I think that some of you might be surprised at normal AHL attendance. I wonder what all of the AHL teams playoff attendances are so far?

Its a hard stat about which to find reliable data since it is not really an official posted number. It hit me when I was talking to that RW fan. He gave us credit for loving a team that cant make the playoffs. He was being sincere when he said that. I explained that the Isles missed the playoffs in part because they led the league with injuries for the last two seasons- and when they DIDNT lead the entire league with injuries, they made the playoffs in all all but one season since 01-02. The guy was genuinely surprised by that, which I really found interesting. 19 ISLE in NJ 22 (22): Yeah I had a feeling it would be.

We need that on the Isles... That said ... I see the Isles as a bottom 5 next season too ... JT (if drafted) will do well ... he might even get 25 goals ... but that isn't going to vault the Isles out of the bottom 5 ... and if we draft Hedman instead ... he also isn't going to be able to vault the Isles out of the bottom 5 ... so we have to manage our expectations for next season as well ... look how long it is took the Blues & Hawks to get out of the bottom of the pack. LA almost got out ... we may be out after next season .. I hope ... only year 2 of the rebuild.

I don't know what the old record was ... but the Isles past that a while back. *** hathead (10) Butchie has had it for Hedman since the WJC ... I don't understand why ... especially since as Butchie once put it that he had only seen him play on TV at the WJC and hadn't seen anything other than clips ... to me the WJC didn't show anything special about Hedman ... and we all know what JT did at the WJC ... My brother thinks it's because our one time playoff hero and Conn Smythe winner doesn't want anyone else to wear his #91 ... hmmmmmm mayybeeee Chris TMC (20) … to answer your question … 580 man games lost to injury is now the NEW record … I don’t know what the old record was … but the Isles past that a while back.

He was pretty dazed by that hit, and noting was done about it. Other than that (and losing in OT) I had a really good time at this game tonight. Every intermission we kept meeting up with this RedWings fan and his Rangers fan friend (neither of whom were the slightest bit obnoxious!) IT was beautiful outside and it was a lot of fun talking to them both. The RW fan is a DiPi fan and was wishing him well for next season. When I mentioned how a lot of Isles fans give him **** he laughed and said the RWs would be happy to take him off our hands. One thing Ill say- he had no idea that the Isles were injured a lot this season and he seemed pretty blown away when I told him about the ~580 mangames lost to injury and 20 guys who have played for both Bridgeport and the NYI this season. I think that other than our own fans few people realized how insanely injured this team has been. Hey CB- is there any way to know the record of mangames lost to injury in a season? I dont know of any team in recent history who has dealt with the amount of injuries the Isles have dealt with! I hope Iggy is OK. He was pretty dazed by that hit, and noting was done about it.
