Since I’m usually down on this team,I should be fare when they look good.I thought Niellson looked great very solid game from Bailey and KO.I also thought Skinner played real well.Joey Mac is 6-6 looks very good.If these guys play like this forget about a top 5 pick.

O-town :

Finally someone who gets it!

The daily rants of “we need to finish last” and about who “sucks” are foolish and childish.

It is indeed an insult to the current roster of professionals and hardworking men to think they are waiting to be saved by an 18 year old that may or may not be Tavares, Hedmen (sp) or any other.

There is youth waiting in Bridgeport and in other leagues that the Islanders have already drafted and/or signed that NEED to be developed and brought through the system, and possible UFA’s that may be signed, plus any trades that may occur between now and next year that will have this team much further along than a last place finish this year or next year.

On the draft sweepstakes, a bit of logic: if we do so well as to avoid the basement, that means that the kids we have now developed this year. Tamby included. Neilsen, Bergy, Bailey and Okposo will have been top six forwards for most of the season- in other words, we won’t need the number one (whomever that is, we might end up picking third through sixth and still get Tavares!) selection because the players we have will have developed enough! Do you really believe the Isles management is waiting for Tavares to save the day? That’s an insult to the players currently on the roster- and to anyone with half a brain. The real youth movement starts next year when Joensuu and Figren get looks…

I thought it was another good game, the guys played well, although the 3rd period was a little so-so but nonetheless a win! Once again I have to say Joey Mac, another fine job! Go Islanders~
Have a wonderful Day Everyone!

They are actually 2-1… Josh has played three games (Flyers, Sens, Sens). But its still good!

The team has many issues but you have to enjoy a sweep of a home and home vs Ottawa.

At least they now first score a goal in the third before going to sleep.

On offense it seems they are crashing the net more than previous years and it is paying off.

They are 2-0 since Bailey’s return.

You might be right Dallas but why not enjoy the two wins while we can. In case we don’t see too many more.
They really do seem to be playing better. I finally got to see Bailey and I am impressed. He seems very patient, keeps his head up and feels his teammates, and wow with some of his passes! Whether he stays or goes he looks like he belongs in the NHL.
And Franzzzz!! Love his hustle and fearlessness, he is definately a favorite of mine. Bergy too, and it’s nice to see some speed on our team.
Who knows what the season will bring but I am loving watching these games for the excitement factor and I sort of have that “I know a secret” feeling again, GO ISLES!!!!

These are my positives about the team. We do have more skill than before in that we now have 4 players who can actually pass the puck to someone on their own team; Weight, Streit, Neilson and Bailey. Before that the team would cycle endlessly (on a good day) and you would just hope that the puck would hit someone in the a$$ and wind up in the net. Also, we have more players who are not afraid to stand in front of the net; Hunter, Sim, bergie, maybe Thompson. I would still really like a top 2 draft pick but this is not a given (we need more high end picks). The team has been better and more exciting to watch than I expected. At this point, I want to see the kids improve, build confidence by winning and hopefully the other bottom feeder teams play really well.
