Tavares was just on Boomer & Carton. Egg head was wearing a Islander jersey, Boomer a Ranger jersey...carry on

If Marty Broduer is in net for the Devils I would bet that it will be Rick DiPietro for the Isles and not Nabokov.

Can you say 0-1?

Not happening...where does Dee come up with these gems...

Rick DP needs a seat at the end of the bench all season and hope he never gets game time, gets hurt in practice an IR for the year. That's what she meant to say

As isles fans we put up with all the managements nonsense. the lockout didn't prevent me from goin to the home opener. A DP start in goal will exile me from the colisuem for the rest of the season baring a phenomenon of them making th playoffs.

Dp has that imaginary rivalry going on thinking he is on par with someone who will be in the hall of fame. Hang em up Dp

Is Carton from Brooklyn? If so I wouldnt be shocked if he now has a new found "love for Hockey" since Brooklyn will have a team in the coming years. Or he is doing it to piss off Boomer. One or the other...

Dee, the Islanders under no circumstances will be play redlight Rick DiPietro on Saturday. I can guarantee you that.....

"Almost there. Saturday will be the home opener and I hope you bought your tickets through the social media special for extra special savings. I will say this about Saturday: If Marty Broduer is in net for the Devils I would bet that it will be Rick DiPietro for the Isles and not Nabokov.

Rick and Marty have had a long standing respect/rivalry since Rick first came to the Islanders. DiPi loves playing against Broduer so I would imagine they will face each other on Saturday."

WTF are you talking about???? You really can't be that clueless can you? UIF please take over please!!!! Dee is to blogging what Wang is to the Islanders

why haven't the Isles bought out Double Penetration yet? You can afford the cap hit on your payroll and why risk him getting hurt again?

I'm gonna go out on a limb and say because we have the worst owner in pro sports

We have a cheap ass clueless owner!!! that is why..

Dp isn't good enough to play against Broduers jockstrap, And not Broduer himself..

Dipietro hasnt been relevant since his fake all star selection.. Any other team would have bought out this useless bumm years ago.......

What do you think they'll be? I say the Saturday night lineup is:

Moulson - Tavares - Okposo
Grabner - Nielsen - Boyes
Martin - Cizikas - Ullstrom
Boulton - Reasoner - McDonald


Streit - Martinek
AMac - Hamonic
Hickey - Carkner

Nabokov

yea, sounds about right, just didn't know if the Isles said anything. No Aucoin?

Figure either Aucoin or McDonald will be an extra? I guess McDonald would have had more time to learn the systems, so maybe he plays tomorrow. Both probably get sent down when Bailey and Joensuu are back, unless either Cizikas or Ullstrom play really bad.

this is what I'd prefer considering Strome and Reinhart aren't available (or ready) and Nino/Donovan are not called up. Looks at least a little better, but I'm not sure Boyes doesn't drop down a line at least after a couple of games if he stays invisible

Hopefully by the end of the season it looks more like:

Moulson Tavares Okposo
Grabner Nielson Nino
Bailey Cizikas Ulstrom
Boulton Reasoner Boyes

Streit Hamonic
Visnovsky AMac
Martinek/Carkner Donovan

Nabby
Poulin

If they come out of the gate slow look for Nino, Donovan and Nelson to be brought up from Bridgeport. Anyone that doesn't have a long term contract will be waived or traded by the trading deadline...

Heard the interview...Boomer said he heard that Martin was on the block...anyone see that rumor?

As much as Isles fans like him for his physicality, can't see other teams giving up much for him
