Dan Petriw: Much Ado About Nothing

If Dal Colle doesn't score a fancy goal in the shoot-out he's probably going to be a bust IMHO

If Josh Ho Sang get's put on a different line during the scrimmage it's probably because of his character issues.

Forget rookie camp...Kabanov, imo, looked better than the other prospects in preseason. It's a shame the work ethic and commitment weren't there, because the speed, talent and especially vision were.

I think Ho Sang is going to be a really good player. I just hope the Islanders see that as well. I mean they did trade to draft him, but to me he is what the doctor ordered for this team

I heard that Dal Colle couldnt shot gun as many beers as some of the other camp invites. Kid is clearly a bust. I think we should look to trade him for a defensemen with 1 year left on his contract

i would have no one to blame but marty reasoner...because he sucked when he was the islanders and certainly instilling as much "suck" as he can on these kids.

A healthy dose of swagger could be nice for organization as a whole, from a hockey and marketing standpoint.

I think the key to Ho Sang is going to be figuring out how to skirt the line between being confident in your abilities but still a team-first guy and being a cocky, me-first kind of player.

He seems very intelligent and well-raised, so I think with the proper guidance he'll be able to figure out how to walk that line the right way.

Reasoner is going to have the AHL guys on a strict "suck" regimen. At least 6 hours of sucking per week.

And for all the ripping I give this organization I think the Islanders are the best team for him to help with that

There was a write-up I came across last year on rookie camp that I had to stop reading once I got to the part where the author was a bit too impressed with the abilities of Dallas Jackson...

sounds like a porn name

did anyone see that poll on twitter last night asking if isles fans would trade Anders Lee straight up for Nick Leddy??

Spoiler Alert: "Yes" won

I'd rather die in a fire.

Doubt I'll get to see the rookie scrimmage, unless it's available later on the isles site to watch late tonight.

this is odd...wikipedia says that dustin penner was signed by the islanders this past tuesday...someone needs to update it

I think all of us are geniuses with the Internet at our fingertips.

Err...I mean...everything I've ever written here has come strictly from the vast knowledge in my head, including game logs and stat lines.

That's pretty extreme. I think I'd rather suffer through another bad Isles trade than die in a fire!
