How does it feel to not be liked by anyone from any of the teams you like?

Look, fellas, the short bus stopped here and dropped off the man without a country. Hated by his fellow Rangers fans, cast off from BBI, and he wants to make nice. I almost feel bad for him. Not really.

LMAO, you fucking joke of a DNA strand. Bye!

When Crysby has his career end with a hit and Malkin jumps to the KHL the Pens will be on the decline... Who knows, Hudson will probably jump on the islanders bandwagon. Jerkoffs do that kind of thing.

Tell Cindy we will see him again tomm night.

Ha. Love it.

ceremonial puck drop tomorrow night before the game

Before being a fucking dbag like hudson. Nothing like a guy talking shit about other hardcore fans when he cant even pick 1 fucking team. Thanks for doing your driveby post

What was the fan pct in pitts tonight fellas?

90%douche

We won't see him if the Giants go into rebuild mode. He will frequent his soon to be new favorite team. The Eagles maybe? Cowboys ?

I would go with the Eagles. Seems to fit your profile.

Like clockwork... what a little bitch!!!

Will have the ceremonial puck in his rug when he walks out.

KW is killing me here.

Have you seen his weiner?

Avg 2nd period and a solid 3rd period. Right now they have 2 of the best people in shoot outs with Franz and Kyle. Very good win tonight. Take them to the barn and kick there ass tomorrow.

Fish JT almost win the game in regulation with a great pass to Hickey. He right now is playing against a lot of solid teams and seeing their best defensive forwards. He is playing much better 2 way hockey. Will take a win whether he scores or not.

Respekt mah ahthoridah

Go home and eat Cheesy Poofs with your "mother"

I think JT playing 2 way hockey is very overstated to make him feel better about his terrible offensive play. His linemates are pretty much the only - players on the team right now

The best sports team in the ny metro area

I think he's playing poorly for HIM. He's still the best player on the ice ;)

Has turned the puck over a lot and looks at little slow. He turn it on. Plenty of season left.

My man Ryan Pulock with 2 more goals tonight. That's 6 in his past 4 games and leads the Tigers with 8 on the year.

He's in fiyah, eh?

At the Phantoms game I watched our old boy Haley play for the sharks. Spent the whole game in the box. Beat the shit out of a guy twice his size.

I should be in an allentown bar, knowing Haley he's getting blitzed.

Seems like he's pretty steady to me I'll admit I was ready to give up on him. I'm glad they were patient. He d
over came some injuries and looks like a solid player.

Into the wall pretty hard. Lucky he came back.

Haley is insane. When you go to the BPT/A'town game, see if anything happens between him and Gallant. He just racked up a 34 PIM game the other day.

CDH? Love him. Mentioned later last season I love how well he skates, makes the great, accurate breakout pass, is positionially sound (most of the time, more in a second), dependable defenseman who can also jump in offensively. Remember, CDH came from the same draft as JT. The Islanders traded Chris Campoli and Mike Comrie to Ottawa for the Senators’ first round pick in the 2009 draft and Dean McAmmond. Snow then parlayed his chips to get to the #12 slot (coincidentally, Nick Leddy was drafted at #16 in the same draft). The Isles scouting staff certainly saw a lot of things they liked to grab him. I can definitely see he's a quality player.

Where he does have to work better, though, is staying with his man through the crease/slot. I've seen him both tentative or unsure picking in a man approaching off the boards towards the goalmouth, or he sometimes shuffles his feet and is a step behind leading to scores.

I think he does nothing but improve that facet, and as we've seen this year, he is building into being more physical to positive result. I think he has the most chance of our current d-men to develop into a better than average overall defenseman. Big fan. But I also like Boychuk as well as Leddy. The more I see of Leddy, who has some minor defensive flaws that should also improve, I really like his game. He has plus skills. And of course, between Pulock, Reinhart and Pedan, there's interesting skill sets that will emerge and present opportunity. Certainly nice to have depth.

Fuck Crosby and the arena my tax dollars paid for.

I always expected he'd do well. Defensemen almost never excel right away, physically, they just can't. I watched DeHaan a good bit in junior, and with Canada's teams. He always had the goods. He's just 23, and still growing a bit.

People have negative things to say about de Haan?

I'm honestly not sure how to respond to a de Haan basher at this point. He is steady. He is a good skater and I trust him in the defensive zone. He's only going to get better.

You are literally the one entity isles and Rangers fans alike can agree on. Every breath you take is a disservice to the rest of the world.

Is legit. Not sure whats in question.

Haley is on the Sharks, the opposing team. To night they play st johns ice caps.

