Love the hit by Dell. Bath got a little to close. Play with fire you get burned. It’s not on Dell to move out of Batherson’s way. He’s a player on the ice as well.

So if this happens to Tuch, Dahlin you just say, well shouldve done better.


it was inexcusable by Dell and there is a reason why no other goalie does that.

Sorry all. i just heard McD talk in presser. Thought he said it was Dawson. Man alive. I can't help to think it was fentanyl. Somebody is trying to thin out a generation of Americans.

Here's a 3 minute video of modern goalies laying the body when players get to close for comfort. They have a right to defend themselves.

1:50 Carey makes the same play as Dell and lays the boom to a NYR player that skates in his path. Bush League some would say here... From an all-world goalie

He brought character, I'll give him that.

If Batherson doesn't get hurt. Nobody has a problem with that play.

Yes its a garbage play because the unwritten rule of you cant touch the goalie regardless of where on the ice.
.

Also i love how your video of most goalies DEFENDING THE CREASE, except for Aaron Dell.

I get it you have a massive love affair with Dell.

ya know, for such an old team, the islanders have an extraordinary amount of homegrown players. Of their 21 current players, only Clutterbuck, JPG, Parise, Palmieri, Romanov and Varlamov are imports. By comparison, the Caps and Pens, similarly aged teams, only their best players are homegrown.

I think it comes down to more people trusting Steve Yzerman combined with his free agency haul that gets everyone's rockets so hard. I'd contend that the Sabres should have similar markings in many of those categories. Not free agency. They had the same rank last year yet there's still the exact same amount of confidence. So. Ya know. That's like your opinion man.

Having guys like Moritz Seider and Lucas Raymond come on hard helps the ranking.

Price was behind his net... Best goalie in the last how many years makes the same play and you cannot defend it

Don't want to tell anyone how to live, but if you are getting the Booster Shots or have family about to. Keep a eye on that person, something not right with the Booster for certain people.

Not that Donnie isn't a nice guy, but choosing a Captain is normally the decision of the Coach
- IonSabres


I think this is an organizational decision that isn't being made without Terry's approval. Donnie does not have Lindy's power.

Would be a strange look to wait until Okposo's final year to name him C. Suspect it would go hand-in-hand with an extension, if it's him.
