I think the Islanders prefer an atmosphere where everyone just sits in their seats. I find it scary when i can here the players on the ice? They got rid of the goal song 4 fans 2 stand and cheer they got rid of fighting 4 fans 2 stand and cheer. So in all if we dont score 4-6 goals a gmae at home we leave the fans in their seats 4 50-55 min a game, way, way to long 4 me.

Someone please tell me why the Isles and their PC police had SUCH a problem with OUR goal song (i don’t CARE that some idiots chant you suck, i ignore them; that shouldn’t mean you censor a song)one that we’ve been playing FOR SO MANY YEARS. One that the Devils have no problem with it playing in their palace in Newark.

I’ve been going to games since 1988 and we never had a problem with OUR goal song. They tried to take it away once before and put in Blurs’ Song 2 and Zombie Nation as well. Neither WORKED. Just as this song by Nickelback doesn’t work. Do you know WHY they didn’t work? Because we LIKE to yell in unison “HEY” to THAT song after we score a goal. It IS a HOCKEY GOAL SONG. Always has been, always WILL BE. The FREAKIN’ DEVILS get it, but Chris Dey and the ones in charge of “entertainment” at our building apparently can’t grasp this.

Pathetic.

Depth at defense or lack of same may be the story of the rest of the season.

Minus – What exactly has Don Waddell done with Atlanta to retain his position of GM?

Keenan crippled FL, Milbury crippled NYI, Barnett crippled PHO, Ferguson crippled TOR, how in the world does Waddell with one playoff appearance during his tenure still the GM of this team?

These other teams have moved on, but ATL?

Minus – Martinek on the IR for the season. Like NYI actually had depth to begin with, let alone the injury history of this player.

Plus – JT’s promising performance that indicates a well-rounded player, not just a scorer.

I doubt the isles resign sutton. They will be at cap minimum next year also most likely and that forces teams to lose there own free agents…ask pirate and expo and marlin fans. We already saw it was Jason Blake …poti…kozliv…isles won’t pay going market rate on players who have other teams bidding. Sure they will lock Tavares up to keep fans happy like the mets keep wright around…but everyone else better sign at discount if they want to stay islanders

74 – Although I do like Biron a lot, and I think the Isles tandem right now is very good, we still need to trade Biron when DiPietro is healthy. If we catch a few teams in a bidding war, we could be looking at a nice return, and something that will help to expedite the rebuild process. If we continue to play well, and we somehow get a first round for Biron, we could package our first and the first we acquire to move into the top end of the draft this year and acquire another great player. Biron’s nice, but nice won’t win us games or cups.

Finally, Nielsen is getting the recognition he deserves. He is a phenomenal hockey player, and he can easily be a solid second line center in this league. Better than that, is he will be behind Tavares and Bailey, and he will lead an extremely formidable third line. He is great on both sides of the puck, he is very quick, he’s got great hands, and he is a good passer. It will be great to watch him continue maturing as an Islander. He has the ability to put up 60+ points if given the opportunity.

To number 68 – I think we should keep Biron and extend his contract. Roloson is going to retire an Islander and there is no definitive date when DiPietro will come back in top form. This will also give Koskinen a chance to develop in the AHL acouple of more years…

Someone said it earlier but I also see Okposo as the best player every night. Hope he starts putting some home because he works his tail off and has so much skill.

Speaking of skill…Andy Sutton. Looks so natural as of late as if he’s always had these talents but needs to be healthy enough over a stretch of time to show it.
Love Jack Hillen…hope he keeps it up.
Who’s our 7th D man now?

When we lost the last 2 people started back with the scratch
Nate Thompson stuff. I still notice his important play.
Sim and Jackman….I’m not sure. The agitation and hustle isn’t necessarily off setting their lack of production.

More Roloson!

I do agree though, the announcement by the PA guy when a penalty occurs is ridiculous. It needs to stop and stop now.
