The most interesting man in the world

Guerin can be mentioned in the same breath as Smyth, While he's not quite the leader, he does have more overall skill. At 4.5 million on a two year deal, the risk is much lower as well. Nice Job Garth !!!!! Glad none of us ever doubted you ! LOL |

In Garth I Trust
|
actually, I think we should have referrendum on the use of the phrase "DEBBIE DOWNER". Not exactly the most masculine phrase to use...... Not that there is anything wrong with that Oh, come on. Just trying to lighten the mood a bit. Anyone know when the schedule comes out? |

Ek now claims Comrie is "very close" to signing with us. We will see what happens. |

if you can't stay positive, and say something positive, then don't say anything at all.. patience...positivity...Islanders Fans motto.... trust in garth, he is doing the right thing... hate me if you want, thats your right, but I am trying to be positive, I am trying to spread positivity to everyone I meet....whats wrong with that? what would you rather have? to be a positive person or a negative person? |

because Nillson is what, 22 years old? And it isnt just Nillson, it is Nillson, O Marra and the 15th overall, you dont trade those guys when you cant afford it, and even if we werent high on all those guys, that is a horrible way to deal with your assests,, if you have a Honus Wagner 1910 baseball card that is valued at 3 million dolalrs but yours is bent in half and is only valued at 1 million dollars, do you just give it away? no you get what you can for it, Snow made a horrible, absolutley horrible trade when he made that trade for Smyth and everyone says this is a thin draft, who the f#@k knows, at least 1/2 of 1st rounders always turn out to be legitimate NHL players, just look at the past 1st round drafts over the last 20 years, no one can ever tell the draft until 7 years later My predictions? Isles will most likely miss the playoffs this year, we may sign Comrie or someone else, Isles probably jacked their attendance up a little with the signing of Guerin, but we will again fall last in attendance and have a worse attendance then last year |

Great signing Garth, brings some legitamacy back to the ISLES. As i said in my posts before this group has a plan and is sticking to it. You cannot be pressured by fan discontent to just sign anyone, just to say you are active. Guerin's contract is alot of money but the years are good, and he plays with heart and that's what i love. Also he brings his name which may attract others to come. Side note please don't sign Souray, i live in Montreal and saw most of the habs games. All he has is a shot and we have MAB for that. He is slow and horible in his own end, plus for the money he is asking it is a horrible contract to undertake. I would rather Markov, or Sutton than him. Hold your head up high Islander fans, our time is coming soon, let's unite and support this team, because WE ARE ALL ISLANDERS!!!!!!! |

Guerin is a good signing regardless of past personel misjudgements by Snow and company. I don't understand how people could see this as a negative thing. He is not our savior, but he's a start in the right direction. |

You've Just Been Served!

We are going to have to consider this move as the return for the 3 draft picks istead of Smyth. I think they are both similar players - the "down and dirty" types. Guerin is actually a Cup champion while Smyth is not - may he never gets his name on a Cup. To those criticizing this move, you have to be fair - you can't knock them for doing nothing and than knock them again when they pull a fairly significant move like this. This is not a Jon Sim sgning - Guerin is a major player. Comrie would be a good second line center- if they close the deal. They are still going to need a 1st line center and top 2 d-man, but this is much better off than we were just a couple of days ago. |

Garth the suspense kills us fans. But way to go signing Billy. Hopefully more positive news is coming. With some young and older blood this team can compete. DP needs to be healthy and at his best and he has shown he can do that if he just sticks to the gameplan. Is it October yet??? Sal |

Dont say anything at all!!!!!! Who the hell do you think you are to say that!! This is a message board for everyone not just you! I like the fact Snow signed Guerin but I do like to hear all opinions by all in this message board, positive and negative. Long as no one is being personal and slandering someone its OK!!

Comrie's agent was quoted as saying Guerin and Comrie talked to each other about coming to the Islanders. Comrie wants a one year deal to legtimize himself as a first line center:
