He will get a nice long look. I honestly feel that he will make this team. The Islanders like the flash and smaller guys. He is a shoe in

dee, i think i speak on behalf of almost everyone (i assume XX wants it). can you not post the email of rob shremp??

the guy was such a minor part of this team when he was here. now that hes not with the team hes dead to most islanders fans.

why would we care to read an email exchange involving him?
- LetsGoIsles

This is soooo funny to me. I thought it, you said it! Noone cares about Shremp cocktail

No, dont misunderstand........I dont think he makes the team because of his size. I dont think he'll be able to take NHL punishment.

Personally, I dont like his game because he's all flash.........but I dont wanna go off on my Don Cherry rant.
- kindlyrick

he's 6'3" 195 20 y/o

what exactly is wrong with his size???????????

As long as Grabner is on this team, Kabonov doesnt have a spot in my opinion.

Naa i get my own e-mails from Robbie... but thanks for thinking of me!!

they should make a AL strictly for RDP, instead of the DL....

Rick has been put on the 15 day Abled List, we expect him back on the DL within those 15 days
- LetsGoIsles

Obviously the injuries are an issue..........we all know that "knee swelling" will come into play before the all star break. But, the thing that noones talking about is that this guy really hasnt played competive hockey for years. Theres a big difference between putting on the pads and playing in a real game. The question is, does he even have what it takes to be an NHL goaltender?

Grabner playing all 8 wing spots??

First of all, just because they say 195 lbs doesnt mean he is. Furthermore, he's never been up against a dman like Chara, or a forward like Lucic. These are men......I think he's in for a rude awakening.

Wikipedia has him 20 lbs lighter. 176 lbs is not NHL ready......sorry

why does KK have to be on the second line??

XxNYIxX
- XxNYIxX

Cause he's not a first liner. Someone has to be able to dig the puck outta the corner on that top line.

YOU"RE THE ONE who listed his size. IM THE ONE who said i didnt believe it. Either way, im gonna go with Wikipedia being more accurate than the isles website. One is a little more biased....

Boy if you had you're way, we'd have a great lineup on the isles.
