Dan, a caller on WFAN mentioned the Islanders might see if they can trade for Jonas Hiller from Anaheim...

Was the caller some random fan or someone who is close to the team?

that name has been floated for sometime...i'd be good with that if it was for the right price..i's also would roll the dice for a year and sign someone after theseason...

I'll take Hiller. If not, hopefully Poulin gets a real shot and does not just play once a month. Isles need to know if Poulin can play once and for all.

I don't blame the coaches for Poulins limited play. Poulins rebound control is atrocious. We may have missed the playoffs last year if we played Poulin more.

It may be true about his rebound control, but it will not get better sitting for a month. If the coaches do not trust Poulin, a better goalie needs to be brought in.

I'd love to get Hiller but I have a hard time believing Snow is going to do that. I'd be pretty facking impressed if he did.

Rebound control is a big problem for goalies who haven't seen a lot of game action, especially a young one who has spent most of short career in the AHL. You could have mad just as sound of an argument to say that perhaps if Poulin had seen 15-20 games, the Isles may have been confident enough to switch to him for the rest of the series.

Avery is a noted gay advocate. I think he's likely just messing with people for fun but see's it as making a 'bigger statement' in relation to national debates on the marriage subject. In short, I don't think he's gay but it wouldnt' shock me if he swtiched teams....
