Dear Garth Snow,

after watching every game this season on NHL center ice, I've decided to do you a favor and offer my services to this team as it's clear that there is plenty of room for improvement past the first line. I will sign a contract at the league minimum and even bring my own equipment (although it is goalie gear)

I have no professional ice hockey experience and have been playing for fun in recreational leagues on and off since I was 16, but mostly ball or roller hockey. That being said, I'll be a good quote and I have my own jersey.

I would prefer to play goalie but its clear that you're in desperate need of help everywhere, so I'll play wherever the muppet you have coaching says I can play. I figure at least the third line, since Brian Rolston has been playing 2nd and 3rd line wing all year, and I won't even ask for power play time, and I'll hustle and backcheck like a fiend although I can't skate backwards well, so don't play me on defense HA!

I'm sure if you can afford to pay Brian Rolston 5 million dollars a season I'll be a much better deal, because I'll stand in front of the net and watch my linemates work the corners, and I'm sure I could hit an empty net as well if you want to play me late in a game.

I'd prefer not to play friday or saturday night as those are date nights, but a lot of your players don't show up to games so I think this is a reasonable offer.

Please respond whenever is convenient, if I don't pick up the phone immediately it's likely because I'm trying to improve my kill:death ratio on battlefield 3, but I will call you back as soon as the round is over

yours truly,
Isles since 6

So finally the islanders get a taste of poor officiating? welcome to the leafs and every other teams world, it works both ways so cry about it tonight and then get over it

Its the 4th game decided by officiating for the Isles this year.

Oh wow, a playoff series 10 years ago! As a fan, you whine about the calls (that go both ways, I might add) and then you suck it up. I didn't say grabo didn't do that, I'm saying non-calls happened to both teams, so stop harping over how "the leafs get away with everything, league's favourites" etc.

You think I'm whining?
All I was doing was pointing out the obvious. You got the calls, congrats. I'm too old to let you or this game get my panties in a bunch.
I never said anything about "the leafs get away with everything, league's favourites," exactly what you wrote. I, frankly, don't watch enough Leafs game to make that kind of observation.

I didn't even have volume on my living room tv, which is hooked up to a surround sound system. I had to come into my computer room, hence why I was in here, to have sound. I pay more than 180 bucks a month for the crappy cable I have and I can't get HD or, even, volume. A (frank)ing disgrace.

God, give it up. You're the only one crying at this point. You won the game, congratulations.

Figures

As much as the refs (frank)ed us over tonight, we need to be able to overcome that if we expect to be successful.

got that right

How did the Isles lose this game? Since I do not have MSG I watched Moneyball. I wish Wang and Snow would watch it and learned something.

Same ref that made phantom delay of game call vs. San Jose. Hassenfras

Channel 460 on IO was HD. I unfortunately saw every non call in full 1080i. 2 games without a penalty from that filthy f'n team. Gimme an f'n break. Is that nancy-boy Phaneuf wearing MLB umpire gear under that uniform? What a joke that assclown is.

Goin downnnnnn



4-3 Leafs

Didn't know that. Oh well, I guess it was for the better.

Meh, we lost. Can't blame the refs every loss.
