It's embarrassing. It really is. If it wasn't for the sheep on here I don't think she would blog anymore. So the sheep ruin it yet again

Well once you disputed the FACTS that the stadium is mostly half empty all the time, I'd figure why bother. It holds 45,000 and they avg 29,000, you're right the place is jumping I'm done with this silly argument. Go back to grazing with the rest of the sheep

Huh? I just stated that Snow is a horror show when it comes to talking in public and Weight seems to handle it and enjoy it more. What is wrong with you?
- Vukota


sorry.. misread it as u thought snow suked b/c he had Weight calling around for him.

there is good news and there is bad news:

good news: you finally decided to not act like a 12 year old boy and bring numbers and actually argument to your opinions....

bad news: your "FACTS" arent actually facts. it holds 42k and they average 30k. thats exactly 71.4% the world "most" means more than half, last time i checked 71.4% is greater than 50% correct?

unfortunately the last line you resort back to your old ways of calling people names simply because you have nothing else to see. how i am considered a "sheep", i still dont know but thats for another time

Probably not a stretch to think we have a shot at one of them But hey Snow is replenishing the farm system and around here that gets you GM of the year votes

Correct. BUT they didn't completely throw out the idea either. Now the Islanders are not even a thought process for these guys.
- Cptmjl


But is that due to them or simply the collective issues of the last 18 years? Given they're included in those issues but let's look at it this way:

Charles is very loyal to his own people. Milbury had to excuse himself...Wang didn't want him to go. Snow was given a GM position. DP got a 15 year contract. If anything, UFA's can see that Charles is willing to pony-up for guys who stay loyal.

45,000 with standing room only FACT!!! 29,500 plus is what they avg. FACT!! I said mostly half empty not exactly half as in 50%. Stop being so sensitive when i call you a sheep & clueless, I'm sure you have said worse to people on here. I'm done with this silly argument.

Technically 20% they're only at 70% capacity We won't even factor how many people actually go to the game
