Joe Callahan? I guess Jack Hillen and Brett Skinner didnt leave a good impression on Gordon. |

Maybe he's more of a Defensive Dman and Gordon didn't want the more offensive minded guys for a tougher Philly team? He's listed at 6'2" 211.

Gordon and Capuano know better than me who's playing the best. |

Hey now, these showcase games on Versus are the only ones us out-of-towners who can't afford Center Ice can watch! It's about time the Isles are being "featured." |

I know this might upset some here. I don't care about the number of wins. What I'm hoping for is progress for these players: Sean Bergenheim, Kyle O (when he returns), Josh Bailey, Blake C, any young defenseman that has a chance to compete up here, DP (when he returns, maturity is what I am seeking). |

Exactly! If we are rebuilding, then let's watch for signs that that's going in the right direction. Youngsters getting more ice time, taking fewer bad penalties, taking quality shots on goal, knowing when to pass vs. hold the puck, sticking up for each other, etc. is what I'm looking for, based on the STATED DIRECTION of the team. If they have to play Danis to spell MacDonald, so be it. If they get shelled because a backup to the backup goalie is in net, I'm not going to have an aneurysm. That said, I'd love to see the Islanders holding their own / winning their share. Come to think of it, that's pretty much what they're doing.... |

Heck with maturity What about a tear in the knee. It happened AGAIN 1 month ago maybe two ??? It takes 6 months to a year for a guy not playing goalie to feel OK. MAYBE ? I'm not even mentioning the head or Hip

VIVA LAS VEGAS

LOL @ the head or hip comment |
| After a narrow victory in 1994, Boston Bruins defenseman Al Iafrate was asked why, in the closing moments of the game, he had fired the puck around the boards rather than into the empty net. His reply? "Empty-net goals are for faggots" | |

I hope this grey box with: "Your cable service is being updated and may interrupt television viewing. Please stand by." in it on my TV is gone soon. Hard to watch a hockey game if there isn't a picture. |
