Ms. Bannedagain? Bailey was projected as a second liner. Bergenheim hopefully improves enough to serve as a second liner but really, he’s suited to be a scoring pest if he works hard on his pucksmanship. Okposo…..first liner if we don’t ruin him. The rest? Until we see Figren and Petrov. Aside from that miss bannedalaot, second liners if we’re lucky. Third and fourth more likely.

We draft poorly. We leave the impact players for the guys behind us if we don’t trade the picks for whatever logic backup goalies use in drafting.

Nice try, though. The organization you say NEVER does wrong does wrong all too often. How’s Mueller, Parise, Filatov and the other shoulda beens in a few ears? I guarantee solid. How are ours? Fingers crossed because that’s the most you can do to assure drafting success and proper development in this sham organization that was once great.

Now go give thumbs up to everything Wang, Snow and others do. Maybe we can let another player with a broken neck skate off?

And go irritate someone else who cares. I wanna see you get banned again sunshine.

We don’t want DP here in Bridgeport! Keep your old broken-down, over-paid, egotistical has-beens in Hempstead! We have a decent team here, all he will do is foul things up up here too.
There are SO many other people that deserve the roster space more than he does.

Yeah sometimes I think we’re conditioned to be satisfied with perpetual second liners and mediocre players. But sometimes you gotta lose BIG before you can put together a winner. There should be no surprises right now. We all know this is gonna be a long season. Building the right way, the way they did it in the Dynasty years, takes time. All the b****ing in the world won’t make it happen faster.

Everyone the Islanders drafted is already second liners and never-wills according to you, but who the heck are YOU? You are some draft expert? Please. You dont know jack about all those kids and I prefer to trust the experts over the likes of you. The experts think that the Isles drafted a lot of great kids, and their opinions mean more to me than the repeated remarks of the standard whinyfan. Why cant your little group maybe give the drama a bit of a rest?

OMG….so the organization has been run very well and we’re imagining this. Satan wasn’t tradeable so we lost him out of pure genius. We have an AARP line and a romper room line for our b-level prospects. Our prospects are great. Yeah….ok.

I don’t want Snow to “listen to the fans.”

I want to see a winning team, a good coach, rational deals and deals when they are needed and lastly, a sign that a good coach or backup won’t be torn to shreds by someone who is far beneath them quality wise, a nobody retired backup goalie who was made GM by an idiot billionaire who is only after a land grab.

This year’s draft just showed we are happy with possible second liners and never wills and won’t ever get a dynamic first line star foreward or anchor to our defensive corps with the genius we have.

Why do fan’s think that it is Garth Snow’s job to listen to them? For better or worse, he was hired to be the GM, and you were not. It is the GM’s job to make decisions based on the opinions of his scouting staff, who are paid to understand hockey, and his experience. Feel free to criticize the GM or the staff, but it is ABSURD to think that you should have a say in the day-to-day management of the team.

Look at this year’s draft. After the experts declared Snow’s draft a success, the fans (grudgingly) got behind Baily, and by now most fans have accepted at least waiting before making a judgment. This because Snow refused to “listen to the fans” and instead trusted his scouts and his judgment.

I want to throw 2 things out here because I cannot find a better place to put them. In terms of a youth movement, why not make a solid push for someone that can really help this team and would already be on this team if it were not for Mr. Milbury: Marian Gaborik. A pure goal scorer, one we have lacked since Mike Bossy retired. 2nd, I am tired of the injury bs and the misinformation. Tell me a guy is hurt, or tell me he is fine. Don’t say lower body injury or bs. Tell the truth.

Hey trots…

Detroit reports that Franzen is out for 3-4 weeks with a sprained left knee, and that Chelios is out 8-10 weeks with a broken tibia.

The Blues are reporting that Legace is out with a pulled hip flexor after tripping on a ceremonial carpet.

trots, you’re 100% wrong. All Teams have the OPTION to report injuries the same way. The Isles are the only Team exercising their right to not report them at ALL.
