@stefen_rosner I think they need to continue to get younger and more skilled. I pray that they don't continue to trade for, or double-down on old, gritty dudes.
Do you think this is the direction they will go in the off-season? #isles
@PizzaSportsGuy They're done. In off-season they desperately need to get younger and more skilled. Not older and grittier. I will lose my mind if they try to trade their first for another vet #isles
@DynoDangle Please, please, please get younger and more skilled. Should have got more assets at trade deadline, still not too late to make amends but please take the lesson #isles
@rohan_connolly I can cop bad on-field performance, no worries. But EFC seems like a horrible organisation, preying on vulnerable in the community for cash and never taking responsibility for anything. Culture internally seems selfish, arrogant, entitled. Think I'm out.
@COLILIFEsince72@seanyhockey Well said. This is my read as well, although I think him leaving the way he did galvanized the isles culture and identity in some ways. They were gritty, proud and tough in those Trotz years in ways I'm not sure would have been entirely replicated if he'd stayed. Sliding doors.
@TheBlackWallaby@BrumbiesRugby Haha yes, of course. I hope you can make it for a game sometime in the schedule.
I hope you also get some of the pure excitement of rugby back after what must have been an emotional rollercoaster last year. All the best ๐ด
@stefen_rosner@TheHockeyNews Losing is one thing, habitually blowing 3rd period leads is another. Having no excitement or hope in the roster playing fun or positive hockey is the worst of all though.
Please get rid of Lou and invest in the draft or young prospects.
Make the #isles fun to watch again.
As a devoted fan of both @PEPChasDrDave and the @NYIslanders , I'm a bit surprised but nonetheless thrilled that Chas and Dave are on the #Brocktober bandwagon. What are your thoughts on the Duclair signing Dave? #isles
@sdpnsports@Steve_Dangle@SIASport It's sad to see this predatory gambling industry validate itself by hitching itself to someone/something as genuine as Steve's passion for the leafs. I get you gotta make money but it's just so bleak and desperately, desperately sad. Not even angry, it's just sad for sports.
