Garth,
Please bring up haley to center gillies and wrecker. Then I will
come back to the coliseum and pay to watch some entertaining
hockey. Disney on ice, is a more physical event than an Islanders game.

If FIOS starts broadcasting MSG in HD I would be so friggen happy. Fios is great but watching my Isles thru a dirty window, blows.

As a followup to my comment at #49,should the Isles be sellers at the trade deadline and decide to move one of their higher salaried players for an inexpensive prospect,they could be in danger of falling under the Cap floor. Again,it is evident where he is now is just where Wang wants to be until he knows where he is taking his Franchise. Its quite frustrating pondering the possibility that our owners enviable Cap space in going to burn a hole in his pocket,while some other team desperately maneuvers to put themselves in a position to acquire Illya Kovalchuk or another difference maker.

Hey Garth now tell Trevor what he won, Well Thanks for playin Trevor, nows here’s your consoliation kick in the a$$. This team is a mess, starting at the top and going to the guy who sweeps the parking lot. Thank God For Schremp, Tambs and Nielsen in the shoot outs otherwise we would have 12 regulation wins this season. The NHL should seriously investigate why we have 43,000,000 in cap room and a combined payroll of 6,700,000. Its disgusting…

With fighting still on the rise in the NHL, the Isles continue to show they r one or two steps behind everyone else. I now continue my ban on watching Isles hockey till they get an Enforcer in the lineup on a regular basis. Team on most nights is an incredibly boring watch. I also would never pay the upwards of atleast $400.00 it would cost my family to go to a game to sit in my seat for 60 min with little to cheer about in a 2-1 game with supersoft players like the skeleton like Bruno Gervais? Why they r against a fighter is beyond me its not like our 3rd and 4th liners are any good they are in all the bottom categories like 28th best pk and such.

I agree with James @ 99 on the Ollie move. It’s more to free up cap space than anything else I think. The beginning of Sather making a move for Kovi in July probably.

Per Bob McKenzie, Boynton has cleared waivers. Isles don’t make a move to shore up depth at low cost.

Bob McKenzie just “tweet” (or “tweeted”?) that Boynton cleared waivers.

I never liked Jokinen. Never will…i don’t believe he’s that good.

I’m 100% for Boynton, but mostly because I’m 100% against Bruno.

Boyton is too slow for the uptempo game we play. It will be like having another Witt.

Gillies being waived is just b/c they have to. No sleep would be lost if he was picked up anyway.

its like missing nate thompson. Nate 4 games in tampa, 0G, OA 7shot total, 2PIMS.

James.. The Rag$ cut salary by getting rid of dead weight. Jokinen is a free agent so they will cut him lose.. Horrible deal by the Flames!
