I'm thinking he was scared of flying into Newark so he landed at JFK and Snow picked him up so he could watch Lou sign him....sort of like a Management Training Class.

Tucker's hit altered the Islanders history in a negative way much like the goon Hunter from the Caps did so several years before him. |

Key facts for Kovalchuk decision: Devils 1. always a contender can win Cup next year Islanders 1. Outside of 1 or 2 still unproved players very little talent with history of consistent ineptitude. 1983 and then................................................................ NOTE: ------ Tucker cleans up the sewage in Islanders locker room |

The Devs are NOT a contender to win the cup next year. Sorry, but not enough talent there. They need more D in front of a declining Marty. Those who thought we became a contender with Kovy...nope. We would have an OUTSIDE shot at the playoffs. 7-8 spots would have been in play. Otherwise, we also have more building to do either way. |

Have to agree. Brodeur is on his way down too. His performance in the playoffs was way below his previous efforts. |

Authority without wisdom is like a heavy axe without an edge: fitter to bruise than polish. Anger makes dull men witty, but it keeps them poor. In the beginning, the Universe was created. This made a lot of people very angry and has been widely regarded as a bad move. | |

I've been looking all around an nowhere does it quote Garth Snow that says we are out of the picture. That they are no longer interested. Strang is the only one reporting it, and it's in her words. Does anyone think, because of this long long delay of this alleged deal with the Devils, that Kovy is still listening? |

Bring back...PRIDE OF THE ISLAND
|
I have hopes that he is...and that since he hasn't signed yet..there is still a slim possibility to sign a short term deal, like snow said...or whatever...perhaps kovy gets antsy about the delay with devs..hey anything can happen...I ain't holding my breath though... |

gullible (gul·li·ble) Adj. 1. gullible - naive and easily deceived or tricked, fleeceable, green naif, naive - marked by or showing unaffected simplicity and lack of guile or worldly experience 2. gullible - easily tricked because of being too trusting Real glad I was away from all news since Thurs. If NYI ever got Kovy I'd dance naked at TOH City Hall with just a K Murray mask on my Johnson and a Cholly Wang mask on my butt and NOBODY wants to see that. That's how sure I am it would never happen as I wrote a week ago. Yet some are defined above. Do you really think the organization (and I use that word loosely as they're so disorganized) that won't spend for radio, won't spend for Whitney types but keep Weight, won't spend for.... well you know the whole list by now, is going to spend for Kovy? Without an arena/real estate deal or sale to someone not named Wang? |

This is from the same stunad who wrote the following last week - Quote: The Islanders now have a stable of young talent unlike any they've had in a long, long time. Yes, it may even be as good as during their glory years.

This clown from cbs ny had a few hum dingers in there...
Garth didn't draft Okposo. Neil Smith did.
I don't recall that concensus on DP. I recall many scouts he had great POTENTIAL but the next coming of Brodeur...that is like saying Daryl Strawberry would be the Black Ted Williams.
Why on earth would you take a 40 goal scorer and play him 50' from the net on the PP? Where did he get the idea that Kovy should play the point on the PP?
This was probably the most accurate passage in the article. But I've read this guy's blog before and other than choose a cool DC Comic hero to name his blog after, I've never been impressed by this writer's knowledge of hockey or CBS' coverage of it. Have they even shown a hockey game since game 6 in 1980? |

Good stuff but one thing I think I disagree with...
I4C, from what I remember watching Thrasher games on centre ice, Kovalchuk was used on the point on powerplays.
