BTW, I said REAL goalie prospect. One with enough skill to become an elite nhl goaltender. Do you really think Rick won’t be reinjured even if he sits the year out. Even if he doesn’t hurt his hips, knees, and groin, the idiot has a concussion history to boot.

I know I will get yelled at for saying this, but: Is it possible that Rick D’s knee doctor is a ranger fan? How is it possible that we have such bad luck with a simple meniscus surgery? This is not a major knee surgery. WHen I saw that the rangers have only 10 games lost to injury, and we have like hundreds, it hit me. WHo is this lousy knee doctor that D used? WHy isn’t he suing this bastrd

Sign dubie for next season, but don’t let him play this year. He could very well cost us the #1 pick if he plays.

I don’t want Dubie back here.
Roberto Luongo is coming back in Vancouver and one of Labarbera or Sanford will be available. Most likely via waivers. They are playing Labarbera and it looks like Sanford could be there for the taking.

Look, you cant say the Islanders tried to sign Dubie, becuase that 2 way deal was made for a reason. It was to let him walk because they new he would not except it.
Obivously we needed him and need him now.
So It was a mistake on Snows part and poor planning for not signing him because nobody knew how mcdonald would turn out.

Yeah, it’s Snow/Gordon’s fault that another goalie gets hurt. It’s like some of you aren’t happy unless you’re pissing and moaning about something – like the really earth-shattering trade of two minor-league players. Let’s get worked up about that a little more.

I think the Islanders made a mistake not signing another goalie this offseason. I know they tried to sign Dubie but the 2 way contract offer was a slap in the face probably. Macdonald has played far too many games and I’m sure that couldn’t have helped his injury situation. This should have been done when Dubie came back from Russia. The Isles owe a lot to MacDonald for being an ironman with no help in front of him, let’s hope now they do something right.

Danis looks shell shocked out there everytime he plays – doesn’t look like an NHL goalie….CB – is there anyway they sign the Goalie prospect they have in Sweden – Ridderwall and bring him over to play the Rest of the year?

“Garth………YOU SUCK! You better draft a real frickin goalie prospect with your extra picks this year.”

As Nick Classic pointed out (love the name, BTW!) the Isles drafted Kevin Poulin was last year. He had a real buzz the year before he was drafted, but struggled in his draft year and slipped in the draft significantly. He is a big kid with a lot of potential.
