I don't. I think Callahan is just another overrated Ranger which are a plenty as far as I'm concerned. Half their fanbase doesn't even want the guy resigned. How good can he be? Now all of a sudden since he's been picked these guys are all saying how wonderful and integral he is. Look at their thread a month ago and most of those guys were trying to figure out a way to trade him. Stepan? Give me a break.
As far as Okposo not making it I could care less but I love how Ranger fans are trying to justify Callahan and Stepan making it. If you have to justify it than you obviously don't think they should be there in the first place.

I'm not a Rags fan anyhow, but the way Callahan plays the game, I would want him on my team any day... I think the reason he got picked is for his defensive play and makes up a 3rd line of him Backes & who ever to go against other countries top lines. Also don't care if Callahan is over-rated or not but he does play a well-rounded game.

Reinhart cannot be an Isles fast enough.

Call me crazy but I'd rather have Ekblad ....

agreed...cizikas is a poor mans callahan

Per @Russostrib, Zenon Konopka placed on waivers. Gritty 4th-liner, good from faceoff circle. Wouldn't be shocked if he gets claimed

Could we see the return of Z?

The guy is consistently inconsistent. I like his game too when hes playing it.

Would like that, but I think Z questioned management or had issues w/DP
but hey, the guy wins faceoffs and that's something the isles lack....

Maybe he plays an inconsistent game bc the Rags have no system or identity bc he plays very good D but also tries to help out offensively since they have issues scoring, so possible he tries to much and loses focus about his game

we already have griffin

Soon Sam???

So, whats ur point???? don't wanna have to many good d-men on team.....
Do you think that Griffin is gonna be our savior? He will only be 1 of 6 d-men and last I noticed, this team sucks defensively....

Ekblad is going to be a stud defensively, and I'll take that any day since Isles have enough good C on team

I meant Griffin Reinhart

my bad, not watching the game

World Jr's... Russia beat the Americans today.

What do you think of Don Cherry's comments yesterday on Coaches Corner!!!

I personally don't like him.

Maybe? Doesn't really matter an incosistent player is an inconsistent player. I don't hate the guy don't get me wrong I just believe he's grossly overrated. Like I said a million times I can care less about the Olympics I just think the team they've selected is sub par and not because they didn't pick Okposo.

Would like that, but I think Z questioned management or had issues w/DP

Z's issues with the Islanders was due to him being a bad drunk and having issues with other players on the team believe it or not. Same problem with Haley. I doubt they pick him up though nothing is out of the question with this team.

This was a real classy move!!!

Russian... Alexander Khokhlachev.

It happened today during the game.

What did he say?
- kear20

He said he prefers his pink blazer over the yellow one with the purple pok a dots.

What did he say?
- kear20

He showed a video of the Canadians walking into the arena wearing suits and ties. Then showed the American team coming in wearing shirts withouts ties,(dress down a bit more).

Said the Canadians always show class an that is why they are better team... yada, yada, yada.

Just spewing his typical garbage.
