Islesin, actually it isnt like pulling teeth

look at the contracts

DP for however many years; he stays
Roloson was brought in for 2 years
Biron was brought in for 1 year

Think about it, Biron is 8 years younger and only has a 1 year deal; to me it is pretty clear who would get dealt if DP ends up staying healthy.

CB- I think it may be time a post about the idea of having “3 bonafide number one” goalies on this team in the words of Garth Snow.
With Ricky on the cusp of a return, and Marty and Rolo starting to look comfortable, its going to be like pulling teeth to make a cut on either. This is going to be a signature double-guessing by everyone in the hockey world if Snow is wrong. It’s a juicy story, very rare and very very interesting.

A search of Pat La Fontaine on the ING marathon site, showed he finished in a very respectable 4:27:08. Congrats Pat and glad to have been part of a huge day for CIC.

I say throw Schremp in the lineup tonight against his former team (plus I want to see what he does with some quality minutes). Maybe it’ll light a fire under his butt. And there is no reason this team should lose at home to Edmonton tonight. If they do all the good feelings will be sucked out of me in one shot.

Funny how 90% on this board have been killing Gordon’s system, Tambellini, Baily and Thomson. Thomson has been GREAT! Tamby is a goal scorer, opposing teams better take notice. I have stated this before, the progression of Tambellini will put the rebuild in high gear. Enough negativity and let’s see what this team can accomplish in the next 10 games.

LI doesn’t deserve an NHL team with this poor attendance. Plain and simple. The politicians certainly don’t deserve it and the fairweather fans don’t either. NYI marketing is terrible as they market ONLY to LI fans.

Can some of this bad attendance be because of no radio coverage and backlash from the low payroll etc.?

Did Saturday set a record for lowest attendance when there wasn’t a storm? LI is done, time to go to QUEENS and get access to more fans.

James 132 I agree with you but don’t be fooled. That land will be developed with or without the Islanders. The arena is just toppings. If the Islanders moved years ago something like the LHP would still be proposed.

Let’s not forget that as much as many of us would like to go to games we don’t always have time. I usually go to about 20 games a year, but this year I find myself working many nights when games are scheduled. I’d love to go to every game I could, but I’m sure there are many others like myself that can’t always find the time to go.

LOL NO Way shcremp gets a 4th rounder back in a trade. Guerin barelly hadn anyone offer a 4th rounder. Guerin was a guaranteed 20 goal scorere minimum. Schremp? This guy is the equivilant of a mop of man in the bullpen with a era of 9.00. Nobody wants this guy. He cant even score at the ahl. At least Tambellini was scoring in the AHL
