Boy it's early for hockey. Unless you're one of our European readers, in which case it's juuuust right.

Jack Capuano quote via Arthur Staple from this a.m., on the recently constructed but not exactly productive line of Frans Nielsen centering the 20-something enigmas Josh Bailey and Kyle Okposo:

"We'll give them some time. But we don't have a lot of time. They need to get to the gritty areas more."

Own it, young fellas.

Islanders (6-7-1, 10th/E) vs. Flyers (6-9-1, 11th/E)