Brendan Kitchon. That's my former isle note of the day...aka, Brendan "wasn't even a top 10 d prospect" Kitchon.

De Haan does the lazy no hit style in his zone. Yes, he is steady when it comes to getting the puck and moving it up ice but you're either being a homer or not watching close enough. The tying goal, malkin has the puck along the board and de haan is in no mans land and he does the typical isles dman laziness, put my stick down and hope for the best. He needs to go at Malkin and make him do something not let him sit there and survey the ice and make that pass for the goal.

Every other dman has been playing much more aggressive and less of the stick down stuff. Viz is the best example last night. On a play behind his net he skated with the bigger pens player who had the puck, in thevpast our dman would just shadow and keep his stick down in the passing lane, but Viz put his shoulder into the guy and just took the puck right away. Thats how our D has to play. We have seen them doing this more and eliminating the AMac way of playing(flopping like a fish around the net)

If you are gonna question a guy like Grabner finding a spot because everyone is playing so well, then you have to admit that a DMan can also be pushed out for playing weak. Pulock made this team in camp, he got hurt and lost that spot for some assinine reason but he is wrecking bridgeport and he is ready to push for a spot on the club. Just my opinion but I think de Haan right now is the guy he is pushing

I respectfully disagree. Pulock is the first injury callup, and I think the spot that's his is Viz's when his contract expires after this season (assuming we don't bring him back at 39 next year, which is likely, I'd think).

Funny we are discussing the merits of deHaan. Think about that a second. In the past, a player of his ability could not be questioned because there was no one to push him. Now the stable in Bridgeport is pretty full.

Also, the fourth line played well again. Martin scored off a nice snap shot. Again, with Grabner lurking, guys are fighting for playing time. Even the competition in practice is making this team better.

The Isles did not have their "A" game, and won in Pittsburgh with their backup goalie, in November (a month that has killed this team in the past). Maybe this team is pretty good after all.

A team still coming together, new goalies learning their teammates' tendencies, secondary scoring in spades, and a "middling" John Tavares...13-7 and not playing their best hockey yet...dispelling the November slump...I'll take it.

Rarely has a bad game. No, he's not physical but he's typically in position.

I guess I'm just not seeing what you're seeing because I'm not looking for it. I see a player who is positionally sound with above average puck handling.

Everyone is allowed their opinion. Im only thinking this year. And after a few rusty games, I think Viz has been the best Dman.

I just dont see the love affair with de haan. Hickey is a better version of him at this time.,

I guess with the depth we can continue with de haan but I think a Pulock would bring a bigger body and a sick shot to the D.

As marbles pointed out, though, it's good to be quibbling due to success finally as compared to lack thereof.

And mea culpa...I shortchanged us on the W-L record. 13-6. I hope I didn't jinx us for later. That post was prior to morning coffee (for once, the kids let us sleep in late!). Forgive me, o merciful deity that is JT...

but watching Islanders in 60 now.
I love how the D has the look up and make the outlet pass first mentality.
Directly resulted in Martin's goal, even though MAF probably should have saved that.

Big key to tonight will be staying out of the box again.
Grabbing these 27th and 28th points will be huge

Hickey also has more experience. Viz and CdH are bound to get hurt again and I have seen enough of Strait to know that I would rather see what Pulock can offer. I like the progress Nick Leddy has made this year

You cunts just had to make it a three point game?

#fuck

Yes, because we wanted to make certain hudson interjected with his usual nonsense.

But our shooters do not double touch the puck

Sucked all year, yes. That's a good point. But he's been very solid. And he's already proven he can shut down top lines.

You are right about Hickey. He's been a better version of the same player. Both are not physical and both are positional players. Hickey has been very good this year.

I'm just not down on cdh yet... In general he been good.

I ALMOST feel bad for Rangers fans having to read Hudson daily. ALMOST meaning, it makes me laugh in joy.

He doesn't really post much anymore and I find him easy to ignore. He dominates threads with people telling him to go fuck himself, though (this one it's well deserved)

He actually occasionally has solid posts when he discusses the game instead of his trolling bullshit.

And Strome. Nelson is a glue guy with leadetship qualities. Strone has an unlimited ceiling. His skill level is unquestioned, but his defensive game has grown so much. He is a two way monster.

Training in the offseason with Tavares is must for all these guys. The present and future is bright.

Have you seen the show about the training dacility Tavares uses? I saw one episode, with Nick Swisher. That place is awesome. YouTube it.

They were more coherent than the stuff I post here sober.

Round two, boys.

That place is world class. It is wonderful to see the team's best player utilize it. While Tavares is the captain, he is an underrated team leader. He is one of those players a franchise puts absolute faith in, and never looks back.
