I love how Isles fans are already cocky about a team that has been a disgrace for years; CHILL. Snow w and/or the Hockey Gods will soon find a way to screw up your season. We're all waiting.

Yeah. We are cocky. OK. Thanks half wit

Not saying this would ever happen...but a trade for Edm to get a guy like Chara would clean up leadership issues and defensive issues quickly..

Where was anyone being cocky? Seriously.

Luke, Leia, and Han are back. Has to be good.

and chara's declining...I don't think that helps the oilers.

If Isles upgrade again; wow...off season + big trade could make this team into more than a bubble team.

dare i say it? HOME ICE?~

No where. Typical bitter Sabres fan with nothing to back anything up.

Isles need to take their time. No real need to make a deal now. I would still like to see Lee get a shot on the number #1 line.
- ses111

I'd like to see Lee there as well.

For sure he isnt what he once was..but better than what they have..and would kick some ass in that dressing room

Yeah, definitely not a bubble team, if anything there is a good chance they take 1st in the metro with the way the Pens injuries are piling up and how well the Islanders have been playing this season. Even though I'm a Pens fan, I'm happy to see them do well, I'm a huge Tavares fan.

Isles have 2 of their top 4 D-men out and somehow just won 3 games in a row... again.. amazing what a goaltender does for a team.

Have not heard one Isles fan talking Cup. Winning a playoff round or two would be great. That would be a very good season.

but for how long? they need someone with gas left in the tank.

I dont think it matters. With the hype and expectation, no star wars fan is going to be satisfied. Doesnt matter who the director is, who the actors are, or how much money they spend. Going to be one of those films that most true fans will just have to take with a grain of salt and groan afterwards, like episode 1.

Im sure the entertainment value for those that are not so critical will be fantastic though.
- dothedougie

I think the hype has been effectilvely shattered with the new saga of 1999, 2002 and 2005... So this might be surprisingly good... since our hopes are not that high...

It's beyond just the goaltender. The team and especially the forwards are playing D this year.

Yeah and no one even said that. No where in this thread was anyone "cocky". Guy is just spouting off like the know nothing he is. I'd be bitter to if I wee a Sabre fan. Just good enough to miss McDavid and our pick will be a high one. Sad time for those guys.

I know you guys are rank 2 right now; I'm digging it

but tons of games left!
- Lucas Neilson

Isles fan base... We are Cautiously optimistic.. nothing more .. nothing less.

Nice to finally have a golie though.. did I say that yet?

Um. They have 3 of their top D men out. Get it straight

Is the rumored trade really only Rienhart for Eberle? Doesn't seem at all like Rienhart alone could get Eberle?
- RobitailleFAN20

I am guessing Bailey too... I am ok with that by the way.

Not having 1.5 soft goals a game certainly helps..especially since we have won 8 in OT and SO and another 5 by 1 goal.

Listen if you just rooted for your team to lose every game year in and year out and had to root for other teams to lose night in and night out you would be salty too.
