At least with Queens the Islanders can sort of keep their "suburban" identity, and Long Island fans could easily get to Willets Point. BK would be a different story. Darn, I live in Eastern Queens and don't think I'd even want to trek to BK. I think BK would be a mistake.

YUK! Shoot Isles are playing Tor and Philly again, great we can watch Jackman and Thompson (rightfully) turning down fights against tougher oppents. Team is playing well. I question the choice to not play Biron more. Isn't it about building up his trade value? No idea why the team doesn't play harder for him but maybe it is because they know he's going to be moved? Great to see DiPietro coming back. I think it is easy to see from interviews that the Park family did a great job in raising Richard. CB, seriously why don't NHL teams do a Mom's trip? Do they feel the Mom's would be more of a distraction? Boy I hope Brooklyn isn’t the first option, I’d hate for Charles Wang to have to kiss ugly ass Bertha Lewis (ACORN) to get it done. YUK!

It's amazing how often you see this... particularly when discussing, for example, Tavares' success thus far. "Already 22 points in his rookie season playing for a bad team...", stuff like that. I don't think the rest of league views the Islanders that way anymore. For those of you who are not from LI and had to catch the Atlanta feed on Centre Ice last night, could you believe the love-fest those announcers had for the Isles, particularly in the third period? They wouldn't stop talking about how impressive they found the Islanders, how the result of the game had less to do with Atlanta's failure to execute and more with the Islanders simply playing a great brand of hockey, etc. I think we're so used to having been doormats for so long that we don't seem to be aware of how good things are starting to look. People elsewhere are certainly noticing. For whatever it’s worth, I get tired of Islander fans publicly referring to the Islanders as a “bad” team.

No playoff run, no franchise defining moments. Just hard work and effort from a 1st class guy. Roloson's been a revelation. I never thought he'd play this well at 40 going to a bad team basically only because they gave him extra money in a second year. It's a tribute to his competitiveness that he bought right in and said I'm going to make a difference. Biron? He's played just well enough to lose by one on some nights. Hope he gets real hot so he increases the chances he can go to a Cup competitor this year (for decent value).

AGAIN, make no mistake about it - a successful career from JT on LI, and he'll be pointed at as the guy who "saved the Islanders franchise"...
