I have to agree. I think he's far and away the best dman on our team, but that's not saying much. I think pairing him with AMac is poison at this stage. That first goal was a disgrace for both of them (including Frans) as all three stood and watched Greenig get multiple pokes at the puck as DP tried to cover it. It seems like neither one is real aware of the other as they both have gotten caught behind the net together on more than a few occasions lately.

You will have no problem moving Hammy. He gets stuck with AMac, plays against the #1 line every night, hardly his fault.... He will be easy to move.

If he trades Striet, he needs to get something back to get them to the Cap floor again..Unless someone is getting a raise,,,, maybe DP??
- bixll

No he doesn't. That was the point of the Thomas trade.

might as well continue on the bashing train....

....hamonic has NOT been great; hes average at best right now. i may be because he is being overused but he has had a decent season so far...
- LetsGoIsles

and i think Amac is killing him as well...

i'm not in no way defending rdp...valid point but enough with the woe is me poop they have play in front of dozens of poopty goalies the past 4 years.the likes of lawson, maninno, danis, biron, and more .they are paid professionals..suck it up..tighten up and play better in front of him
- NYI78

not exactly a line up of future hall of famers...

for argument sake, how many of these guys are starters? backup?

No way in hell I'd move him. He's one of the best players we have and one of the only one's who brings it each night. I'm more concerned about his play from a mental perspective. We don't have any responsible dmen to teach him.

Hamonic is the least of their worries. He is still young and learning. He is a horse and will be for the next 12 plus years

Okay...throw your predictions out there....How many more games does Cappy last?

agreed...the problem is that horse may be developing some bad positional tendancies and we have a coaching staff that knows NOTHING about defensive play. We have no one on the ice that can give him a good example. I'm afraid we could watch him regress.

He'll be fine

What, STILL no comment from our "GM" or "Owner"?!?


Really?

I am hoping none but since this is the Islanders I say the rest of the year

end of season then he is gone

What, STILL no comment from our "GM" or "Owner"?!?


Really?
- Mancalledsting

they think the Islanders are playing great!! It is a great team out there

end of season then he is gone
- Vukota

Exactly they will blame the lock out for them doing so bad

What, STILL no comment from our "GM" or "Owner"?!?


Really?
- Mancalledsting

they don't have to explain anything to us. they know everything

they think the Islanders are playing great!! It is a great team out there
- kasperrko

Have you seen the kids?

As bad as they have been they are only 4 points out of a playoff spot. If Wang spent a little money they could be in the playoffs

He'll be fine
- Vukota

It's a leap of faith for a team that has a terrible track record in developing it's players. My point is, I don't think he's played that great so far this season and a lot of that is on his pairing with AMac. I'd change that FAST before things get worse.
We've seen plenty of kids show good promise but go straight to hell while playing for this team. I think Hamonic is definitely a keeper and maybe even an all star dman someday, if any team can screw that up....

Have you seen the kids?
- Vukota

Yeah they are awesome too. We are on our way

I have a funny feeling they will be sending DP down today.

And then this will happen:

I have a funny feeling they will be sending DP down today.
- niteislander

based on his reaction on the bench when they showed him with his head in his hands with a few seconds to go in the game, it seemed like DP knew his job is on the line and he failed....

I have a funny feeling they will be sending DP down today.
- niteislander

If this happens I will be the happiest fan in the world and they canlose for the rest of the year and I will not care. This will be our Stanley Cup moment

I have a funny feeling they will be sending DP down today.
- niteislander

Could happen...and Gallof, Staple, Dee, Botta and the rest of the "so called" writers that cover this will make a big deal about it...how hard he works..blah...blah...blah..just dump the guy and end it...

He is just too slow now... never going to get back to being a top tier goalie. Cut ties..
