Islanders visit Washington lets keep the streak alive 5 in a row baby! I just came from Iceworks and I saw Chris Simon and Bruno Gervais skating. Ted Nolan was there also coaching them. On my way out to the car I saw Richard park get into his car (he PARKed next to me lol) He waved at me and I waved back, I also saw AAron Johnson waiting at the light and I gave him the thumbs up! Bruno seemed to skate pretty well but I doubt he'll play; and could Simon be back for the Tampa game? We shall see... Edit.... Sutton out for a few weeks. Drew Fata called up to replace. http://forum.connpost.com/soundinoff/ |

And this is where our defense really begins to struggle. We need at least 3 goals to have a chance in this one. |

"Begins"? It's been a struggle all year. As one poster said, Fata is better than Berard and Bergeron as was inserting Aaron Johnson. |

How is Fata better the MAB and Berard? I just don't see how people can say that. |

Position wise, less turnovers...yes, Bergeron has a rocket for a shot and Berard can score an occasional goal...but we have enough turnover plagued defensemen on this team already |

And Fata is such a steady defenmen that he hasn't sniffed the NHL lineup unless people are hurt? We went as far as to sign 2 guys from Germeny last year instead of having Fata play regular time and 6 other guys this off-season. I mean come on, does MAB and Berard make mistakes...YES but statements like thank god Fata is here is just crazy IMO. |

I dont think that Fata will be the savior of the team until we get the D back. I havent been able to watch him other than the clips on the Soundtigers site. MAB does give up the puck alot more than he he should and Berard as I think is a weak player. I guess its what we gotta do while our 'regular' players heal up. No sense in arguing about it, Nolan and Snow made the call and its gonna happen. |

Bring back...PRIDE OF THE ISLAND
|
as long as they keep this point streak going, I could care less who they call up. Surprise they haven't called up Stormy yet to give Sparky a breather now and then. |

No. It is your statement of saying thank god fata is here is crazy. Stop overblowing someone else's statement. What I said was he is a better positional defenseman. I didn't say he was great or even good. But he is better than MAB and Berard in this particular area of the game. |

If you are betting a $100 for the Islanders, you will win $144 (underdogs) To win $100 betting for the Capitals, you will have to bet $154 (favorites) The over/under on goals is 5.5 under - meaning, there is a slight favor towards scoring less than 5.5 goals - so think a 3-2 score. |

It's actually not that hard. +144 means that if you bet $100 on the Islanders, you will receive $244 back (your original $100 bet and $144). -154 means that you need to bet 154 to win 100. This actually shows that the caps are pretty big favorites. 110/120 is usually a close game. I wouldn't put 154 on the caps to win 100 tonight. Chris |
