I am disappointed to hear what Ray (#36) said about Dibo, but not surprised. I saw quite a few games of Sarnia’s last season. Dibo gets into these funks where he is lazy and selfish. Never helps his team or himself to play like that. I hope Capuano can keep his head in the game more consistently because it’s the only way he’ll make and stay with the big club.

#83 you can add Jesse Joensuu and Justin Dibendetto to that list. Joensuu will be a fine player and Dibendetto was 3rd in scoring in the ohl last season and supposively one of the surprises of last years draft. Hopefully Martin,Petrov,and Trivino can join that group and maybe 1 more player from the 2009 draft. Lets forget about Dipietro. Lets leave him with the Milbury era. If hes healthy, fine, until then lets move on. We have much bigger needs than goaltending anyway. The islanders need 2 new top 4 dmen for next season and no I am not countin de haan because he is very young.

#110 how was signing Yashin to 10 years, 90 million and trading for peca and giving him 20 million rebuilding? 01-07 were not rebuilding years. 95-01 should have been but Milbury trading the “rebuilding” blocks…luongo(drafting dp instead of Heatley) Jokinnen, Bertuzzi, Brewer, Straka, Berard, etc.

I love how some people on this board say, well why try to bring in this player or that player, just to draft 8th instead of 1st next year. It really is absurd. These guys are professional athletes, coaches, GM’s they play to win. Do you not want to see your own team win? I for one DO NOT want to even hear about taylor hall because that simply means another miserable season. If this team cannot improve with this goalie tandem,a healthy D and guys like Okposo,bailey,comeau,bergenheim,neilsen with experience under their belts and to add to that JT, streit, hunter, douggy Weight well then are we really heading in the right direction?

You’re wrong, the team is not in year 2 of the rebuilding. What do you call all the years before 2007?

Those weren’t attempts at winning, they were also rebuilding years.

107, Toronto looks horrible, at least we have some pluses, hope Komisarek has a fun season, after seeing him so far I’m glad we didn’t overpay.

I agree with the statement that this team needs less Eric Magini and much more Rex Ryan.

Anyone watch the Leafs tonight? I feel a lot better about the Isles.

Bergie made a bad choice. If your boss asks you to take on an increased role, you take it. Pretty idiot proof. Even if you are unhappy for some time, it will pay off in the long run.

Last game we were all over Bailey. Now we’re all over Gordon. Jeez…

Post 83 says it best.
