Captain isn't on the ice. The power-play has been as successful as your boy at a Cortland bar party lately and that is not a good percentage.
Even though Tavares has no line mates of any relevance because let's be honest, all of the young studs are borderline busts. Strome, Lee, and Nelson have been bad. Obviously Bailey sucks. And let's not get me started on this Shane Prince jabroni.
Time for Cappy to get wild and line up JT with KO and Kulemin. Get some size and physicality with the Captain and let them go to work. I believe in you Cappy. Time to prove it to the haters. LET'S GO!
