Long Island Railroad access from the east is HUGE. The biggest long-term problem with NVMC was the utter lack of mass transit.

Yep, it wasn't going to be worth much without it. It would take people hours to get home if they had to go to Jamaica first then transfer trains to go east. The trains are slow that time of night already since they make all the local stops.

Who knows what they're thinking. The team doesn't look good so far. Do you expect the team as it currently stands to duplicate last year?
- JimmyP


Bro it's the same team as last year minus LEHNER add Varlamov

This team was in 1st place for like 2 months

Minus Flippula also. Maybe we see some maturing and improvement with Beau(honestly don’t see it but I hope), pulock, toews, etc. but as we sit now we don’t have a third line center. I’m assuming the plan is fritz which I’m a bit uneasy about and our offense is still the same as last year which as we all know is not good. In other words I hope we add some help before the start of the season...

We would be franked... but not as cranked as CBJ

Here's a list of who is still available. If we need a 3C with a little attitude, there's always Micheal Haley.

So two rubber snakes landing five feet away from him has gotten you this upset? Wow, you must have a rough life I would be literally embarrassed to tell people that upset me.

No. The reaction for him getting deservedly booed by his former team’s fans is what Islander fans and all hockey fans everywhere find hysterical. Then the gross overreaction by creating a day for him because he got his feigned feelings hurt soon after made it extra cringe worthy. That’s what happened let’s not split hairs.

Well as of now we have a statistically worse goaltender, the same pp coach, and a seemingly far worse third line center so not all is good in the world as of yet😂

It's just funny to me Leaf fans got ripped for that more than the way Isles fans acted with Tavares.
"Deservedly Booed"? He left as a UFA. LOL. And his Jersey was burned, he was sworn at and had things thrown at him.

Leafs fans cheered him. oh my god the horror!

So Matt Martin also left the Islanders for Toronto as a free agent, and what happened? He was cheered when he returned to the Island. Why? Because he left for a much better contract than the Islanders offered him, so Islander fans understood completely.

But when Pajama Boy left, he took less money than the Islanders offered him which is a not-too-subtle phukk you to the Islander fanbase, in effect saying "you and your support over the years means nothing to me. I'd rather take less money just to leave town."

I don't really think it could be any more obvious. Good luck with him.

Why is everyone arguing with rogerroeper the fat pole smoker? Leafs fans will never understand him saying he wants to play here his entire career is what pissed people off because he left the way he did. If he handled it like panarin did he would probably be cheered when he returned. I'm over it he left it's a sport life goes on

I don’t think anyone isn’t over tavares at this point. Us reading this guys embarrassingly terrible posts and laughing at him doesn’t mean we’re not over Tavares I can give a rats arse about him. Roger is just upset because tavares got “sworn” at😂

Or is it that he's a bnottom 6 forward that does not make a difference? Apples and oranges. No fans get upset at plugs who leave.,

Nobody likes him over on his own thread and he’s pretty entertaining even though it’s not intentional. I vote to have him stay. Not sure if it’s because I feel bad for him or he’s so damn dumb he’s funny?

That’s the hypocrisy of most Leaf fans. It’s their whole demographic. They blow it off as “well it’s online doesn’t count.” Hysterical. Reimers wife started a foundation to prevent bullying because of it😂😂😂
Bruins players and family’s threatened.

Classy
