You got me! I really convinced myself they where on their way up after last year

 

 

me too. I dove back in, watching full games instead of reading recaps, everything.

 

now I only watch because I want to be able to tell my children I saw John Tavares play in Islander uniform.

lol, I'm worried he's gone if they don't fix things after moving to Brooklyn and that would disgust me more than anything I've seen as a fan. I'm friends with somebody directly related to Jimmy Howard and I was lobbying for the islanders. I found out after he resigned it was his second choice cause Capuano and the college connection. I couldn't hate Wang cause he's losing money and did everything in his power to keep the team here, but if they don't start spending now with the Brooklyn move and a legit star waiting I'm done. They do stupid sh*t just to hit the cap floor at the moment and that should have stopped as soon as they got a new arena in place.

That's what I think too. He had this look on this face the other day like, "I signed for how many years?" I think the day Tavares walks because the Islanders can't get their sh*t together is the day I quit. I'll follow him to whatever team he goes to, at this point. This season is nearly lost, they don't have any legitimate defensemen, they show no sign of making any moves (coaching, GM, or trades), almost nobody but the Tavares line scores on any kind of regular basis, and unless they re-sign Vanek, that move is a total waste.

 

I thought they'd turned a corner after last year. But no, same old sh*t. I don't blame Tavares for getting the hell out of dodge as soon as he's able, but it's going to be a really sad day.

Leading the league in scoring. Has the team 14 points ahead of any other team in their division. Probably going to win a few more trophies.

it must be nice to have a player that can't be checked without the other player getting a 500 game suspension. what's that like?

He's been checked plenty. You just have to do it legally. The Penguins are one of the most penalized teams in the game. Stop.

he's actually a great player, I just hate the calls they get, and please, they get so many. nobody gets calls like they do, especially at home.

Friend was sending me pictures from the winter classic family skate around earlier to rub my sh*tty new years in my face and I just looked up the Islanders attendance figures, that game tomorrow is going to match about half of our total for the entire year. The Brooklyn move can't come soon enough

it'd help if they didn't suck. the last two games they've come around. I guess we'll see. John Tavares for Jets QB?

Very true, but that place is like a 3rd world arena and so hard to get to if you're off the Island. John Tavares has already experienced what is like to play for a loser, he'd probably go another direction if he wanted to try the NFL, lol

true. I haven't been to a game since 2006. it's 1 1/2-2 hours + bridge tolls, so it's not like I can just go after work. it'll still take me forever to get to brooklyn, but at least I can do it by train.

nah, Johnny'd be a franchise QB. he's make the Jets good. ;)

Lol, I was hoping they would trade him before the roster freeze. He's obviously the best player on the market but Moulson will also get a first. If they where going go give buffalo that much we should have got Miller. I'm also pissed Quick is starting, Miller deserves it. Start an Olympic hockey thread. I already got hammered assuming I'm off tomorrow due to the fact it's snowing but I gotta wake up in a few hours for the game.

I have this really bad feeling they won't trade him at all and will get nothing for him. I wouldn't put it past them.

 

I don't get to watch enough Olympic hockey to start a thread. games on at 3 AM aren't good for me on work nights. also, I'm rooting for Canada. *ducks*

They gotta trade him, they aren't making the playoffs, he's not resigning and they can't afford to get nothing back after what they gave up. That being said Garth Snow getting zero would be the least surprising thing ever.

that's unfortunate. I woke up after their OT win last Olympics and went on with my life. I'm used to crushing disappointment by hockey teams I care about.

 

ETA: I was rooting for Canada because of USA hockey snubbing Okposo, but I can't keep it up.

Last Olympics was a bitch cause Miller played so out of his mind to get us there, then Crosby who I hate more than anyone in the NHL finishes us. I was running around the bar like a nut hugging everyone as that game was going on, then losing the way we did I was a very sad man. I hate you Cosby

That sounds pretty sad.

 

Crosby might be a great human being and he's attractive and wealthy enough that I'd probably sleep with him if given the opportunity but I can't stand the Jordan treatment. he gets it better than Jordan.

I understand, I was a little disgusted you'd stoop that low at first but then I realized I might sleep with Jordan if given the chance. I just hate the constant crybaby sh*t with him, no denying he's the best but he reminds me of Brady crying for a flag every time he gets touched.
