I bet Morrow was outlining the trap system to Gorton who only knows hockey one way and one way only. Rick is back, protected and his stats are helped, we don't score, Rick learns and forgets to let the defense handle pucks (he was AWFUL when he played this year at stealing fom his teammates!) and we draft third or fourth. Sounds like a plan! I want Hedman, thus I want Overspent System 100%. Do ya think the OVERSPENT system will be ditched and we start trapping once His Royal Richard is back in net prematurely again?

Glad to see Ken Morrow's back and I hope he can help them make some sense out of that gray area known to our team as the defensive zone, yikes. Great third period last night, eh? Practically erases the last three nightmares..I mean games..from the memory to see that spark again, however fleeting it may turn out to be. Glad everything worked out well for Cole, CB.

How about a neurological adjustment to Rick DiPietro so the bastid can wait till he really is 100%? Accelerate, yes. get back soon Ricky, there won't be anything to worry about because you'll be in tip top shape. This longtime Islander fan is dreading, yes dreading the next time he comes out of the net when we're down 2-3 goals and plays the puck only to head fake and wait to make a pass while our defense and forwards try to figure out his next move. Just get healthy Ricky, that's all we care about. Only RUSH should be on our ipods. Great band. ARP trainer eh?

Solid coaching throughout the organization is paramount in this sport, and that starts with the big club. Do ex-goalies ever make for good coaches? I’m not saying Gordon is the guy to turn this ship around, but lets at the very least give him a chance. I mean he has gone the entire season without the best (and most important) player on the team.

I could have said, "you can draft Bertuzzi, Lindros (cough), Redden/Berard, Dumont, Luongo, Rupp, Connolly, and DP(?)/Torres) and 10 years later be 18 games under .500 before January 1st. there are no guarentees in hockey. It is more likely, though, that a team that wins today, and upgrades through well scouted draft picks, timely free agents and good coaching throughout the system will WIN. And you don't have to go very far for a pretty good example. Poor attendance... no problem. Need a new building... no problem. All star goalie on the mend... no problem. Rebuilding...? No Ovechkin...? No Crosby? Boring as hell.. they were! Do they WIN! YES!

Last night's third period gives me some hope that maybe with the right personnel this thing could work. How long does the assessment last? What are the milestones? I hope the goals aren't just, suck, suck, suck, cup. What are the arguments against rebuilding with youth and a conventional sytem of solid "D", and three periods of enthusiastic hockey? Both Pitt(Olcyk) and Washington(Hanlon) had barely serviceable coaches while they were "rebuilding". Is this the "MODEL" that Snow is following. Because then I can stand and applaud. Because he's found a Cold Beverage Machine of a coach. CBM: The thing that just sits there and makes money while your operation grows around it. When everybody from the President to the lowest shipping clerk has kicked the hell out of it becasue it doesn't work for ****... you replace it with a really cool one that offers snacks, beverages and if you're willing to spend some money...ICE CREAM. I hope we can get an ICE CREAM machine coach next year... I refuse to talk about "draft picks" until May... but has anybody thought what happens if Hedman and taveres get busted for sticking up a McDonald's? Why are we pinning our hopes on two guys who have never played an NHL game. The draft is the draft, but without the right coaching and building of a WINNING DYNAMIC you can draft Phillips, Hossa, Chuinard, Havlat, Volchenkov and Spezza... and still not win a Stanley cup. You can, really... look it up! I still vote for a "D" where Witt and Sutton barely ever see the offensive zone, and when they do they has a collar on that zaps them if they get below a faceoff dot. CB,
