all he has to say it was sarcasm that is all. With Motoya gone I have to live that the player made of spare parts and bolts will be a our back up goaltender. It really did nto sink in until my dad said something to me last night. So It is brewing in me

I listened to Boyes interview on the isles website and he said Weight reached out to him. Usually the GM reaches out to players but since Garth looks like a deer in headlights every time he talks in public maybe its a good thing that Weight does all the recruiting

So I assume Crosby reaching out to Parise means the Pens GM sux too.

Are we noticing a theme with all these Russians? Seems like there's always a common theme with them, no?

I dont mind Weight doing recruiting. Even though its Garth's job, Doug Weight is a very well respected guy in this league. I bet he has more selling power than Garth does anyday.

How hard can it be to move this team into a new arena?

It can stop the madness.... well @ least slow it down a bit!!!

- jimmc7722



Pretty hard if you want them to stay in the tri state area!

What do you mean... you don't think the players talk?

Of course all the guys are calling their buddies, and want to play together.

Weight and Boyes played together in St. Louis.

Look @ Parise and Suter!!! They made there decision together!!!

Dude if this guy is my number one goalie going into the season then this team is screwed he will have a .810 save percentage and a GAA of 4.03 and they will say how awesome he has done so far from coming back from injury

It's the Long Island/New York way. Everyone will start female doging when it's gone and all the dinosaurs that voted the plan down will be dead by then.

It is a very realistic fear of mine. I never want to see this guy in goal again for this team let alone with the starting job. Nothing would shock me.

Also I am sick of hearing that players wont come here cause of the arena give me a break. If the Islanders won the Stanley Cup last year players would be flocking here. All they care about is winning not the arena JUST STOP WITH THE ARENA EXCUSE

my only part on the arena is that the arena is th reason wang wont spend

If we all agree on this then why would they have the guy play this year? I know we don't decide what the team does of course(figured I'd beat some of you to the punch)but how is this even still being discussed? Time to hang up your skates.
