I don't think Nabby has played bad to not play him but it is weird that they called Poulin up after 3 straight shutouts and he hasn't sniffed the ice.

They wanted Nilsson to get some games in Bridgeport. They'll probably send Poulin back down next week and recall Nilsson if Montoya isn't healthy.

Not stuck if there is a buyout next year. Wang chooses to be stuck. He can stick DP in the minors and bring in a real player to meet the cap. Wang puts DP before the team.

Wang will not send him down and eat it......the team will not add to its loses

I seriously think they want him to get to win #300 as an Islander before he's shipped out.

DP???

So will LaFontaine be the next one inducted to the Islanders HOF??? Would love to see that ......

Very much doubt it after the falling out Patty and Wang had.

Shoot, forgot about that.....maybe Patty will buy the team and honor himself...lol

No plans to retire: "Nothing like that has crossed my mind...I know I can play." Rick DiPietro

There always seems to be rumors Pat would like to buy them but I doubt Wang is looking to sell. Wang is not finished torturing the fans.

Nothing crosses this guys mind except how can I hurt my team more and make them look worse.

I've been giving DP credit for his effort and hard work in trying to come back. But there comes a time when ya just gotta realize your beating a dead horse. Now is that time for DP. His salary could be better spent on a Real Hockey player. Someone to help the Isles take the next step!

Very well said. Is it true he also has knee swelling again? He does not even play and he keeps getting hurt. I said this yesterday but a new blog was started but where is his family to say enough is enough. He has his whole life to worry about after hockey. The 4 concussion are no joke either. There are soo many signs for DP to retire and we are going to have to go through this all over again next year.

I love how Wang turned Garth into a party planner with these Isles hall of fame guys. If Garth did not have to take these guys to dinner he would have nothing to do all year.

This hall of fame crap is awful..drop the god damn puck already

Come on Chief how else is Wang going to deflect attention away from the current team? Does this make 20 hall of fame isles for this year alone? I'm also not sure why your in a hurry to watch this team play?

Did Butch really just refer to himself as a "former coach" ? Some set of balls on that guy.

Nice play there by JT to not just try and cram the puck through Enroth

Every time they do it its like they decided to do it 10 minutes earlier. So unprepared .
