Big blow to the team.

Who doesn't like Tavares? World class player with class....can't say that in too many sports.

Hopefully I didn't put a hex on him when I ordered his Olympic jersey.

that too they bring them up to bench them.

"arguably one of the top 5 players in the league"

Arguably? I would say definitely. Up there with Crosby, Stamkos, Ovechkin and Malkin. Big loss for both the Isles, Team Canada and my fantasy hockey team.

I believe Dan was being modest? We've dealt with enough trolls for one day.

yes that is exactly what I was doing lol

funny how everyone was worried about Vanek getting injured and now this... ha..hahah.....


what did I do to deserve being a fan of this team

Nope, but he is a good friend of mine. Just trying to get him some hits, and it really is a good read.

I blog on another site. Im not a Cloutier fan. Don't care if he does well or not, but I wouldn't "work" for him. Ever.

Sorry but I think the blog is poop! Didn't read all but some posted snipits and its way off.

They can't play until they've attended the prerequisite number of meetings!

Sucks to see such an immensely talented player get hurt like that.

Yeah they need to sit in the box for 5 to 10 games so they can see the ice that they are playing on then after that they will get 5 minutes of playing time to get their feet wet and then after that well back to the bench

11am: KO PS3 Black Ops II pointers
Noon: Battle Level Test
1pm: Bailey visibility test (everyone has to try and spot Josh on game film)

3pm: Go home, forget about defensive 'teachings', rinse repeat.

No one has passed this test yet!

Sucks about Tavares... He's an amazing player and a class act. At least the Isl's will get a better first rounder this year... Oh wait...

This just isn't the year for the Islanders... one thing after another. Vanak trade is really coming back to hurt more and more....

Who is this Vanak you speak of? Do you mean Vanek? You profess to be a Sabres fan?
