My suggestion:
The next time one of you go...go to the Coca Cola showcase room at the complimentary fountain tasting station and grab a cup of Beverly. It's the greatest!

As is the asbestos inhallation chamber. There's nothing quite like the water slide though. You know, the one that has human feces meandering down the hallways and through the locker rooms.

anyone else hear Jamal Mayers say on the nhl network last night that the isles will miss the playoffs because they let Brad Boyes go??? I think I fell off the chair laughing
- Dan Petriw


Yep. They gave 3 reasons why the Isles will miss the PO's

1) They didnt upgrade the Goalie position (I agree)

2) They let Mark Streit Go (bye bye so long Farwell) no big deal IMO except they should have gotten something at the trade deadline for him.

3) Did Not resign Brad Boyes.

Jamal also felt strongly that the Isles over achieved last season.

Come on Jamal. They did what they had to do. They came together as a team and made the PO's. They played better then the rest of the teams fighting for the last spot. Period.

It was also stated that had the Isles upgraded their goalie position. They would be in a very good position to finish ahead of the Rangers this season.

All kidding aside. It was a great place to watch hockey. I have so many GREAT memories of the Glory yrs and fantastic concerts over the yrs. It was part of life on LI for me and my family and friends. It's really a shame what has happened. But lets not go back there. We have some time left before its off to Brooklyn.

Good one. I was trying to come up with something about the Asbestos but came up blank. Inhalation Chamber!

In the last 5 years I have gone 4/5 in predicting the Stanley Cup Champs BEFORE the season started, serious.

I had
2009. Pens
2010. BHawks
2011. Boston
2012. Kings
2013. I went with Canucks, I thought a shortened season would help them drastically.

This year, I have Ottawa.
Who do you guys have

We always start in Canada. The only way I can stomach that Mexican swill is after I've had 8 or 10!

I think Ottawa is the most overrated team in our conference. I wouldn't be shocked if they didn't make the PO's.

Yeah that's a good bet. I would go with Detroit/Blues or maybe Blackhawks with the West winning it.

I love the Blues team, almost everything about it. If it can't be the Isles, I'm pulling hard for the Blues.

For some reason they are still fun to watch even though Hitch is coaching them? I'm not a huge fan of him but watching them the last couple years in the PO's and the odd game here and there I came to realize just how good they have become. Have a lot of depth, they hit, they score, play on both sides of the puck. They are ready to really compete, they have been. Just been close the last couple years with game sevens.
Goaltending is their only question mark really.

OK. I'm just asking because I have a roster spot open in fantasy and Bailey is available, didn't know if he was playing 1st line.
