Now that is a little absurd.. .busiest arena in the country? How many Disney on ice and Truck shows do you think there are in a year?

Exactly they can have the circus for a week instead of two days.. And so on.

Did I ever ask you if you knew the Buckmirs?

Not sure how it would go out the window. YOu are in Brooklyn for at least the 3 years it takes to rebuild the Coliseum.. and it's not like you will lose those fans. As I said I think it will end up being both Arenas for a while with Barclays being the main one (as contracted)... and then over the course of a few years switch the other way as the Barclays is NOT made for hockey.

As long is it is built to make money for the team I could give a rats ass if the scoreboard was outside and my seats were pointed to the ceiling

But the trains are all from Mineola, correct?

You'd switch at Jamaica to go to Atlantic Ave terminal.

I think it makes sense. Team on the rise, talent-wise. Brand spanking new arena in NYC. They have value.

"Last night was one of those games where I would have been fine, regardless of the outcome. The Islanders were flying, generating scoring chances, and moving their feet the entire night. We all know this team is not going undefeated, but I for one can live with losing games if I’m seeing the effort that the Isles are displaying on a nightly basis"

Well said Dan and good blog. I do believe Grabovski will be out for an extended period of time though. If it's not a concussion(which I'm still saying it is)then I'm going to say bruised/broken ribs by the way he was skating off(which was positive). Either way I see him needing some time.

Isn't he the same flagpole that played for buffalo?

This will elicit some good responses.

You ask about strome I think he had been great this year. Strome is part of the winning formula that beyond just stats that's hard to explain. Look no further to isles record even last year when strome in or out of lineup. It's shocking

As for yapokuv. Highly doubt it. For one we have too many fowards. Also as the saying goes if it ain't broke, why try to fix it. We are 4-0.


Finally I want lee her as much as all of you. But don't disagree with give Colin one game to prove he belongs vs his old team. He should bring good energy. His problem is it wears off after few games.

And enough with splitting hairs. Martin and clutterbuck are being effective. 98% of the team on fire, it's ok of they just ok. They will have there games.
Isles are highest scoring offense in NHL and have 4 guys in top 10 in points.

If Grabovski goes on IR they should call up Lee. If he is out for just a game or two I guess you can just use that stiff McDonald

So you're saying they should call up Lee?
