Guess the #isles got too comfortable actually being a stable franchise the last few years…had to find a way to look ridiculous again….it had been too long

It’s one December game...but what’s great about this one is the #isles know they were playing on the big HNIC stage in Canada tonight, with a lot of Canadian media that has ridiculed them especially hard in the past 6 months all watching...and they stuck it up their ass

I’ve said forever I don’t care about trading 1st round picks, especially ones that will be between 20-30 if it helps you win now...Pageau fills a major hole and will allow #isles to be a 4 line team again when 53 is healthy...and he has performed in playoffs...it’s a great move

That was a playoff intensity type game... #isles played the style we've seen them play most of the year, mixed in with rock solid goaltending...I think the new lines at the top worked great...and the morale, at an all time low after Saturday, should build back up a bit...huge win

That’s a tremendous week of hockey right there for the #isles ...6 out of 8 points on the west road trip...have to be proud of these guys

#isles now with points in 7 straight games…3 shutouts on the season for the White Whale….they have 4 games left in this 13 game odyssey on the road to start the year and have a chance to come out of it in better shape than any of us could have imagined…very impressive start
