  1. I’ll be honest I really missed Butch on the call. It doesn’t feel like you’re watching an Isles game without him.

  2. Drouin was horrible. He played like a hack much of the game. That cross check to the face came out of nowhere and was %100 intentional. He should be suspended.

    Mayfield played like a rookie. Get Schaefer away from him. Put him with a D-man who will make him better, like Pelech.

    Roy's player management for the last 4 minutes was mystifying. That bunch was exhausted, and it showed when they started fumbling pucks. Roy stuck with them. SMH

    Then he pulls the goalie and sends out…….Lee. I like Lee, but we needed a shooter / playmaker in that situation.

    Watching Barzal, with skating room, passing up shooting opportunities and dumping off to Mayfield and Tony was stupefying.

    Holmstrom once again showed he is a top line forward on this team. Heineman, who played well, should be with Pageau for now.

    Both goalies made and handful of A+ saves. If not for that, this would have been a 9 – 7 Pens win.

    If the Isles are playing like this come December, Roy will be on the clock, IMO

  3. The good news is they were able to easily enter the zone on the PP. The bad news is they still can't protect the crease on the PK

  4. Every time i see MS play, im more impressed. At first i was withholding my enthusiasm for the kid, but now i feel like it’s impossible to be OVERenthusiastic about him! He’s surpassed my hopes and expectations for his performance in literally every possible way. The sky is the limit for this kid. We truly were blessed with a gem.
