WE’RE NOT DEAD YET!

I am sure that there are many of us that may not necessarily want this team to reach the playoffs this year. We know all of the inconsistencies that the Isles have had in the past couple of months. Just when you think that the team is going to ‘turn the corner’ – the harsh reality is that this team, the way it is constructed, is just not a Top 4 contender in the league.

Reconstruction of this team – with the removal of some parts, and the inclusion of some young guns, would be great for 24-25. In the opinion of this writer, this team does not need to re-build – just a retool would be nice, thank you very much.

Last night – once again – we Isles fans saw the heartbreak of losing the lead with just a mere 10 seconds to go – thanks to Morgan Frost of the Flyers. To give the Flyers that loser point was just horrible for the playoff chances. Fortunately for us – the one time the Isles touched the puck – two seconds later – game over! Nelson’s 30th was a nice way to end it.

This team is not dead. Tonight – the Isles will need their “A” game to keep their slim but hopes nevertheless alive. What do you think? You can check out my Isles Talk Podcast on YouTube tomorrow night at 8:00 PM.
