Same lineup we had vs Sens...

Capuano is a moron. Why is our 2 best defensive dmen on the same pairing? Keith Aucoin is no 2nd line player. He is ruining chemistry, and is a dumbass, please fire him.

[KingsnQueens7]

I just dont understand... We had a good start this season and then he just changes it all... Grabner is a 2nd line player... Aucoin is a 3rd/4th line player. Why is Ullstrom scratched? He provides offense to his game. I know Lubo is still new to the team, but he doesn't belong on the 3rd pairing. Finley should be scratched. I hate to admit it, but Kmo is right, coaching has to go and that starts with Cap. I don't understand this lineup, I don't understand why Mcdonald is still up... It's just tiring and really annoying watching this team tank after such a promising start.

[KingsnQueens7]

And you Mr. Streit. You need to up your game too, but I see him, and Lubo likely traded. That is why we traded for Thomas, Streit and Lubo will be gone and it's bs because they are good pieces going foward (not Streit right now but dif Lubo)

Are you freakin kidding me??????????????

[KingsnQueens7]

Another game were they give up a goal int he 1st 5 minutes, they suck.

Capuano must take the blame. This is a coaching problem.

[StoicSentry]

Howie Rose has been jinxing us a lot lately.

[KingsnQueens7]

Man Capuano better be fired

[KingsnQueens7]

Agreed. He needs to be fired.

No words are adequate...

I hate how there's never any accountability within this organization.

Post-game against the Flyers was probably the first time Caps has declared it unacceptable or showed any good emotion, IMO.

Most of the time when they lose, like 5-3, 4-1, etc., Capuano has this "woe is me" attitude and talks about "bad luck" or "tough breaks" or "bad bounces, didn't go our way," etc. When "bad luck" is consistent, it ceases to be "luck" and becomes about talent, dedication and execution.

Agreed. Even with the opportunties, (look at the other night vs Anderson) We still can't put the puck in the net. It's a combination of coaching and players, but it's mostly coaching, this team is going to go no where if Capuano remains head coach on this team.

[KingsnQueens7]

Also Stoic, it's the owner. Even though we are Knick fans, I hope the owner of the Nets buys the Islanders since we are moving to Barclays anyway. He's a rich russian dude, and russians like hockey. He will be committed to winning, what do you think?

[StoicSentry]

I know that there have been other contributors. But there are too many times, watching this team, where it feels like it's just "Taveras, a little Grabner, and some random guys," not like a real TEAM at all.
