When was the last time your Islanders were even in position to win anything of importance other than the NHL lottery??

You're getting desperate just like your GM but its okay keep trying please

2 playoff appearances in the last 10 years. We haven't been much better with 4 in those 10 years.

When was the last time they won a playoff series? 1993????

I find it funny how all these people are already predicting the Sabres pick 1st in the 2015 draft.

It will be funny if they don't.

My guess you haven't seen an Islanders championship in your lifetime. So like I said keep trying.

Hey how is your football tea...oh wait

In fact even your precious Islanders are moving to a better arena in the city

Keep dreaming on that mcdavid/eichel happening.Keeps the fans content.Our start wont be anywhere close to what it was last year.Rookies will be more hungry and the stability created by TM and TN will improve this team alone imo.
- buffalo 1


Rookies can be as hungry as they want, we finished last season in last and also lost miller vanek/moulson and Ott. I'm sure the rookies were hungry last year too. Besides, murry already said it is likely that whoever they pick this year wouldn't even play for the sabres next year.

this is silly...i can say with certainty that you wont find many islanders fans who gloat about the past 15-20 years...if thats what youre looking for, congrats, you now had another islander fan tell you something we know all too well...

what we were ORIGINALLY talking about is your prediction of the sabres rebuild somehow being completed as early as the start of the 2015-16 and somehow making the playoffs despite the fact that they finished this season 41 points out of the last spot in the playoffs.

maybe im just jaded, seems like quite a stretch.

So you were what 5? 10 perhaps? Like it matters. As long as you have a crappy owner, a terrible GM, and an awful coach keep talking all you want

What difference does it make, he's not even from any part of New York.

His argument couldn't be more invalid, the Isles don't suck because the Bills never won the Super Bowl?

made the playoffs by winning the division while most experts including the brass in here had the Avs being a lottery pick again to start the season.

I cant complain.

Going to game 7 when you have your number 2 dman out with an knee injury, number 3 playing with a broken hand, your number 1 and 3 centers are out and you are missing a top 6 winger. Lots to overcome to a really good Minny team, dont be jealous of other teams success

i think you got his point. he is in fact VERY close to the player the parise is just doesnt score at the same pace...i think the prior dustin brown comparison is best

He has heart and plays very hard every game....like Zach
Isn't afraid to go to the front of the net....like Zach
good penalty killer....like Zach
and is an offensive threat...NOT like Zach

- LetsGoIsles

He isnt the caliber player Parise is, not even close IMO


He isnt even the caliber player Dustin Brown has been throughout his career.

I know. Not sure if the NHL still wants to change the rules where the draft basically becomes a shell game and to see where the non-playoff teams place.

There is no guarantee the Sabres finish last or second to last. Sure, I think they miss the playoffs.. by quite a bit. But I don't see them being lucky and getting one of the top two.

Perhaps its a stretch but with the plan and having Murray not Darcy in charge of the rebuild I don't mind thinking that way. They will be better after the 15 draft with or without McDavid or Eichel. That I will say with certainty and they wont be bottom feeders for long (1 more season)

Hell fans did it all last season.If this teams picking one next year everything they've done this year was a complete failure imo.I guess fans don't get that yet.I wont watch another team as dissfunctional as this one was last year.Be like watching the Bills again.

The difference between the Islanders and Sabres is the Islanders are doing the best they can. They sold tomorrow for today in trading for Vanek which means they believed they were ready to compete for the cup. They couldn't be more wrong. The Sabres told people they would tank and they did. They haven't even tried getting better. They are in complete control of their destiny. They have a historic # of first and second rounders coming up, one of the best rated prospect pools in hockey, a owner as rich and willing to spend as they come and an abundance of cap room. So go ahead, bash away about the 2013-14 Sabres.

A troll? Please, anyone that knows me knows I am far from it. Bringing up a Bills super bowl lose or a loss in the Stanley Cup finals is a troll thing to do.

The Sabres sucked this year, they will suck next year but are still in a better position building a winning team than your Islanders IMO of course before you take things way to serious and have a heart attack
