Trade deadline came, and we left two players to the better. Tyler Kennedy is assigned the old Vanek/Moulson number of 26, and Neuvy is #30 in your programs, #1 in your hearts.
Back to work, boys. Dallas may not be in a playoff position, but they're a talented team, despite not having Seguin in their lineup. This is the sprint to the finish with the MSG gang and the Crying Marios. I'm not sure I care if the Isles end up in first place or not, but certainly want a strong showing heading into the money season.
Jaro Halak gets the start; Viz in for Strait, and Kennedy is in for Mallrat. Cappy suggests the lines will be: 27-91-12; 40-51-26; 86-18-13 and 17-29-15. Interesting.
I like Kennedy already, who when asked about a possible playoff matchup with the Pengos:
| You always want to beat your old team, and we have the team here to do that. |
Garth also has belief in this club and wasn't willing to make any major alterations to the roster, saying:
| (The team) deserved an opportunity to build off what they started here in the first three quarters of the season. There's a lot of good chemistry. There's a team in that locker room and we didn't want to delete any of the players out of it if we couldn't. |
Let's Go Islanders!
All I know is that sometimes you have to be wary
Of a miracle too good to be true
All I know is that sometimes the truth is contrary
Everything in life you thought you knew
All I know is that sometimes you have to be wary
'Cause sometimes the target is you.
I wonder what happens when (hopefully) Okposo comes back. Who gets moved from L1? I would think Bailey.
Let's hope for a nice March start for the Chemistry Kids.
I'll second this notion... no in house discontent here!
Let's Go Isles!!!
Marbles - while Kennedy definitely has wheels, his career deployment has almost always been at 5v5, with no PK experience. We'll see if they try him there, but I'd be surprised. Certainly can't make the PK any worse, right?
Fish...too kind, my brother.
BAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

He is now following Fish into other threads to start shit. Fish cry to the mods like he does
Yup, from the looks of it with Frans and Grabner
Don't care about the points from him per say. Just want the trade to be for that conditional 3rd round pick!
==steps off soapbox==
Enjoy the game, fellas. Off to a business dinner that'll have me missing most of this one.
I love our threads but the Ranger ones are freakin' hysterical... between Anak and Davisian going at it and the spewing of Hudson and Soda pop and pony boy and whoever else, it's gold Jerry, gold.
Go Isles
I have seen worse called a minor
