Dan Petriw: Isles Roll in Montreal

Nelson & Strome are going to be really good. I also like the play of Mayfield

Dan's pulling the Reverse Howie Rose today. Impressive maneuver.

New Blog yeah

Since he was called up the first time, Strome's play away from the puck was better than I thought it'd be. The points will come, and he's starting to show some good playmaking ability, but it's been good to see his commitment to the not-so-flashy part of hockey.

I personally think next year the Isles 3rd line should be;

Lee-Nelson-Strome

they have been together in Bport & should be together in the NHL gaining experience and also having no pressure.
The most successful teams slowly groom their kids and then eventually promote them in time. Isles should try to load up the top 6 and leave a 3rd line of kids....

Just my .2

Word around the campfire is that #isles coaching might stick around with a short Philly-like leash for next season

Nelson wasn't there with Lee and Strome...he actually played a lot with Nino last year. But I agree on having that as a third line next year. I'd move Strome to center and Nelson to wing though, as Nelson's more of a shooter. I like the idea of Strome distributing the puck to two wingers who like to shoot and crash the net.

Hopefully that's just a ghost story meant to scare young Islanders fans.

I posted this in the other blog

From Botta's Article

News from New York, Part II: Islanders sale talks continue

Negotiations continue in the potential sale of the New York Islanders from owner Charles Wang to Andrew Barroway. According to a person who was invited to join Barroway’s ownership group as a minority investor, the total valuation of the Islanders has been outlined as being $370 million — broken down as $100 million in cash/equity, $125 million in senior notes, $85 million in seller paper, and $60 million in preferred equity.

A league source said Wang continues to discuss a sale with Barroway only, with no other serious bids having been formally taken to Wang yet.

Howard Dolgon, a Long Island resident who owns the AHL Syracuse Crunch, is interested, according to a separate source, but he has yet to line up partners and make a bid.

From 1992 to 2008, Barroway was a partner in the law firm Schiffren Barroway, based in Radnor, Pa. His focus was on securities fraud claims brought against public companies. One of those claims, in 1998, was against Computer Associates, a company co-founded by Wang. Barroway was the lead plaintiff in a class-action suit that was settled in 2003.

Sadly this would not be a surprise. What about Snow's leash? This is the guy who hired Cappy.

Well, it was in reference to writing for the Rangers, so in a sense I guess it is.

Not sure but like you said it would not be surprising at all. Especially if Wang is really gonna sell the team

This would be beyond dumb. Keeping Cappy is akin to taking deliberate steps to make your team suck.

The NY Islanders have agreed on a 1 year contract extension with Head Coach Jack Capuano
There you have it.

Neither one of them should be on any leash. They should both be handed pink slips
