Puckhead,

I'm well aware of that fact. I was being facitiious.

Thought that was obvious. Nobody is a bust in the nhl after less than 20 games.

including tamby :P

Which is why he's had 90+ nhl games.




As for wood....you are all over the place. Again I'll ask...who are the kids who shouldn't be playing in your mind and who are the ones who shouldn't?

:disgraced: You said shouldnt twice that is all over the place, well the obvious Tamby, Bailey not ready for the nhl needs more time, Okposo bridgeport score down there first he looks lost not consistent. Whatever I say you will say I am all over the place anyway. Question where is Jeremy Coalition he was not half bad Blake Comeau these guys were here at the end of last year they played pretty good, is the fact that Okposo and Bailey are high draft picks and the organization has to show them off.

The reason you're "all over the place" is because no one can understand what you're writing. The key to getting your point across is punctuation. If you don't punctuate, you run the risk of sounding unintelligent and illiterate. People don't take those who are unintelligent and illiterate seriously, no matter what their point may be. (Even though, in this case, your points are way off)

Ability to read doesn't necessarily translate to ability to write. IslesWin86 and I4C are right to be confused concerning your point. Even thought this is Islander talk, there is no reason that we can't type intelligently.

The reason I said you were "all over the place" is because you hopped from topic to topic without supporting any of your statements. I'm glad you went to Rutgers. So did my brother. Graduated with a meteorology degree. Great school, but I hope you didn't do anything that involved much writing because you don't support your points. You just make blanket statements.

Case in point... You went on about "the Islanders shouldn't be playing kids and should sign FA's". Well, it took 4 or 5 days to drag out of you what kids shouldn't be playing. You came up with the obvious Tambelini, (but we should play Comeau- another kid!!! nice contradiction) but then you come up with Okposo and Bailey shouldn't be playing either? They've both played well, especially paired together. Then when I throw you a bone about how poorly Gervais hasn't been playing well, you come up with some "Hasselhoff on the floor eating a cheeseburger" tirade about how he shouldn't be playing. Well, who the heck else is left? FM4 is out hurt. Sutton was hurt for a while. Martinek was out. Witt just came off the IR. I think Gervais has been lousy this season, but when you have 4 dmen out, you are going to have to have guys step up from lower in the rotation. (btw- "all over the place" is pretty well shown by three straight posts about Gervais that apparently weren't clear to other readers. Were you debating yourself at that point? No one responded to your post...except you)

Also, it has been over a week now and you STILL haven't said who the Islanders should have signed as a FA. That was what started all this nonsense. You went on about "not playing the kids" and "signing FA's like the Yankees did" but didn't say WHO on either topic. Then you moved to the Lighthouse project and management. Then back to the kids and still avoided who should play. Then you name two kids who SHOULD be playing as who shouldn't play.

That is why you are all over the place. Honestly, I could give two craps about your writing skills or lack thereof. It neither weakens or improves your argument because you fail to make a solid one on any of the attempted points you fail to make.

If you claim the kids shouldn't be playing...say which ones and get the correct ones.
If you claim we should be going after FA's, tell us which ones we should have signed (that should be funny)
Otherwise, you are just all over the place.

:disgraced: O.K. I never said dont play the kids. It would be nice to have free agents Brendan Morrison, Corey Stillman, Micheal Ryder, Todd Fedoryk, hell I liked Vasicek. I know we cant afford it but what about Redden, Avery, Campbell, Naslund, Ryan Malone, dont tell me there was nobody out there. And as for Gervais I never was critical of his play, he needs to sit back instead of pinching in so much. I think Okposo and Bailey will be good players. I would love for Bailey and Okoposo to develop and be good players, so add key free agents and lose the scrubs. See you in KANSAS TOTO.

This sacrificing a whole season to get a draft pick mentality sucks hell the price of tickets I want to see a quality hockey team on the ice every night I dont want to see Brideport.

So because you demand a better team because you buy tickets, it should magically appear? Where are these players going to come from if we don't develop them? We've been at best 8th in the east since 2002, but suddenly we will exceed that because you have a notion of FA's?

:disgraced: Wait what about Rafalski did he help wings win cup? What about Hossa for Pitt and Skyora, never said dont play the kids just play the wright kids, I am not opposed to playing the kids but this team has too many kids that should be in the minors and where the hell is Comeau?


Actually, you did say don't play kids because you "want to see a good team every night". Then you came up with this post and then proceeded to claim Bailey and Okposo were NOT the right kids to play, but somehow Comeau was??? This is how you are all over the place. You don't even know which kids are playing well (Bailey, Okposo) and which ones aren't (I had to point out to you that Gervais has been poor this year and you went on a near incoherant 3 posts about him--at least I think they were about him).

Now, you come up with a list of FA's we should have signed. Really...Brian Campbell who I would have loved to get, cost Chicago 7 million a season. Campbell wasn't coming here. Ryan Smyth turned down 6,5 million a year to stay and he already saw what we were about. Have you not noticed that top line FA's have not been giving us a sniff in recent years? What FA's did you list did we 1- have a legit shot to sign and 2- were going to be difference makers for us?

