  1. You have to watch that series to appreciate it,. it rivals some of the best in NHL history. … this week would be a great time for SN to locally televise some of the best playoffs games or series of those locals teams . appart from this trade .. this is a boring week of winter.
  2. Lol.. it’s JR and he old school tough skilled, hockey he wants to create. is if not easy to see what players possess that raw agitation to play the game hard and drive to win every night? it’s not about pretty.
  3. Why? Demko is broken, it could be game over already. Nothing wrong with Silvos. not a great situation but. Trading Demko, if that’s where this is going, that will happen this deadline. Might get a juicy D prospect and a pick. There is no need for Miller to move.…. But many here think we are in a total rebuild.… and we’re not. They are moving soft and weak.
  4. First one I see hip into arm and shoulder, Horton is leading with his positioning and has made himself vulnerable. Second one Stevens nails forearm into Kariyas chest . freeze frame dosent do it Justice.
  5. They are keeping Miller , they signed him to be the Vet presence while they get rid of the softness , including Horvat. In 3 years, the opportunity for your dream will come true,. But if we’re going to the playoffs , he’s here longer. told you and e v e r y b o d y else . “Bo will be traded.. too soft“ “Let Boeser walk.. not worth the money” ”Kuzmenko will prove to be better than expectations and push Brock out” “Myers will go at trade dead line for a team needing playoff D depth” ..that was all last Summer. Lol Hell we might have got Bret Burns (50%retained) for Boeser, the “brainchild management “ in SJ signed Hertyl to an 8.2 after cutting E Kane loose. This trade is great for us, and a career ender for Lou Lamarello , courtesy of Bo. just watch
  6. No. Now the term principal contact is used. That is when you tag the head only, and or first . Those were not . All hits usually end up involving some trauma to the head.. it’s inevitable. If you want to protect the head , keep it up, pay attention with and without the puck.. or simply take hitting out of the game.
  7. No Kariya and Horton were chest / ribs. Hesds and necks collapsed onto shoulder. Both heads smashed the ice. The ownership has to go to the puck carrier who skates with his head down watching the puck come off his stick only to watch it go where he sent it. Teaching the game is supposed to be by handling and passing with your head and eyes up , using only your pereferal vision to see the puck. Why not just take physical contact out if you can’t line up a hit and commit yourself to it.
  8. JT is not going any where. They like his drive and want that as a template for the younger core, it’s already rubbed off on to Hogz Podz Aman Petey Kuz . Theyll trade J T in 3 seasons IF they have to.
  9. I’m hearing more and more speculation that The Islanders will be worse next year than this year.. and Lou possibly losing his job. personally I’m good either way.. let the cards fall. But between Boeser, Myers, Schenn, and now rumours of Demko,. I think there is another 1st rounder this year or next. Hope we can lose enough cap to bring in a powerful D man. I do like D man Pettersen, plays a man’s game, I’d like to see him with Abby at the end of season or next full time. Jake Livingstone is another that would be good to sign for free. and Aidan Macdonagh is another prospect we hope to sign.
  10. To add, Same hit, same or more time lapse, same knock out hit.. no penalty. 6 years earlier. Paul Kariya returned to the game, scored a goal and was named the game's first star. Stevens didn't receive a penalty nor any disciplinary action by the league. At the time, many even put onus on Kariya as much as Stevens for not keeping his head up and being aware of Stevens' presence.
  11. Nice no to hear that too many are belly aching about this too much. This was a good trade for us.
  12. There was a 2 sec rule, you can and could get hit up to 2 seconds after the release. that was 1.5 after, it was a fair hit. The idea was play with your head up, nobody does anymore .. that is the problem.
  13. Do you think he runs with Bo in the playoffs even to lose Bo to UFA ? that’s bold .. see , that’s where I think Lou loses his job , is directly after Bo leaves if that’s the case.
  14. I think he is a great middle six, needs this opportunity, and he will get it. Great Skater, heads up anticipation, goes to the wide open areas with the shot, great accuracy, good skills. Seeing some of his vid, you can almost compare him to Kuz. He is not a reclamation.
  15. That’s like J Patterson whining for 3 months about acquiring JT .. the media is short sited and relies on creating myths, and negativity to create stories. I sometimes wish we could turn the clock back a million years Grandmaster,. Back then we could Wack the dim wits over the head with a big stick and be sucking on their ribs cooked over an open fire life was good. no useless information.
  16. It’s a bold move by Lou. Will Bo sign in Long Island? Will the Isles make the playoffs? Will they keep a top 12 pick ? Will that make them better next year. all the signs are against the Isles, I think perhaps they peaked not long ago and they should blow it up. im surprised they let Raty go. What points line is Lou looking for to go into the playoffs with ?.. and possibly with Bo unsigned, going UFA. I think he will trade Bo before the playoffs if he dosent sign there,.. even if the Isles make the playoffs.
  17. Kenny , I may have mentioned this before , but I think he will become our best Centerman at that position. I think he will become better at it than Bo was , in a shorter period of time.
  18. This is a buissiness. and I’m happy to see the idea this is a country club of friends or a family picnic start to blow up in fans faces. If you were making 4 to 8 mil a year, would you put more emphasis on your work relationships, or your personal performance . If Demko is sad ( not happy), he needs to ask for a trade when he is healthy to play.
