You can't. If you are a real Isles fan, the Rangers are the worst team in the league. All their current players suck, and all their players they traded where phenoms.

Nah They are a decent team. I will say that the King keeps them afloat and they depend way to much on him. I just think the Rangers have a winning mentality and no matter what find ways to better the team and make the playoffs. They seem to work there butts off while the Islanders some days are non existent in games since they dont have to worry about being punished

I am still waiting for you guys to Rank where the Rangers fall in regards to the Roster and program I would want instead of the Islanders. Where do you put these "Always contenders"? You seem to NOT realize this team gave away EVERYTHING 5 years ago to win it all.. and failed. They are not a Better team now.. they are getting worse every year.

You give them credit for being contenders but when the Isles make the playoffs 3 of the last 4 years and make it to the second round it's a Fluke.

They HAD the best goalie in the league for a long time. They gave up 2 first round picks and their captain for St. Louis to win it all. They gave up 2 huge prospects Duclair, moore and a first round pick for Yandle to win it all and failed. They gave up 2 second round picks for Staal to be the final piece to win it all.. .and failed. They gave up Dubi, Anisimov, Erixson, and a first for Nash to win it all... and failed.

As I said there are a lot of teams in this league you can use as the way a program should be run.... The Rangers are FAAAAAR from the standard. You are comparing them to the friggin Patriots? Are you kidding me?

You are Islander's fans... stop with the..."OOOOH the Rangers are soooo much better than us.." crap. It's friggin idiotic.

John Moore "huge prospect"

While Duclair was thought of that at the time, he can't even score in the minors now. Ask Tampa if they are loving Callahan's contract now.

Could make an argument the picks were the bad giveaway, but literally none of the players they traded were "great" players.

Look I hate Crosby and love jt but Crosby is a better player that's not how I want it to be just how it is. You can tell us all you want about the isles being as well run as the rangers and being so great but if that's the case then why do all the players want to go there and not here?

Gonna be a tough slog for them to make the playoffs this year.

The entire Metro is ridiculous.

Well two of those picks became Beauvillier and Ho-Sang

Thats why I said the "pics could be argued.... "

Keep up Dan, you are slacking.

Exactly that three goalie thing was the stupidest thing I ever hard of. Sometimes it feels he is sabotaging this team. I dont know what the owners see in this clown but he has to be ranked up there with one of the worse GMs ever the ISlanders had

It's not that big of a list.. and they have only had 1 worth mentioning.

They have actually had three. First one being Snow you can go ahead and disagree all you want but an 11 year rebuild with only one playoff round victory against the Panthers to show for it speaks for itself. Also factor in being lucky enough to draft tavares who you think is better than Malkin BUT Snow is clearly not intelligent enough to build around him.
2nd moron Milbury of course.
3rd who was arguably the worst of the three is Maloney who dismantled a team inexplicably that was a legitimate Stanley cup contender.
These three guys above will go down as some of the worst GM's in NHL history. You can disagree that's ok but that is a fact.

I get it. You're a big Islanders fan but when you throw objectivity out the window it diminishes your point.
