WTF? I walk away from the Internet for one lousy night to see a Dave Matthews concert and I miss another FA signing?

HEY! Islanders! Where the hell are my NYI Mobile Text alerts that I signed up for? I'm guessing THIS piece of information would have been worth the text message cost!

How many goalies do we need? Okay, gargantuan prospects need time to develop, but we seem to be stockpiling them like canned goods for Armagedon. This is all giving credence to the rumor that Rick DiPietro still has issues. Okay, maybe it's not just "issues," maybe it's more like a full subscription.

Martin Biron, who signed a one-year deal last night with the Islanders will be 32 on August 15th. Dwayne Roloson will be 40 on October 12th. Add that to Rick's 28 years, and we have 100 years worth of Goalies in just the top three. (And oddly, I don't see Nathan Lawson's name on the Islanders' website this morning. hmmmmmmmm)

So whether newlywed DiPietro is taking a very EXTENDED Honeymoon to Fiji and won't be back by training camp, or whether PointBlank (and a few others who have yapped at me) is correct; it's obvious Mr. Snow is taking out some flight insurance for the new season.

I guess that night last season where the Isles were down to seeing Mike Dunham sitting in the dressing room, rocking nervously, half dressed waiting to be called out onto the ice really got to them. Garth isn't taking any chances.

"Ricky just lost his number -- We had to call somebody else..."

uggghhh... now that stupid song is stuck in my head!
