Just a couple of things as I have been real busy at work and couldn’t reply earlier:
1. I was supposed to go to Mo’s yesterday, but forgot to bring my Jersery or draft mag for JT to autograph.
2. Hope Hamonic recvoers well, and who knows maybe this is a blessing in disguise. Maybe now he wont get traded to a contender in the WHL, and will be able to go to Bridgeport for the end of the season.
3. I think people are underestimating how desperate some gms might be to make the playoffs. Making the playoffs makes money for the owners, and helps the gms keep thier jobs.
4. Also I think the Islander with the best trade value this season is Sutton. He has a big body, he delivers hits that liven the crowd/bench, plus he clogs the lane. What team in the East wouldn’t love him to clog the lane on Ovechkin, Crosby, Malkin??

…well upon furthur research I stand corrected, I thought it was just a poor rendering on long island on the logo. It does indeed cut off the boroughs. lol

If DP was really not that good, what was he doing in the NHL All-star game? That is where he got hurt.

I’ll be in Dallas for the game Friday night. Now, my wife might actually see the guy “who never plays” but has his jersey in all the NHL merchandise catalogs actually on the ice.

To post 42: why would they have the WC in the Blue Jays stadium when it completely is not a winter classic indoors. Our prospects look good but my man petrov has to learn not to give up on plays and always keep skating. If he does that we have a top 6 foward on our team if we somehow get him over here.

The Isles are not a legitimate playoff contender this year, nor would we expect them to be next year. Roloson’s value right now is very high – so why not trade a 40-yr old goalie for a GOOD prospect or a TOP pick at the deadline? He is in no way a part of the Isles’ long-term plans.

Roloson has been absolutely stellar, but if he could fetch a very good chip for the rebuild, then you’ve gotta make the deal, regardless of the DP situation or anything else. Rolie at most is here one more year.

No, the logo DOES NOT presently include Brooklyn and Queens! They are NOT there. The Brooklyn end of LI in real life is lower, more rounded, and knob-shaped…. not a vertical squared-off slice like the logo is. You can see other examples that show it, too. In fact I have a picture that clearly shows this to people who dont believe it, but its on my home computer and Im at work- so I cant link (sorry) but you have to believe those of us who are explaining this to you. The reason we are saying it is because it is true.

…there are somepeople around here that need a geography lesson. The picture of Long Island on the logo most definatly includes Brooklyn and queens. And wow I cant wait to see DP play.

Plus we had to use our first second rounder and first 3rd rounder on a goalie because management has no idea about this mediocre goalie with a huge ego’s.. health. Sorry for the multiple posts, but all the dp “gushing” is nuts. He is like the superstar that never-was.

*dominila: 4mil a year is not a good contract if you don’t ever play. Plus if you careful read my post I wasn’t only talking about money. Because of the DP “situation” (which has plagued us the following has occurred: We drafted 2 goalies and signed three, we have 4 million hung up in a player that doesn’t play. There is no continuity. Plus, dp is Mediocre. Do you hear that, mediocre when he does play. He over handles the puck and is not consistent. This is not disrespectful dominila, but how old are you?

I think that the Olympic break will be good for JT. Let him rest a bit and come back strong in March. Also, DP should get at least 2 starts before the Olympic break. Why not? Could he play worse than Biron has?
