Nice to play a team as disorganized as we are. That's what it looks like when the coach doesn't know what he's doing, from the other perspective.


Imagine that......47 was on the ice for a goal against. How much money is he asking for again?

They can't even lose when they are suppose too.

Can't win with this team.

Win the meaningless games.

Sadly this has been the pattern every season except last year.

I'd prefer them win as many games down the stretch so it can produce a lower pick that Buffalo should receive. Next year we will be worse and rather have the 2015 pick instead..

It's the simplest move.. You can't bench someone.. Somebody had to be removed from the roster and when that's the case the guy who doesn't have to clear is the guy who gets sent down. Halmo will be back, I don't think there is much of a story here
- Dan Petriw

I don't think there's much of a story either but you can sit someone for a game if they aren't playing well. Reward players with ice time like you say you do but actually don't.

After hearing goring talk about how the islanders have to try and get him signed I fear he will remain an islander. Goring saying that has me concerned.

Respect?? Lmao... Hahaha sorry.. This is a move that any organization makes daily.. I'm sorry but this isn't part of some grand conspiracy..
- Dan Petriw

Dont think anyone is saying its a "grand conspiracy"? Its ok to have an opinion and wondervas to why and how this club does things. Imo you'd be stupid not to question their moves. Not every team would have done this especially the way halmo has played the last couple of games. You make it sound like this was the only option and thats not the case. I'm not saying this is an end of the world move and I'm not losing sleep about anything involving this club lately but there's nothing wrong with questioning this.

Congratulations to Andrew MacDonald as he just passed Bruno Gervais as the all time worst Islanders defenseman!

How many years are you willing to see this team suck at the bottom?
You're expecting year 8 of the rebuild to finally bare fruit?

SIXTEEN blown leads? ?????? holy good god. Imagine if they held onto ten of them? It's more thanthe eight seed lol. Goes to show it's pretty good offense and no defense. And when I say no defense, I'm not that far off.

I actually agree. He should be locked up in a closet before every game!

No one's more relaxed than Garth. So much you, some might call it sleeping.
July 1st will come & go with only draft picks added to the system.

Garth will spend all Summer doing nothing and re-sign Nabby a week before camp opens and tell us all in October how he believes this is a playoff team. Anyone notice a pattern here?

Not really
