Bring back...PRIDE OF THE ISLAND

It is now 5:52 pm eastern standard time....Ilya Kovalchuk is still unsigned. The Islanders got their long awaited decision from the town... Expect a major announcement from the Islanders soon. Have a good evening Islander fans.

http://www.nhl.com/ice/news.htm?id=533377&...4;NHL|home An ominous silence in L.A.? 07.13.2010 / 9:18 p.m. ET The silence out of Los Angeles is deafening. While Kings writer Rich Hammond reports that the team is maintaining its silence concerning Ilya Kovalchuk, Helene Elliott of the Los Angeles Times said via Twitter that the deal may be dead, "this time for good." The holdup, she reports, is money. --John Kreiser |

At what point will this guy call a press conference complete with airshow, fireworks and world wide simulcast? He's becoming hockey's version of Brett Favre. |

Repeat a lie frequently enough....
|
Is this normal? Is this how the process works for bidding for elite talent? This just seems bizarre. In the past, was the public not privy to these things because we did not have instant access to information as we do today; or are we just witnessing something really, really strange. I have no problems with Kovy trying to secure as much money for himself as he can (as Floyd Mayweather recently stated, "I'm a PRIZE fighter, of course I fight for the money. DUH!") but I don't think I've ever seen anything so strange, especially with the Kings constantly changing their stance. This seems more like chaos than it does bargaining and negotiating. |

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 think his "agent" is Russian mob. How else do you explain he's now had offers from us, Devs, LAK and Russia with no signature yet :lol: |

Anyone check out the new ice girl audition video on Strang's blog. Seems like a pretty attractive bunch. http://www.newsday.com/blogs/sports/isles-files-1.812028 |

Ok, so here is the latest from Chris Botta at IPB. http://www.islanderspointblank.com/2010/07...later/#comments
I loved DLK's comment # 17
Is Botta going to make excuses for Garth Snow or will Snow make excuses? I cannot wait for more BS from Snow's side. You guys watch, when Kovalchuk signs somewhere and some of ours fans whine, Snow will leak a story claiming he is considering suing Apple because his iPhone connection cut out. Bastid. ahhhh, the saga continues. |

To use an overage, recovering from injury player as the way to reach the cap is ridiculous. What if we are still 5 million below the cap? Weight gets 1m + 4m in incentives he most likely never reach, so essentially we still have a roster not worth the minimum NHL level? I like Weight and can't blame him here for this type of thinking. Don't you think the GM could better spend that money to improve the team, or is it a way for Wang to have a payroll below what is mandated by the NHL with a loophole and just cheap his way out? |

. Has nothing to do with being smart, Weight has no where else to go. Otherwise, he would be out of here quicker than Neil Smith. .
Sure, give him an assistant coaching job. hell, the way how things look, he'll be our next coach in no time.
This statement alone is the biggest F'N joke from Botta. |

This is actually year 4 of the rebuild. How in god's name can ANY sane, intelligent fan still take this regime seriously? I want to know. Time after time, excuse after excuse their off ice managment/maneuvers continue to read like a script for a standup act. They finally assemble some players we can honestly admire and look forward to seeing develop but the cord for nurturing them is cut again and again. I just cannot make sense of this other than everything we've feared all along is true.
