Ben Shelley: Where will the Islanders finish within the Metropolitan Division?

Team is really good. Forget about John Tonelli.

Recent history has proven they can lead the division at some point but not sustain. Recent history is that they find themselves late jockeying for one of the lower seeds. Recent history has proven they have played well in the po's but have not advanced past third round. Recent history is they have been a good challenge to the eventual SC Champ.

Tell us, without gifs, where do you think the Isles will finish?

Hearing the New York Islanders and Ryan Pulock have agreed to an 8 year extension. Just under $50 million total.

Yes! That’s great Upstate!

Wow. Just over $6 mil a year. That’s insane.

Isn't that what Boychuk got when he signed here? Crazy good deal.

Pelech and pulock are considered one of the best pairs in the league and are both signed long term for 12 million. Insane and Chara, greene and possibly Parise will be gone next year and Dobson is the main guy to sign with 12 million in cap space so they have a lot of options and a chance to be a top team for years to come

Take note Snowtard. this is how a REAL GM runs a team. Not that Snow will ever get another GM gig.

Very nice to have Pelech and Pulock locked up. If Salo and Bolduc work out it will help the Cap even more.

John Tonelli for HOF

In a couple years we could be looking at a top-4 of Pelech/Pulock and Salo/Dobson with Bolduc mixed in there somewhere

#2 in Metro Division

Amazing how good Lou has gotten since the summer of shat signings and trades. I mean the NHL past him by long ago, so do you think Snow Balls is pulling the strings behind the scenes?

#2 in Metro Division

Hope you’re right I would gladly take that position the way we’ve finished in the regular season the last couple of years. Interested how this crew does over an 82 game non shortened reg season.

I'm so intrigued to see the Spotlight Suites (guy that gave us the tour kept referring to them as "bunker boxes"). Not that I plan on buying a suite anytime soon, but I'd love to just see what they're like

I can't wait for opening night

edit:

We have paint:

Tough season opener tonight for sure. They have to weather the first 10 minutes and then just settle in
