Good news. Islanders playing at Caps tonight. Todd's matchups usually work better for us than Barrys do.

“ I’ve said this before, but players need to either get in the way of the shot or get out of the way altogether”

Ben did you go to the Doug Weight School Of Non Defense ?

Kadri with two goals and a beast in the playoffs. Leaf fans will still say that trade was the right thing to do. He’s exactly what that team lacks.

I hope Clutter plays. Along with Pelech and Cizikas, he's one of the keys to the offense.

This site needs a mute button so u can mute someone and never see their endless drivel. It would make it a much more enjoyable experience

Just thinking back to Wang and his project using his own money to redo the NVMC and they poop canned it and how many years and money spent later are they dealing with an irrelevant Arena and still “talking” about developement. How much tax revenue and jobs would Nassau have gotten and lost now because of the politics and the politicians’ ineptitude. Just a total (frank)ing joke.

I got 1000 calls from DC before that vote. "you really want to give a billionaire a $400 million dollar arena.?"

To be fair Wang's original proposal was kind of ridiculous. The revised one was better. It would have put some nice things in the area.

I'm glad that nutbag isn't running the Isles anymore.

How about the Billionaire giving the county 350 billion dollars to renovate their Arena that was inadequate for years and for this wanted the development rights on the same property. So he fixes your shat hole for 350 billion of his own money but can’t develop or make money doing this. Just makes no sense. The project would have been done. It would have produces 100’s of jobs during a recession and it gets voted down.

An absolute joke. Nassau County should be embarrassed that the site is still a shat show. I hope Belmont opening drives the old NVMC into bankruptcy and turned into another (frank)ing shopping mall.

Oh yeah his original proposal asked for a lot but that was for negotiations and you settle for less. But NC wouldn’t have approved anything at that point because of politics.

Yeah, I’m glad he bought them and kept them here but other than that he was a hands on owner that would have been a better absentee owner. Who should of hired a President of Hockey Ops. and let the hockey decisions be made by him or her.
Maybe then we wouldn’t have had 10 years of Snow and the team becoming a laughing stock.
I’m so happy with M and L and the people they placed in power and how much the Organization has progressed and in turn gotten positive results on the ice.
The Belmont USB Arena is the final step to A total transformation back to respect.
Now we just need to get that 5th cup.

I find it very interesting how u just happened show up when Toronto was booted. I mean it's almost like you were that Toronto nit wit who was in here all the time until he didn't have the courage to come back after trolling us for so long once his team was eliminated. All the sudden you appear as an "Islander's fan" who thinks Barzal is not a 1C, JG Pageau makes way too much money, the isles losing their best defense-man had nothing to do with them losing a lot of games right after he got hurt. .... it's almost like you are either the dumbest person on the planet.. or just trying to troll everyone with a new log on b/c u don't have the ballz to be yourself.

I notice you changed your location too.. odd. keep an eye in the air today. You should see a banner saying "Let's go Islanders" flying around your neighborhood.

(you were correct on the goals scored in the Carolina series.. congrats on that.. but you were wrong on everything else including the 2 games were blow outs. I guess you didn't watch any of those games.. odd... for an Isles fan).

JG Pageau 8 playoff games so far... 4 goals, 2 assists and +6. Not bad for a guy who is on the 3rd line and kills penalties. #overpaid .. lol

He did a lot of good in his time on the Island for sure iMO. Saved the Isles from moving, saved St. Dominick's HS, gave tons of money to hospitals..etc. I am certainly glad we have the new ownership, and all that comes with it.. but I don't hate Wang for what he did.. he was in way over his head for sure... (so was snow).

No, he wasn't all bad and I do credit him for keeping the Islanders here. However, they were never going to be a successful team with him as owner.
