This'll be my second. Female German Shepherd and, of course, the wife who has to put up with me.
Btw...I used the phrase "willy nilly" twice. That should have been a dead giveaway on my age.

The #Isles, however, may have a timetable to get Boyle signed. Could look to move his rights if there's no decision in next 7-10 days.

Have to think Boyle has had enough time to decide by now? Isles do need a decision pretty soon.

Would be surprised if #Isles sale announcement comes soon. Let's define "soon" as before July 4th. Deal not done.

Our Coach and his "System" which he called out often when the Isles played poor defense(frequently) or blew late leads, cost the team 7-10 games, easily.

The biggest problem with this team(that could be corrected) starts & ends with Cappy.
Garth is second but equally as damaging for his reluctance to do so. Together, they are scaring away players single-handedly. The outdated arena is not the issue. It's the people these players would have to work for. THey have no respect for either because, frankly, they don;t deserve it.

What Vaingault did with the Rangers is proof positive of what the right coach can accomplish.

This argument would hold water if this wasnt going on YEARS before Snow, Cappy, or Wang even got here. Im not saying they are faultless.. but Players havent wanted to play on the Island for a VERY long time. Linden didnt want to be here, Wendel Clarke didnt want to be here, Steve Yzerman didnt want to be here.. as we know Kirk Muller didnt want to be here. Since the current regimen wasn't even part of the organization at the time, what else is there that could have been the issue? it wasnt YEARS of losing, because well we were only about a decade removed from a dynasty... The Building.. its lack of amenities, its smell, its crappy ice surface has A LOT bigger impact them you seem to understand.

According to IPB, Craig Carton mentioned the sale is done and would be announced after the finals. This story continues to be all over the map.

I feel like if he was selling it would be done already. I think Wang wants to wait a year and see what happens in BK before selling.

Well, this does at least to appear that he's giving it some consideration, which is good news. Had it been a 'hell no' he would have told us right away.

That said, if he still tells us 'no' after wasting a considerable amount of time between now and his free agency, the guy should be prepared for a lot of venom from this fanbase...especially if he ends up in our division.

No way you just used this dingbat as a source for a hockey related story. An Islanders hockey related story.

I am actually hoping we trade him and maybe get something back in return. Maybe make a little package deal

Didn't Staple just say a couple days ago that Snow would know by the end of the week? Maybe Boyle is kicking the tires a bit?

It's not as if Carton was the only time we've heard it's done. We need to get these finals over with to find out for sure.
