3rd period meltdown

External Since: Nov 28, 2008 Posts: 5

I didn't expect the Isles to win this game, but once again, they completely
fall apart in the 3rd. This team is lousy. Why not give Danis some ice
time? Unless Danis is injured, why would they put in a goalie with barely 10
games AHL experience in net? The coach (what's his name, Gordon?) should be
fired.

Jaffe and Rose talked about that last night. They felt that the
players had quit for the game and just left Danis out there to be
used as target practice.

Last night's game was better, and I'm trying to remember the last
time the Islanders beat Ottawa three times in a single season...

For all you Hilbert haters (me included), what's different with
Gordon coaching him vs what was done with Ted Nolan? All of a
sudden Hilbert is scoring goals (third on the team), and Trent
Hunter has 10 already (after having just 12 last season)?

After a 2-6-1 October, team pulls a 8-6-1 November, could there
be better months ahead?
