Well hopefully you can get Bettman to cancel the series before we embarrass ourselves
As for the 1993 Isles, talentwise I'd say we're comparable. The 1993 Isles weren't supposed to go anywhere. Players played miles above their heads (Healey etc). That's what made that team so special.

They played great. Its a painful memory..Healey was out of his mind.

You know, I just realized I have NEVER seen you post without adding at least one exclamation point (!!!!) You should try some decaf sometime.

WOW. Really?

Turgeon Thomas Hogue and JT Moulson and Boyes? REALLY?

Healy and Fitz / Nabby and Poulin? REALLY?

Ferraro / King / McInnis / Mullen / Delgarno

KO / Bailey / Martin / Nielsen / WHO...Aucoin?

REALLY?

I've heard a lot of crazy things on this board but comparing this team to the '93 Isles is absolutely insane.

Unfortunately for you, the Islanders won't be playing Dallas. 13 points in last 10 games for the Pens.

And yet they're STILL going to play! Wtf?

NHLN said the third game is Sunday at noon so that would be our first home game. I don't think it's posted anywhere yet.

Healey vs Nabby... I'm taking Nabby... REALLY
JT vs Turgeon, I like JT....REALLY ( and Turgeon is one of my favs)
funny how you left out Grabner. I don't think theres as huge of a difference as you'd believe. We' ll always put that team on a pedestal and rightfully so, but they weren't elite in terms of talent.

Funny how I also left out the Captain of the 93 Isles who played pretty well that year.

There's not even close to being a comparison between the two.

Healy/Fitz are better than Nabby/Poulin all day long.

The first lines shouldn't even be mentioned in the same conversation.

The support is not even in the same league.

There is no comparison.

Coach - Arbour/Cappy - No comparison.

Isles shouldn't even show up!!!

Pen's are just too powerful!!!


I love being the ultimate underdog.... nothing to lose!!!

Nobody expects us to win!!!

I agree the 93 team is better than our current team right now.

Bur Healy is not a great goalie!!!

Nabby is better!!!

Is it bad... that I don't like Healy?

In reality PA's shadow is far more impressive than PA himself.
He's certainly better than Boyes, but we should have done better than both this year.

- keaner17



I wont argue this point at all.

Boyes is a complete downgrade from PAP, but yes.. there should have been an Upgrade.

Nabby is better than Healy.

The combo of Nabby and Poulin SUCKS compared to Healy and Fitz.

When you have a 37 in net, it's nice to have a backup that can win a game or two. Mark Fitzpatrick was a decent backup that could win.

I agree Poulin is awful. But maybe he surprises and steals a game?
