It would be nice but I think what you see with Barzy thus far is what you'll always get. He's a bit of a hot dog who takes chances, trying to create space and opportunities. Sort of Brett Favre-like in the gunslinger mentality where he will create 5-7 good chances, but also give away 2-3 good chances. The pros typically outweigh the cons, but I don't think he'll ever become a careful puck possession kinda guy.

Yeah unfortunately it’s a mentality that needs to change and that’s not always so easy the older the player gets. Kudos to Barry for trying hard to change this for Barzy’s and of course the teams benefit.

He's just a clown who hates the Islanders. He constantly writes garbage about them and usually at the exact time where Morons who don't know any better read it.. I hate the guy.

We are moving to Kansas city... Larry
We are moving to Quebec ... Larry..
All the players hate living in Long Island.. Larry

https://nhl.nbcsports.com...a-new-one/comment-page-1/ He has forever typed sht about the Islanders that make it harder to get players b/c they actually read his crap..

so you constantly putting him on an Islander's thread with.. "Hey look what Larry says about us" is maddening... Fck Larry Brooks. He has never once been right on the Isles and he is still annoyed they ruined his youth.

There is no news coming out of Lou so you need to go to other sources. You are so obsessed over the Rangers. Focus on the Islanders. Larry wrote plenty of nice articles about the Islanders long playoff runs. The Islanders were lousy for years before Lou and you expect nice articles? The Islanders not being able to sign quality UFA's is on the Islanders not the press.

I’ll need to hire a bodyguard first. I saw plenty of nice articles from various writers during the Isles long playoff runs and you know who mentioned more than once how the Rangers needed to get playoff tough like the Islanders. The Isles were lousy for many years and it’s silly to expect glowing articles. Lou is an all time great GM. He does not need the praise of the press to be able to do his job.

I mean it's the same guy who complains every year about the Isles schedule and how the league is out to get them

Just don’t read the article. You know it’s not going to be positive for the Islanders or their fans. That said you can’t kill someone on here for posting it. Fans want to read about their teams.

Yup.
Hearing that on Ottawa radio at this moment.
They're wondering who or why the Isles would even consider this for Miller. And if they are....lets get in on the action. I was just shaking my head.

I read the article quickly, but was he really saying that Miller would cost the Islanders Dobson, a roster forward/prospect and a first round pick????????

Who was the author? Larry Brooks????

I think Lou offered Dobson but they wanted sOrOkin too and that killed the deal.