Also, last I checked we did add Mark Streit who's been a pretty good signing. Doug Weight has been a good addition as well. Or did you want to add Corey Stillman and other 3rd line FA's so that the team could compete for another first round exit from the playoffs AT BEST? You can't sign every FA on the market. It is called BUILDING a team. Not "miracle grow" a team.

If you want to just throw some FA's together in an effort to just make the playoffs and go home year after year, well buy those little tadpole things they sold on the back of comic..."just add water". You don't INSTANTLY create a cup contender. It takes YEARS of building. How did just blindly adding FA's work for the Raggies?

It's taken you that long to come up with your list of FA's and how many could we actually sign or if we did, were going to be the top line talent we lack? I for one want to build a team that in 2-3 years has a shot at...oh, I don't know, round 2 of the playoffs, not fighting for spots 8-10 in the east every year. You ideas would do no better than spots 8-10.

Didn't you just answer it in your own sentence?

"I know we can't afford it"..."but what about Redden, AVery, Naslund, Malone".

Are you joking...if we can't afford them...then we can't sign them. And as for Avery, he's already alienated his teammates in Dallas. Redden wasn't signing here. Neither was Malone who leads his time in PIM and is scoring as much as Michael Jackson does with women. Naslund...why would he come to LI? Do we throw him a Yashin contract? Those worked well.

And then you mentioned Ryder, Stillman, Fedoryk and :rofl: :rofl: Vasicek??? :rofl: :rofl:

Yeah...those are our difference makers. If we only had Vas again...because he gave us so much last year. If only we had Ryder who MTL just cast off.

That is what we are missing...more 3rd line talent.

Where did I grade your grammar? I didn't even bring up your grammar. Its your ideas I don't agree with. If I wanted to grade your grammar then my posts would look like the beginning of a Star Wars movie...ok, they already do, but they'd be even longer.

BTW...it took you how long to come up with a list of FA's? I asked you days ago what FA's we should have signed and you kept posting but didn't answer it until today. Then you give us that list?

Gimme a break. Do you think we could sign Campbell? Really? I'd say right now Streit was a better signing. And you throw in Avery? A guy who's been a cancer on every team he's been on. Look at the Rangers...they were 15 wins better with him in the lineup AND THEY NO LONGER WANTED HIM. Now he's a total joke in Dallas and you think we should have signed him?

Another reason why you are all over the place... You obviously spent time looking up FA's to list and that is the best you could come up with.

And you don't even know who you are talking about. Craving the Cup and Isles86 addressed your grammar. Not me.

You're lost on many fronts.

The Islanders are amazing. They will somehow keep winning games and play themselves out of a top pick. We will end up somewhere near 8 or 9. This pick won't make it and that leads me to my next rant. What's the problem in this organization? Either we are horrible at analyzing talent or we are horrible at developing them. Probably a lot of both. It drives me nuts seeing our guys only as 3rd or 4th liners and the Rangers, Devils, and Wings constantly developing studs.

Puckhead,

I'm well aware of that fact. I was being facitiious.

Thought that was obvious. Nobody is a bust in the nhl after less than 20 games.

including tamby :P

Which is why he's had 90+ nhl games.




As for wood....you are all over the place. Again I'll ask...who are the kids who shouldn't be playing in your mind and who are the ones who shouldn't?

:disgraced: You said shouldnt twice that is all over the place, well the obvious Tamby, Bailey not ready for the nhl needs more time, Okposo bridgeport score down there first he looks lost not consistent. Whatever I say you will say I am all over the place anyway. Question where is Jeremy Coalition he was not half bad Blake Comeau these guys were here at the end of last year they played pretty good, is the fact that Okposo and Bailey are high draft picks and the organization has to show them off.

The reason you're "all over the place" is because no one can understand what you're writing. The key to getting your point across is punctuation. If you don't punctuate, you run the risk of sounding unintelligent and illiterate. People don't take those who are unintelligent and illiterate seriously, no matter what their point may be. (Even though, in this case, your points are way off)

:disgraced: Sorry stud I didnt know I was getting graded on my writing skills, I thought this was Islander talk. By the way I went to Rutgers for four years, so I can read.

These are garbage posts and don't belong on a board where we should be just talking about hockey. This is why people repost topics that are covered in other threads. No one wants to read through 8 pages of trash to find the topic they would like to post about.

I just wanted to post that this team is definitely tired after two periods. I can believe that they just stop playing "the system" after they get a lead. It might make sense to implement another system after two periods. I think they will get over this problem. I have to say they look dynamite when they are playing well. They've looked dynamite against some of the best teams in the league at times.

The Islanders are amazing. They will somehow keep winning games and play themselves out of a top pick. We will end up somewhere near 8 or 9. This pick won't make it and that leads me to my next rant. What's the problem in this organization? Either we are horrible at analyzing talent or we are horrible at developing them. Probably a lot of both. It drives me nuts seeing our guys only as 3rd or 4th liners and the Rangers, Devils, and Wings constantly developing studs.

You're saying that an 8 or 9th pick wouldn't make it. What are you talking about? Bailey is just one example, this kid looks great. There are many other examples, Franzen, Datsyuk. More than I could post on this page. The Bailey pick is starting to look great for Snow.
