This is exactly what Snow wanted as I stated numerous times before. The guy is a nut.

did u miss Dee's blog.. Let me recap.. There I was in the locker room. The handsome ruggedly good looking Martin was sweating over his equipment.. and hamonic was ooozing with rippling sweaty muscles as I asked him what he had for lunch... Dipietro swished his beloved locks into his islander hat and with his sparkling eyes told me all I needed to know.. he is ready.

Other than Hamonic and maybe Streit there really is no definitive line up. I'm not kidding.

I would read here:

So he basically can't and won't be able to play anywhere but a men's beer league? He's made a great choice.

Folks better have some solid proof, or at least provide some sort of link, before they start throwing the steroid stuff around. This is how garbage Internet rumors get going. Now someone on another site says something like, "I saw it around at other sites that he was using steroids."

Bill Guerin.

Im noticing a trend here. Every sentence basically has an "if". If the 20 goal scorers produce what their capable of. If Brad Boyes produces what he once did. If, Ryan Strome makes the team. If Mark Streit has a season that he's capable of having. If Visnovsky reports. Too many "if's"....

thats because its a "season preview"...how is anything a fact before it happens?

obviously we'd all like to see someone who can make more of an impact brought in, but it hasn't exactly been a busy trade market these last 3 days..
- Isles_since_6

That doesnt excuse Garth from doing nothing but grabbing other teams busts off waivers. Its filler......

Hey listen......if they wanna field a minor league team then charge me minor league prices for season tickets. Im fine with that....

It should've been for the Isles. I'd be comfortable in saying there are very few if any with as many holes as us. It's an absolute joke which even the biggest Garth Snow bologney smoker could attest too.

Would you like a few facts before they happen?

Ahhhhh the old combative letsgoisles.........that train is always on time. You like those odds my man? Cause i do not. You wanna make a little wager on this season based on all these what ifs? Cause i'll take that action...

The most absurd thing about all of this is most teams offered discounts on tickets this year due to the lock out. The NY Islanders raised their ticket prices quite a bit. Must have been because they knew they were going to pick up Finely? That guy will put people in the seats!

Bill Guerin.
- eichiefs9

Did he say that?

The Islanders have claimed defender Thomas Hickey off waivers from the Kings.

Hickey was the fourth overall pick 4th in 2007.


Now this Tom hickey pickup could be really Nice. Maybe he is this years moulson or grabner. Lets hope.


Come on Garth. Things just looked up for us

Garth Snow "We believe the addition of Thomas Hickey, adds depth to our organization.

Reporter "Garth arent you at all skeptical about the fact that Hickey has never played a game in the NHL but was a 4th round pick"

Garth Snow "Charles has never given me any restrictions on spending"

Reporter "But Garth arent you concerned with all the inexperience on your backend"

Garth "We have faith that Rick Dipietro will continue to be the hardest working guy in our lockeroom"

Reporter "Garth you havent answered any of my questions regarding your defense"

Garth "Jack and I have discussed our team and we feel that we are a playoff contender"

if nothing is available, you cant get anything.

is this serious?

Are you sure about that? With fourteen teams eligible to pick first overall how is that possible?
- Cptmjl

14 teams were always eligible to win the lottery. What they removed is the limit to only move up four spots. Like when the the Devils won the lottery with the 8th pick, they moved up four spots to #4. That's the only thing that is gone.
