formyhunny Posted February 25, 2011 Report Share Posted February 25, 2011 Haha what do you have to be so bitter about!? The Islanders were a Dynasty... in the 80's. My dad had full season tickets and was at least 2 Stanley cup clinching games! Now the Islanders are in the NHL's basement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CJ Matthews Posted February 25, 2011 Report Share Posted February 25, 2011 Now the Islanders are in the NHL's basement. They're better than Ottawa and Edmonton, and they can be pretty exciting to watch, and can't get much worse. Keep getting those high draft picks and they'll keep getting better. Grabner is a beast!

As long as Charles Wang is the owner I really don't see what the team can do. Plus I don't know what players would want to play for them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plus I don't know what players would want to play for them. Yeah I was surprised Moulson signed an extension, but good for them and good for him if he's happy there. All it takes is one person to start the trend and turn things around. Look at the Knicks. Amare signs, and all the sudden the team is a desirable destination again. Now Melo comes. Who knows who will show up next. Edited February 25, 2011 by CJ Matthews Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My dad had full season tickets and was at least 2 Stanley cup clinching games! I'm always bitter . I unfortunately was only around for 1 NYI playoff round win, but was alive for the rangers' Cup. My cousin's husband reminds me of this everytime we talk hockey lol. In standings yes. But financially no. As long as Charles Wang is the owner I really don't see what the team can do. Plus I don't know what players would want to play for them. A lot of people really don't know how nice of a place Long Island is. Most players only see the Mariott, Uniondale, the airport, and the Coliseum. I agree that Wang is a problem, but there are some guys that do love(d) being an Islander and retired here (aside from Moulson, Bill Guerin, Dead Doug Weight, Rick DiPietro, Bobby Nystrom) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They have had 7 dress up + Nabokov this year...how many more do they need?!?!?! lol. The Isles are going to use fillers until Kevin Poulin and Mikko Koskinen are ready for the show and that is when Ricky D becomes the highest paid goalie coach in league history Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah Tavares is only going to get better. As for goalies, yeah that's a huge problem. Not just getting a new one, but getting rid of DP. I'm always bitter .

I agree that Wang is a problem, but there are some guys that do love(d) being an Islander and retired here (aside from Moulson, Bill Guerin, Dead Doug Weight, Rick DiPietro, Bobby Nystrom) I was alive for the Rangers cup, but I've only been watching hockey for the past 3 years, so I can't say I'd like to see ONE in my lifetime, but I'd like to see ONE in the time I'm a fan during my life. Long Island is great. I should know, growing up there and still spending a lot of time split between there and NYC. I don't blame anybody that would want to live here as opposed to some other place like Buffalo or Phoenix. They have had 7 dress up + Nabokov this year...how many more do they need?!?!?! lol. The Isles are going to use fillers until Kevin Poulin and Mikko Koskinen are ready for the show and that is when Ricky D becomes the highest paid goalie coach in league history Nabokov should've just reported, especially after all the injuries, just to serve his time and get out of there if he really didn't want to be there. He just made things worse, cause now he's there for next year too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who knows who will show up next. It doesn't work that way in hockey. One guy isn't going to score 30 goals a night like Amare scores 30 points for the Knicks a night. You need an elite top line to win in hockey these days. And that's just a start. One guy doesn't cut it anymore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One guy doesn't cut it anymore. That's very true, but at the same time, an elite top line is made up of 3 players, each individuals, and as one comes, so will another, and another. Things will fall into place. You can't get a top line all in one swoop, it's a building process. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
