I wonder if Park is being marketed to other teams. Was interesting that Howie made special mention of his faceoff and play prior to Okie goal also 1st line play. Advertising? HM

#8 Chicago is not trading Patrick Sharp. Not this season, when they have a shot at the cup. The Hawks are poised for a cup either this season or next season. Sharp is very valuable to there team. I just dont see them giving him up for an unproven young player in Bailey who should be good and biron who is a streaky goalie without contract next season. The islanders would have to give up more or some picks. It wont happen, not for sharp. I say do it for Ladd.

Last nights game was ugly, plain and simple. After 20 stellar minutes, they thought Carolina would simply lay down. The Isles got lazy and sloppy and let the Canes back in it. I’m sure that although Marty Biron played an excellent game, he would like that game tying goal back. Never expected to see such a good game from Okposo considering his illness. That overtime goal was as good a goal as you’ll see anywhere this year.

Guy’s that wasn’t pretty last night but two point’s is just that 2 point’s, and on the road even better. After tonight the Islander’s will be at the 1/4 point of the season(20)game’s. And with a win(hopefully) they’ll be 8-6-6 for 22 PTS. Who on Oct,3 the home opener would of thought that they would be where they are I didn’t. I thought they would be compitive. Overall there play has been okay, as we all know to many lead’s blown and to many defensive break down’s. And I’m talking all player’s on the ice they all have a job to do in the DEF zone, if someone’s wide op[en in front of that net then someone missed there assignment. Theree’s an old saying there’s five mistake’s before the puck get’s to the goalie. The only knock that I may of Moulson is he may hold on the to the puck to long and doesn’t also seem to look to pass, otherwise he wasn’t even suppose to make the team and look at his numbewr’s not to bad. I think JT is coming along just fine, does he need work, yes every 19 old in the NHL need’s work. He’s starting to show flash’s of what he can do and with time and hard work that will come. Look at Steven Stamkos last year’s # 1 pick the type of season he’s having already. Let’s not start talking trading Biron when it’s not going to happen to at the earliest late Feb or at the deadline. Overall were a better team then last year are we making the playoff’s, well only time will answer that one, as long as there compitive night in and night out that’s all that we can ask for.
LETS GO ISLANDERS!!!!!

After tonight about 1/4 of the season is complete, and no matter how much we like to complain, no matter what grudge we might hold against GS, CW and the team, no matter what we all THOUGHT should have been done in the off season, it is absolutely clear we are heading in the right direction. Our stars are developing, young guys needing time to develop are (and are getting better even if not as fast as we want), our BO kids are playing and developing, despite the premature negative evaluation (just look at the usual ETA for draft picks to reach the NHL), we have a solid prospect core in college, juniors, and Europe, and have cap space when the time is right. I think if we take a step back there is more to look forward to than we’ve had in a very long time!

the isles didnt play a great game. they had the ‘canes down, and let them back into the game, via a soft goal. and they still won. pretty no. fun to watch, yep. and they won. they won a road game that for the past two or three seasons they woud have folded and lost. instead of getting tight and spitting the bit, the hunkered down, nearly won at the end of regulation time, and got two points in OT.
a win tonite is 5/6 points over 3 road games in 4 nites. thats good work for any NHL team. the isles need to learn to hold leads, people need to learn to enjoy victories.

Did you hear the Stat - First time since before their 1st Cup that they scored 3 Goals in the first period for 3 games in a row. WOW. Just can’t overlook the path those breadcrumbs are leading to.
