Beware misfiring cannons...onto 'Lumbus and the Jackets.
Same lineup as last game, Jaro Halak guarding the net. See, Strait acting like a punching bag standing up for Hicks earned him Cappy's eternal love and respect. Now he'll never sit.
KO plays in his 500th NHL game tonight. Congrats, Oakie.
Let's Go Islanders!
Keep on looking forward
No use in looking round
Carry your head above the crowd
And they won't bring you down
it's that "go with the hot hand, or stick with your starter" argument..
I'm hoping that Halak showed something in practice.. I don't know.
Pga said yesterday goaltending wont be a future headache but I'll believe that when I see it. We are always searching for that top goalie it seems.
I can't recall a single game where he wasn't at least OK.
Ha, enjoy the game BronxBombers. The Jackets are the closest thing I have to a second team in sports. Went to college in Columbus, watched the team's fan base grow, and watched them become a real competitor two years ago. A bunch of my college buddies are season ticket holders now.
Hated when they moved you guys to the East and we had to directly compete with you, but I hope the Jackets become a force again soon.
Hmmmmm. Maybe Isles should start their #3

At this rate I think we are
Kyle Okposo's 500th NHL game is tonight. He's only the second African-American player to come up through the US amateur ranks to do so.

Who was the first - Anson Carter?
Kris Versteeg LW Carolina
Alex Tanguay LW Colorado
Andrew Ladd LW Jets
Mikkel Boedker LW Coyotes
Jamie McGinn LW Buffalo
Nicklas Grossman D Coyotes
Kris Russell D Calgary
Personally, I would like Ladd or Boedker and then take a flyer on Tanguay. I also would like Russell to solidify the 5 or 6th spot. Thoughts?
Haha, Halak ruins your day again!

I like Russell - do you think Boedker would be much of an upgrade to what we have - or more so an acquisition to push everyone else on the team?

about some players that might be available. Tell me yes or no and what you think it might take to get them.

I think Wheeler from Winnipeg could also be a nice fit for us next to JT. Probably a long shot since he's under a (relatively) good contract, but if we traded Hamonic for Trouba--Trouba being a FA who will command much more money) demanding a Wheeler - Bailey swap, or something like that, might be a nice bargaining chip for Garth as well.
Isles need to take control here. First 4 minutes good, not so much since. The need to sap the will out of CBJ.

Yup - channel's not working on my box - if there's anything worse than seeing the isles give up that second goal (live streaming online) is dealing with TWC now to get it working
Now I'm seeing some of our guys watching. They dictated the pace to start, they are capable of doing it again. Just need to put these insects in their place. I fear that Korpisalo save gives them confidence and ultimately momentum.
The D needs to start playing D.
Halak didnt really have a shot at either. The 1st he gad 3 guys in front and didnt see it. 2nd was a terrible play by de haan that lead to a 2-1 onetimer he had no shot at
pretty funny

Can you stop? Islanders fans are supposed to stick together. The Islanders deserve to be criticized intelligently right now, and I'm all for it... but you're legitimately the only person who consistently ruins otherwise interesting discussion.
I'm asking respectfully, one last time, to give it a rest with the schtick and try and contribute something of value.
As for the team/game... it's incredible how if you give these guys just a taste of success, they immediately become complacent, and often, give back whatever it is they earn.

I apologize, Mike. I like you.
To be honest, I'm just so sick of the inconsistency of this team. I'll be at the game Monday, if you wish to meet for a beer.
As for Monday, I would, but it's a day game and I'll be at work, so I had to sell it. Some other time.

Actually made me like her more.
she said she saw a guy in a devils sweater and walked up to him and asked if he knew he was at the wrong game lol

Alright then.
I apologize to Pganut as well. You guys are true blue Islanders fans. I've been one for 38 years.
