I would take John Grahame over DP anyday so I am glad for the signing. Ok as for the next 6 games, Please God all Losses. I think Pittsburgh comes out and steam rolls us today. I cant wait. We lose 6 we might get back into this lottery thing. Oh and I heard Wang is playing mega millions. Maybe he will win and things will get better who knows

Ah, thanks.

I am all for it the scariest thing is that we fans can probbaly run that team better than those clowns up there. I think we can put together a championship team

Also Montreal fired there GM now we fire ours Colombus does the same along with Edmonton and then we do a lottery for the next GM. Not only do oyu get apick this year but you also get a GM. I love it

Does the Barclays center set these prices? Pretty sure the Isles have no say in that. I could be wrong though

I'd take a chance with that, imagine if we "won" Garth back again? With our luck we probabaly would

Yeah I can see that happening as well but it would make things more exciting and then they can throw all current NHL coaches and have a lottery for that. See we can make hockey fun and exciting again. I am also for doing a fantasy draft sort of speak like the video games. That would be awesome

im all for the rebuild but your joking about them taking steps forward right? this season was an utter failure and steps were taken back. granted next year the young guys will be a year older and stronger but that is nature...nothing to do with the team.

this season was a HUGE failure...definitely no steps forward.

PA would be stepping to the side...neither forward or backward...just status quo

i will be piss if we miss the playoffs again.

I agree on the first line. Hamonic is a player. Jury is still out on Nilsson and Poulin, they have the tools. We'll see just how much development they got this year. There are so many other things that this team lacks to even be considered a competitive team, forget about "competing for the Stanley Cup". Not happening for quite a while with Snows record of trades, acquisitions, or lack there of. Its great to have Taveras, Moulson, Hamonic, and even PA but there are so many other holes in this team from the coach to the goaltender to the defense to the offence from anywhere else but that first line. I'd be the first one to shake Snows's hand if he tryed then failed. Got someone with even a decent resume to coach, play, or do a damn thing for this team and then it did'nt work out. I did not think this team for a second with this coach, defense, goaltending, the whole damn team from top to bottom would do a thing and anyone who thought they would was forget about drinking it, they were inhaling the cool aide and believing the usual shat thats come from the owner to the management on down. Its not a conspiracy theory that every hockey paper, reporter, or insider picked them to finish last or right near the bottom.
I want this team to succeed more than anyone but I can't see them making enough improvements just from what Ive seen to be competitive for ANY length of time. Thinking Snow will be "forced" to spend is ludicrous. The only thing our GM has proved is being able to circumvent and find loop holes in the NHL's salary floor rules. He will spend on rookies that are'nt ready and veterans that are way past their prime. Thats what hes done and there is no reason to believe that he won't continue to do so. Him proclaiming that this season would be a failure if we did'nt make the playoffs did nothing to inspire him to make a move with a coach, player, trade, or otherwise what makes next year any different? Or the following for that matter?
Him sitting on his hands and telling the fanbase everything is OK in Islanders Country does not make him a genius or a good GM. The only people or fans for that matter that Ive heard say anything positive about the job he has done has been on here? All of a sudden Snow is going to start wheeling and dealing getting even decent veterans, players, or a coach to complement all these picks hes made over the last six years? I find that extremely doubtful. Does'nt matter what the excuses are, why he can't or won't. His record speaks for itself and his record can't in any way be thought of as good up to this point.
I hope you Snow birds are right, I just don't see it and have zero idea how anyone else can?

this rant was brought to you by, Jose Cuervo

question if i may? in the nhl do you need to have a coaching staff or can you have a player coach? because jt draws up better plans then jack does

Technically speaking, we already have a better record and more points than we did last year. This season was only a huge failure if you believed the media's crap (or Snow's) saying we could/should make the playoffs.
