Im with you all the way on this... i love the team been a fan since i was a kid but man you cant walk around with orange and blue glasses on drinking snows kool aid .. this team is a mess from management down and i was criticised for suggesting it

Some guys dont want to believe that and feel this team is where it needs to be. They are rebuilding and it takes time. Ok I get that but lets face the facts this team is screwed until we know what is going on with an arena since Wang willd o nothing until then. He is sitting there pouting and saying see no one wants to come here cause you wont give me my arena. I know they tried to Ehroff which I feel was a smoke screen to be honest to make us beleive they were trying. I mean that was the only guy they tried hard for and then we end up with Pandolfo who has not play in the NHL for two years and Rolston who also was int eh AHL last year. See something is not right there, and people will say well he tried

yea but he didnt try, giving up a 2nd rounder for erhoffs rights is not trying especially when you know youd get a 2nd back for flipping him .. it was propaganda then getting pandalfo and rolston was purely done to get to the floor .. snow is gin shy after the smyth fiasco .. not the trade it self but what happened afterwards.. so now snow doesnt trade and he knows players wont come here because this is fantasy land. I always felt players went to the rangers for the pay day they go to detroit to win they stay away from a once model franchise in the islanders because there is too much turmoil and uncertainty here... IT IS WHAT IT IS and Tavares will look amazing in a nordique jersey come 2015

Good morning troops I am smiling cause I predicted the score and the way the game would go yesterday. This team is so predictable.

Ok I think it is now official that Jack Capuano should not sniff the NHL. This guy is horrendous. I mean he really is that bad. I know he is a great guy and he is trying with all his might but if this is him trying man we are in trouble.

Pulling Nabby when the Islanders did not even have possesion must have been one of the biggest bone headed moves I have ever seen. I mean Id ont know maybe Jack does not understand the concept but whatever.

I felt the game was boring and good thing I dvrd the game cause I was almost asleep the first period. Biron kills us always had and I was ripped yesterday for pointing out the obvious. I love this team I reall do but they are notch behind everyone with the worst coach in the league, but we have nothing to worry about Jack will get an extension for 5 years at least after the season

There's nobody to replace Cappy with. He was just hired 13 months ago. They can't keep running through coaches every two years. Replacing Cappy with some other AHL scab for the sake of "change" won't accomplish anything.

good point but snow should be on the hot seat for not doing his work 13 months ago .. the kicking of the ball down the road has to stop no more just getting by and telling the fans what they want to hear

Hey man this is the only place to rip into them unfortunatley. once the do something right I will point out the good. Like Moulson mustache it is growing in real nice
- kasperrko

my point is i can't get upset with this team until i know what direction its going...i never expected the playoffs this year..i never expected any upgrade with our owner who has taken his ball and gone home..i have zero expectations for them since we have an ahl coach and defense...this team has beaten down its fan base so much that the suvivors have become miserable (frank)s...and i refuse to become that miserable (frank)...look i get why you want to scream at the top of your lungs...i'm going to save my breath thats all

this is a blog where people give there opinion a few of us think bailey is busting to tell me to go to sleep over a comment is foolish.
You want to hold his water that fine, you see something no one else does, hats off to you .. you want to sleep with the guy thats your business peaches

you compared him to Tambellini. Tambellini never set foot into the defensive zone. He was flat out awful.

Actually I watch him doing push ups with his shirt off wearing chains..

Merry Christmas gang.. except you tough guy.

And not quite as good as some of the more star-struck fans are saying. I said he's playing better recently. But what I saw in the first 20 games from him was awful. All of last year outside of six or so games at the beginning was awful. A couple of weeks of playing the game like a normal hockey player is not going to make me start comparing Bailey to Dubinsky or anything like that. He has a looong way to go.

I never compared Bailey to Dubi.. I was defending someone that said Bailey was better than Anisimov. I basically said give it time b/c Bailey was rushed..etc. The only people I said were better than dubi was Moulson, Grabner, and Hamonic.

by comparing him its in potential tambi was heralded by a lot of guys on this blog, some people have a habit of thinking all of our prospect/players are top flight , like they thought of tambi and what happened tambi kept a seat warm on the bench for far to long .. he had to go sooner then he did and the same is for bailey he is not working out well for this team, now you drooling over him doing push ups aside maybe its time we move him along before the secret is out and we get nothing for him .. like comeau last season we resign him and waive him.. why we could have packaged him for a pick or something during this offseason ..

Oh boy he sings too?? I bet he did not get one word right

He ripped into me yesterday for saying Biron will beat us and we will lose 5 - 2. I was not that far off as you know. I speak the truth and the truth hurts some times. Our team is just not that good and I dont know why no one can admit to that
- kasperrko

"Ripped into" .. I said.. Kasper get out of here with that negative crap. .. We have been on here for a long time Kasper I don't think I would rip into you.. we were having arguments with a bunch of Ranger trolls and you were siding with them... that was upsetting to say the least.

You know Snow has no clue about packaging guys for players back? What is wrong with you??

sorry dude I just know when I am beaten. I felt the Islanders did not have a dream last night against them. No matter who they throw in net we struggle against. The Rangers are light years ahead of us right now and I am not going to rip into them if I have no legs to stand on and with the Islanders there is really no leg to stand on

The "back to sleep" was intended to say comparing those two doesn't make sense. Tambellini was a guy who could actually score but NEVER played defense and it resulted in a million goals while he was on the ice. He only cared about trying to score, hanging, etc. Schremp did a lot of the same...

Bailey is the opposite.. if you want to sht on Bailey call him Andy Hillbert or someone who has zero points but at least is responsible when he is on the ice. perhaps go back to sleep was aggressive.. but I hated Tambellini. He was a very selfish player who had a ton of goal scoring talent. .. opposite of Bailey.

I am not ready to give up on a 22 year old.. The last 22 year old we gave up on was Bertuzzi.
