Comments on: Josh Bailey’s Progress Report http://www.islesblogger.com/2008/11/29/josh-baileys-progress-report Wed, 03 Feb 2010 19:24:46 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9 hourly 1 By: Bill Guerin http://www.islesblogger.com/2008/11/29/josh-baileys-progress-report/comment-page-1#comment-1013 Bill Guerin Tue, 02 Dec 2008 19:10:48 +0000 http://www.islesblogger.com/?p=943#comment-1013 <strong>Admin Note: Got confirmation that this was not really Guerin (not that I needed it based on the website and email address used) - but it was a good comment so I decided to approve it. - Mike</strong> First of all let me add that this kid is really progressing. As a teammate, there is no need for confusion and it came up in Josh's first couple games that he belongs in the NHL. Bails moves very swiftly up and down the ice and from a captains perspective, I think he is maturing very nicely and quickly. Josh's attitude as a player on and off the ice is quiet impressive and as time passes, Bails will most likely grow into an all-star calibre player. Josh has a tremendous amount of potential and has great poise. Josh has also got a tremendous amount of leadership skills and can really make the teammates around him better players. I only think highly of this kid and its only a matter of time before he flourishes into a go-to-guy in the NHL. Anyway I would like to thank all the fans for their increased support.

Really shows how Bailey has eased in to become a bigger piece of Gordon's arsenal. I was definitely one who was skeptical over the summer and as the season began -- more from odds and his draft position than from (not) seeing him in the preseason, but I've definitely been won over by his play and Gordon's confidence in him. I think part of his passing prowess is from his just plain seeing the ice better than the average player, and that's sooo nice to have. Hopefully there will be one or two more of his caliber in the pipeline. Nice post, Mike! Really shows how Bailey has eased in to become a bigger piece of Gordon’s arsenal.

At one point he had five more then anyone on the team, not sure where he finished. Even though the power play didn't do as good they still looked ok out there. Bailey is progressing nicely. Speaking of, Tom and I have an interview on iTV next week! Bailey had a ton of shots tonight, not just on the powerplay.

He's benefiting the power play and you can hear in Logan's interview that he wants to stay and continue to becoming more of a scorer. But the question on my mind is how is Gordon going to deal with the repeated 3rd-period collapses? The Islanders are the best 40-minute team in hockey right now. Keep him up here.
