1. Exactly an opinion which you like to push on others as facts. So when other fans post their so called opinion you talk down to them like they have no idea what they're talking about.

2. A team 15 million under the cap or whatever number it is of course they are going to spend. Don't need "sources" for that. Again when you say everyone who are you speaking for? You have a tough time differentiating between some fans and all fans.

3. So your source was wrong then? Which leads me back to the original post of mocking others when they get excited hearing rumors and you respond with snide remarks like "Go enjoy your summer because nothing is happening on the sale front anytime soon" and then bang the sale is announced.

My point is you're condescending towards others when their opinion doesn't jive with yours and you take this approach that you're in the loop when in reality your not because if Wang himself has no idea what he is going to do next then how the hell could you be so sure what he is going to do? Do you know people sure you probably do, but for christ sakes lets stop the act of you know everything and we're clueless and have no idea what we're talking about routine. It's old buddy.

criticism noted. however, still think there is an element of being nitpicky on small items to a bigger picture of larger scope here.

Best.

5 islander skaters sat around watching an elite goal scorer glide into the slot and rip a shot off the post and in from point blank range with no resistance and its poulins fault?

How is it nitpicking when you constantly do it? It's your attitude towards others which is the biggest turn off for me. To each his own. You have a pretty big following so my opinion means nothing. Plus I knew my original post would lead you out from the woods

Kyle Okposo who many of you consider to be an elite winger scored 27 goals in 71 games last season playing the majority of the season with Tavares and Vanek. Rick Nash scored 26 goals in 65 games playing with much lesser talent. John Tavares, one of the greatest players in the NHL, was on the same pace as Nash (33 goals) had they both continued their pace for 82 games. Perspective.

He will score a goal 4 games in a row and then go invisible the next 20. That's not elite

JT is not an elite scorer hes an elite player. He makes everyone around him better whereas Nash, well not so much.

Nash is a goal scorer and that's it. JT is a playmaker who also dabbles in the goal scoring trade. I don't think JT is an elite goal scorer yet. He is an elite player because of his combination of playmaking & goal scoring. Big difference between the two.

Agree to disagree

My original post about how your defense needs to tighten up in front of Halak in order to get out of the basement in GA rankings stands. I dont wanna get into another nash vs okposo vs jt vs stepan rangers vs islanders piss match atm.

I don't see how ripping on Nash makes your defense look any better in that situation?

Fine, your defense let a scrub skate in and shoot. That's even worse!
