Goodfellas is one of those movies that if I find it on TV whatever I had plan for the next few hours just seems to not get done, sucks me in everytime! Love that movie!!
- Islesfan28


My sister in law dated a guy in that family.

It was pretty cool while watching the movie having him give personal details about this uncle and that uncle. Family dinners and holidays. Real details.

He also worked at Kennedy.

One day, I'm working in my garage and he stops by with Power Tools.

He says. Here's a gift for you. You can use them on your jobs.

I ask him where they came from and he tells me," They fell of da back of da Truck" !

Thanks but no thanks, I'll pass.

Pesci was great in that roll.

But IMO his best works came when he played the Comedian.

My Cousin Vinnie

Home Alone I & II

The Lethal Weapon Series. And even "The Super". Although not one of his best.

Pesci always leaves me in stiches

Not to take anything away from him and his other movies. Goodfellas and Casino were Classics. I've watched them over and over.

Loved My Cousin Vinny. Great movie. always had a boner for Marisa Tomei. She still looks incredible. I think Pesci plays the villan and his comedic roles extremely well. Casino and Godfellas to me were his best movies. He does the sociopath mobster pretty damn good.

The first thing I noticed about MacDonald when I saw him at Ice Works four years ago is that he was slow- too slow, I thought, to play in the NHL. I'm guessing that has improved, needless to say, but it's probably why he doesn't bring the offense to the table that he did in the minors. In the NHL, he has to stay in position, or else he'll get lit up on a regular basis. I figure that as long as he can play defense, he's a solid number four on a decent team, and that's good enough, IMO.

I don't think he's a solid #4 on last years team let alone a decent team. He's slow, lacks physical strength, gets bullied in the corners etc etc. I don't want him any higher than a bottom pairing guy.

He is a good 5/6 IMO. If they want to sign him instead of making a serious run at some FA's this year to give the kids some more time it should be for no more than 2 years. I have no idea why/how some Islander fans think he's a legit second pairing or God forbid first? Complete crazy talk. Like they forgot what a real defensman looks like or maybe they heard Goring say how good he was and actually believed it?

I have found out thru experience. That when dealing with certain people. Everything has a price tag. NOTHING is FREE.

Several hundred dollars worth of tools in the long run would cost me much much more.

Fair enough...

Thankfully I have not ever had that type of experience... anything that ever fell off a truck and found its way into my possession... well... its all good

He really needs to work on his skating but he could be a nice surprise next year or the following. It was pretty awesome that he scored a goal in his first NHL game.
- Cptmjl

I was there and it definitely was cool..but in fairness it was a god awful shot on a god awful goaltender.
