Can't argue that, it would be ridiculous to think any team could keep this pace, but this team has figured out how to win. Do I think this team would still have a good shot at the playoffs if they played a full season? absolutely.

i agree. you guys would be ripe for a 7-10 finish in a full 82 game season imo.

because this guy was labelled as a bust around the NHL the past couple years. granted, i haven't watched any isles games this season so i'm just going off hearsay.


hey man i understand that you guys have secondary scoring. i was just making a point because you were saying we have none and that nash is our only good player.

- rangerdanger94

Nash is not your only good player. That is not what I said. I said you guys cant score. I still like your defense and Lundqvst is top three goalie in the league. Offense is not the Rangers strong point.

Hey now he is playing awesome right now. Lets not put him up on a pedestal though. He still has a way to go. If he can play like that for a full 82 game season then I will take everything back I have said. Taht being said hope he gets a hat trick against the Rangers
- kasperrko


He had a great start two seasons ago...first 5-7 games he was on fire...then somehow was sent down to B'port half-way through season. He finished within 10 points of stamkos in OHL in his draft year. Never wanted to see Josh go unless the return was staggering. KO, hopefully can continue to improve but of all the #1 draft picks, he's still most likely to be a part of a major trade, IF (a big if) and when that ever happens.

Oh, the Rangers will score. And since its getting late in the season, and the games are getting bigger and bigger, Johnny "Red Light" Nabokov, is sure to revert to late season form on Saturday night, and suffer the same old big game sunburn on the back of his neck that he always has.

I rather win now. Nassau county politicians deserve to see an up and coming team leave

Well, the good thing is, with so few of them, you can apologize to each personally.

Jeez...even Isles fans keep overlooking Grabner when it comes to scoring! Anyone besides me notice the guy has just as many goals as Moulson (13) while getting absolutely no power play time, not playing with Tavares (OK, one of his goals came in the one game he got to play with him) and playing most of the season with Keith Aucoin??

i feel like last season they would practically pay fans to go.

a $20 ticket would get you like 10 free beers and 10 free hot dogs and a free jersey and 2 more tickets to 2 other games

They don't leave their comment section. They are like North Korea, they stay to themselves, praise their Dear Leader in Kim Jong Lamoriello, and have no clue how good the rest of us have it. I just hope they don't fire a missle at the Colisseum tomorrow night.

islanders are 2 points in the playoffs at a point that would be half way through the season if it was an 82 game season and you guys are getting cocky and all high and mighty

do you really think your isles would be able to keep this up for 41 more games if it was a real season?

- rangerdanger94


Absolutely. Who's to say we wouldn't even move further up the standings and continue to gain ground (not catch) on Pittsburgh? This team started slow and has seemingly come together. While you could argue that perhaps they'd hit a slump and drop again or tread water from this point on, evidence to the contrary suggests that we're a young team who has finally found the right combination of size/speed, talent/power and will.

I'm not going to knock the Rangers because I believe they're starting to peak as well, though I will say I don't think the Rangers were quite as good as perceived. They over-acheived over the last couple of years and now folks have come to expect that same performance or better. We'll see. The Rangers are a 'good team'. Not elite in my book. The Isles are an average team who have appeared to become 'good'. I think both teams are clearly capable of taking the other to a game 7 in a series and given the impact players we expect to arrive next year along with available cap space, we may very likely pass the Rangers within the next year or so.
