Nice W last night fellows.

The Isles slide into the 8th playoff spot, very well done.

Anders F-ing Lee. Awesome first game. Team's rolling. Gotta keep it going in WSH.

Anders Lee did a spectacular job in his first game but we can see how he is awkward at defense since it is his first game at PRO. He will get used to it in next few games unless we only see him for six games so his contract wont be used for this year until next year. Let's go Islanders!

My bad, you are. Better?

Games in hand have to be won to be meaningful. Right now, one of the rag$ two games in hand is a game against Pittsburgh.

They'va actually got 2 against Pittsburgh. Back to back this week.

Well good luck. I hope they are, go under dogs.

Game had nice story lines: Lee's first game and Poulin's first victory this year. Thought he looked more ready than he did in the CAR game.

As far as Streit, if they can make a package to pry Subban from BOS; but would not want to surrender any top prospects.

Now is the time to trade for Haley. Boulton and a fifth? Would love to have the kid back for a playoff series vs the Pens

after all the drama with michael haley last season..he would not be back here unless he totally cleaned his life up

the reason haley was buried in bport was his substance abuse issues and his refusal or denial about it and not getting any treatment

Is there a source for this or is it another "friend of a friend of a trainer's daughter's former babysitter thought she saw DP use steroids" thing.

this is from a couple of players in the locker room who called them haleys' demons. i then reached out to a friend who worked with Ryan O'marra when he was going through the same thing in bport and he confirmed it. I'm sorry i thought this was widely known. its no secret down here

I got to talk to the Lee family after the first intermission. What a great family.

It was uncomfortable watching Peter Ruttgazer (sp?) interview them during the game. It was pretty clear he was starting to lose it about halfway through.

TSN: Dreger also tweeted that Islanders GM Garth Snow has no intention of trading defenceman Mark Streit because there is just a $500,000 gap per year (3 years) in contract talks with his captain.

Three years of Streit...

Bad move. My guess is it'll be another Witt situation...a year or two in we'll be begging for a buyout.

Unreal 3 years for this guy? It's after 9 wake up NHL GM's start trading.

Saw that. Great journalist that he is he ran out of things to ask after two questions, then just sat there awkwardly when he wasn't pulling the mic away from the mother when she tried to say something. Uncomfortable to say the least. And I thought the guy was awful in the studio.

The Flyers have unveiled seven new statues at their building: Parent, Clarke, the Stanley Cup, and four of their current defensemen.

Aside from all the positives already mentioned, Carkner played a lot in the 3rd period mast night...and actually looked pretty damn good. Hopefully this is something that can continue down the stretch.
It was nice to see a one-goal lead in the 3rd and us continue to control the flow of play. There wasn't one time in the 3rd where I didn't think we were gonna finish the Jets off. It was a refreshing feeling.

i'm ok with three years.. reinhart pedan mayfield etc are at least two years away from taking a regular shift. Donovan is close/ready for a look and de haan if healthy could be a call up next season..
