God I wish there were still archives from those boards.Yeah, the Jim variations were great. Then there was OldPuckVintage or "OPV" who swore he was a millionaire genius African American from Toronto living in Florida. That guy could turn nuts on a dime. It was definitely the wild wild west

"Pol321" had an alias, "makku". Had us all fooled.

Yeah, I think those old boards are gone forever. I don't think they can be retrieved using the wayback machine either.

Chara has looked much better of late, part of me thinks at his age it just took him longer to get in shape and I think green has been fine as well. Dobson has made some gaffes but aho isn't a viable option. I think Lou is holding on and hoping they get it together to accrue as much cap space as possible to add a dman and hopefully a higher end forward. With their cap situation they can go for a Ufa similar to what they did with pageau

Yeah, I've tried. For a while you could look some of it up, but that was several years ago. I was always surprised more from our board didn't come over here. I know a few had memberships here.

I see the Tarasenko rumors have resurfaced

Well, it took me quite a few years to get here, so there's always hope. I bounced around some Islander chat rooms, thought about Hockey's Future, but eventually ended up here. I read the posts here from time to time, but ultimately I was won over by kencan.

Lol...kencan was amazing here. I had an account with HOF boards but i was already moonlighting here before the Yahoo boards went belly up so i knew a few peoole here. Most are gone from here now....

The most epic day on this site.

I see the Tarasenko rumors have resurfaced
- keaner17

I'd love the guy on this team he can help the pp and top line but it probably won't happen.

Regarding Aho, I realize he’s played in the NHL, but it’s been a while. Anyone remember Barzal’s first NHL gsme!? Gets a penalty, about to step out of the box and plays the puck from the box…stays in the box to serve another penalty. 😂😂

Not sure when, but gotta give Aho another shot? Need a 7th dman who can give guys a rest. Prob playing him against the Boltz wasn’t the best time to give him a spin. Fire Barry.

Honestly the entire team hasn’t been good. Gotta get the win tonight and reset for the homestand.

Looking forward to a day with BlueTaco. Thanks

Hellfire shall rain down upon you for saying such a thing.

So I did a little reading on the Blues boards. He doesn't post a lot on their boards. Apparently, his own people don't care for him too much either. RangerDanger called him BlueWaffle.
Let's see what asinine trade offer he comes up with today.

The Islanders are willing to up their offer to Andong Song, Ryan Pilon, and a conditional 1st round pick (top-32 protected) for Tarasenko

Andong Song. Now you're just making up names.
Who else you want to throw in? Sum Ting Wong? Wee Tu Lo? Ow Dat Hirt?

Racist bastard.

Excellent pick. This may be the time to bring him into the fold.

You guys sound like our board now. Some of your people gonna be taking breaks etc. It is still pretty volatile in our thread most of the time.

Try not to get too down on your team. I doubt this is how the Isles are going to shake out for the season.

Yes, I know. It was for comedic effect. Those that know the names I posted get the joke.

Can he pass? That's our only prerequisite

I think most would agree they'll find their stride but there is legit question as to whether they can take the next step. We'll see
