It will be interesting to see if Theoret (7th rd pick?)ever develops into an NHL forward!

2g now for him, with another Strome assist. I think a lot of it is because he plays on Strome's wing. Would definitely be nice though

I just added Graham because he's an Isles prospect. Brett Ritchie is the 3rd guy on Strome/Theoret's line. At the time, he had 3g, 2a. Guess I could have made that look a little better

@NYIslanders prospects cleanup tonight for Niagara #IceDogs; R. Strome- 1G, 4A, +3, Mitch Theoret- 2G, 3A, +2, Jesse Graham-1G. #NYI #Isles

In case anyone is a giant twitter addict like myself, that guy is awesome to follow for everything Ice Dogs related, which is nice when you have 3 prospects on the team.

IceDogs are playing well... I have only been to two games this year.

But they look pretty good.

Wish I could watch more SoundTigers games!!!

i figured it was something like that.

When will Strome crack the Isle's roster?

Is there a chance that he could play on Tavares' wing or is he a lock for the #2C job?

With the exception on Travis H this team is exactly where it belongs, in CT and not on Long Island. Way to go Tigers - keep developing in the minors - what a concept!!!

next season at the earliest for Strome he is figured for the second line center role, unless Bailey can get his chit together & own that spot. If Bailey takes the role then yes I could imagine Strome on JT's wing... IF Bailey can not lock it up then Strome would be the second line center & Bailey could end up on his or JT's wing.

Ah, nevermind. Nope, can't say that. Uhh, that's offensive too. Nope, not that either. Hmmm....

DiPietro hurt his groin in Germany

Solid effort last night for Bport, and a crazy second period. For anyone interested who didn't get to watch, I wrote a wrap-up and some thoughts: http://my.hockeybuzz.com/...er_id=55451&post_id=14196

Really like Nelson's game so far this season. And Cizikas...he just seems to do all the little things right on every shift. Anyone know what's up with Nilsson? What kind of illness is this that has him out of every game so far this season?

You can buy individual games for a few dollars on AHL Live if you want to just check out a game every so often. If you do, I'd recommend a home game since they're in HD now. Although, my feed kept cutting between HD and...clearly not HD last night.

Not even funny anymore. When will this guy realize hes done?

This is just sad. He needs to retire already. He is not healthy enough to stick around 9 more years let alone 9 seconds. Charles and the insurance people better be working out this mess of a contract. He is not healthy enough to play any longer. It's a joke if he is alllowed to continue.

- mighty13duck

When the contract is up & no one offers him a new one... but as long as teams will employ him.... why should he?

People can whine that the only reason he's playing is because of Wang's ridiculous contract, but here he is, injuring himself on another team that gave him a contract, when he cant get a contract any more.. that's when he'll have to hang em up.

I dont want to wish ill will on anyone, but the best case scenario for us Islander fans is that this is a career ending injury. But if its just a groin... it wont be.

As long as he can rehab & him playing isn't life threatening... there is nothing Wang or the Insurance company can do.

Nothing wrong with having two centers on one line - always good when #1 gets thrown out of faceoff circle...

Think Bailey NEEDS to be a winger. Or he has to be given 2nd line ice time, w/ PP time to see if he can flourish as he did in juniors.

He really is a damn good winger... I know people hated Schremp... but Bailey was damn good on his wing. Like I said then... Schremp isnt the answer... but Bailey on the wing just might be!
