Why do people think that because you are rebuilding there is a set timetable for success? If you build it right why cant it be done in a year or 2 years, nothing says rebuilding has to take 4-5 years? Thats just a lame excuse, what happens in 4-5 years a the team still stinks? Would we still be rebuilding? We dont even know if the current crop of players we are rebuilding with are going to be any good and you have to factor in every other team doing the same thing. You also have to factor in whether the guys we are rebuilding around want to stay here long term, many factors and alot of excuses. I’m not in the excuses business i want results, and i want results now!!!

Dave, Tavares is 19!! He’s never played an NHL game before. Learn to expect some growing pains and your stress level will go down. The kid will show flashes, dont worry. Patience people, please.

The Isles arent ready for the NHL? WOW…consider me shocked. I hope most posters here get their expectations back to reality. We…Are…Rebuilding. It takes time. But, again, I forgot NY isn’t high on patience. I feel bad for the Isles, these kids dont stand a chance with you guys.

We are going to get crushed in the East, did the Isles get the memo Burke is back in the east? How they even consider not already handing Rechlitz a job is mind boggling? Jackman doesn’t scare the 11 year olds at iceworks how does he expect to intimidate men? Hopefully the 3-4 goals he scores are worth what he doesn’t provide.

Rechlitz must stay! Whatever happened to hockey players being the toughest athletes in the world, did the Isles get that memo? Besides the Wrecker this is got to be the weakest set of players ever assembled.

west coast isles fan (44): I think it is a combination of both a & b… then you combine that with theat paranoid “OMG something is gonna go wrong” feeling that we ALL struggle with as as Isles fans, and there you go!

Rechlicz can’t get into 3 fights every game … he needs some support.

CB - do you have any inside connections to see if we can get an answer from the top as to their logic for not beefing up this team (both in an enforcer capacity as well as the rest of the team)? This can’t be 100% about money … enforcers are generally the cheapest assets to sign.

Tamby has had a good pre-season. I hope it can carry on into the regular season

Just got home from the game.. TAVARES IS NOT READY FOR THE NHL! In all honesty, I don’t think the ISLES are either.. no doubt this is a last place team.. With the 2010 first round draft pick, The Islanders select …..

You-know-who always scores and brings me back to that day I was so excited he fell in our laps, only to watch them pick Nill-son. Salt in the wound again!
