It got an 8.7 out of 10. That's pretty high for imdb.com

LOL...good point!!

Don't agree with the negative outlook, but it's kinda funny nonetheless.

That was facking hilarious!!! Brief glimpses of Pierre McGuire

Respected member of the media with an axe to grind against the Isles...

I don't see him go the extra mile to make any other teams look bad.

Ever since he was fired, he has been acting like a jack ass!!!

And we have a winner.

Professionals criticize all the teams equally, if you can only single out one that's an agenda.

How fitting is it that pretty much the two biggest jokes of a franchise are making this crazy headline.

I feel like this is how the convo went. I will put G(arth)/W(ang) to not cause a stir as to whose idea this was on the Isles end.

G/W: Hey Scott, I have a crazy idea.

SH: What is it?

G/W: We're really high on Murray. We are willing to offer you every pick we have in this draft for your first rounder.

SH: I'm sorry, but as a franchise we are committed to improving our defense tonight, as we expect to acquire offensive support in a Nash deal.

G/W: Pleeeeeeeeeeeassseeeeeee?

SH: No.

G/W: Come on its every pick.

SH: FOR THE LAST TIME. NO! MURRAY WILL BE A VALUED PIECE FOR OUR DEFENSE IN THE FUTURE!

G/W: DEFENSE? IS THAT WHAT YOU WANT? DEFENSE? HERE! (picks all defensemen with remaining picks) IS THIS WHAT YOU WANT? IS THIS ENOUGH DEFENSE FOR YOU? GOD!

You know what, Scott? You're going to look like the real idiot when this story comes out. You're turning down all of this defense.

SH: You're right. Give me the defense. I need it.

G/W: No. Its my defense and you can't have it.

SH: I need the defense, G/W.

G/W: Should have thought of that 12 hours ago.

SH: G/W CLICK G/W?

Interesting take on the "all picks for Murray" dust-up:

Islanders' all-in trade offer to Jackets makes sense

Edit: By the way, maybe our resident draft expressionary engineer can tell us what Murray's thinking in that picture in the story

He's got bad teeth and wants to wait till his NHL dental plan kicks in before he starts smiling.

WoW... Murray looks like his dog just died. But I will leave the expression to our expert in this blog.

I don't even know why I'm bothering with this because I know what the answer is going to be but did you see the draft? Can you honestly tell me that Reinhart looked anything less than disgusted when he was selected. I'm not insinuating anything by this just stating the way he looked.

And we have a winner.

No, that would be you

Peter Mueller now a UFA. Could be a nicer cheaper replacement for PA. 6'2 204 LOTS OF TALENT could put up good # s on JTs wing.
- gizzy77

Radek Martinek 2.0. Mueller is damaged goods. If he plays 25 games next year it will be a miracle.

Chris Botta ‏@ChrisBottaNHL
some folks still want to believe NYI offer was for Yakupov. It was not. It was all the picks to take Murray at 2. Next!
- eichiefs9

as a member of the media my response to botta is (frank) off. this guy has never quoted anyone. its always a tweet. he is nothing more than a glorified blogger dancing around like he is a real memeber of the media. you want to wear the big boy shoes get some real sources be a man and put your name on it

Douche or not he's a respected member of the media. He's not Eklund making up pea-brained, unfounded lies just for the hell of it.
- eichiefs9

he is not respected...the reasons he lost his media rights to the islanders is because "he was in the locker room trashing wang and snow to the players" and unlike botta i use quotes because i actual got that from a source not his own opinion

Yes, thats what i am. Actually, no I'm not but I'm someone who can look at somebody and tell whether they are happy especially when it was as obvious as that. You can't tell when someone looks miserable about something? Wang is a jackass so i can see him doing something ridiculous like that. Do I know that? Absolutely not and never claimed too or posted about it intially. I do know Reinhart looked unhappy about getting picked by the Isles. Go back and watch it. Why does it seem to upset you that I posted that?
- Cptmjl

you are too much sometimes...but why do you like this team??? i mean your breaking down facial expressions...maybe you should work for the feds...this really is not a story...damn he looks SOOOOOOOOOOOO upset...the humanity

Not so sure its called opinion when you have visual proof? He may have had the shats, I'll give you that. As far as fans ripping this team... So far Wang and Snow have done little not to get ripped about. Other than drafting( and its debateable how good a job he has done so far)Snow has done little at all to warrant the respect of the fan base. Wang, well we can just leave that one alone. No reason to state the obvious. Snow has an opportunity here. He's got "all of these prospects" that are just fantastic and ready to take on the NHL or so some were lead to believe. He has payroll that has to be met. I'm interested to see what he does with this opportunity.

then stop liking this team...nobody has a gun to your head and this would be a better site to talk hockey in

I'm sure Reinhart was ecstatic to have been picked. None of those kids are "upset" when their name is called. I don't give a s**t what that article says, the idea of trading an entire draft for one player who is not a generational talent is stupid. All drafts are crap-shoots. Nobody can say that none of the players picked in rounds 2-7 will not be quality players. I don't think anyone believes there is a significant drop off from Murray to Reinhart. The idea is just terrible.

Seriously? Shut the hell up you sensitive clown. I make a post how the kid looked like someone shot him(which he did) and you take it and run with it. I make a post about me being interested in seeing what Snow job is going to do and you get your panties in a bunch. Take a pill.

The idea of trading your entire draft for ANYONE, has historically proven not to work out, generational talent or not.
I refuse to believe this rumor.

I don't understand why some of you take such pot shots at each other. It's called the Internet and people are allowed to their own opinions whether or not YOU like them or not.
We're all supporting the same team in these comment threads. I rarely see any of the other teams fans take shots at EACH OTHER the way I see it in here sometimes. It's kinda disheartening, if you ask me.

I'm having a hard time believing it too. It would be completely out of character for Snow. The guy obviously values his picks. Just can't see it.

Completely agree. It's always amazing to me the amount of disrespect Isles fans dish out to one another on here. I know we are ALL frustrated by this franchise we all grew up loving, (and continue to love) and that losing and being routinely made fun of by the media, fans of other teams, friends, family and I'm sure countless others, has gotten to us, but.......


Can't we all just get along?

you have the right COMPLAIN about everything and I have the right to find it annoying and question why you like this team if your so down on them about EVERYTHING..i just don't understand how everything this team does gets ripped apart...its just a hockey team at the end of the day..thats all it is
