Good article and as usual, some typo stuff and this one is quite funny. http://www.newsday.com/sports/hockey/islan...eason-1.2303655
Handle HIM???? Does this have anything to do with that Cinderella Prince Charming nonsense Katie was using last year to describe Moulson and Tavares???

I like that quote. I'm really looking forward to watching him this year, as I'm sure everyone else is. 18 days..... |

What I want to see this year is some consistency. No 35 game slumps in the middle of the season if we want any chance at the playoffs. That may be a lot of pressure to put on a 20 year old but since our cheap and brainless front office didn't add any veteran offense the kids are gonna have to take on more than they should have to at this stage. |

Don't forget to get a new Coliseum to save the team, Resolve all traffic congestion on the Island and establish a new NHL commissioner with a new CBA signed by 2012 Parting the Red Sea is optional. |

Let's hope he has a Stamkos type season. Look, this kid wants to do well so badly he'll put the time in and we will see improvement from him. I don't expect him to carry the team as that might be a bit much at his age. But he will contribute and we will be glad he's an Islander. 18 days, I cannot wait. Are you ready for some HOCKEY?????? (No rude comments on the last line, please. Thanks, Zep )

The best thing about Tavares is his demeanor. Always seems focused on the big picture. I have no doubt that this kid will one day be one of those playoff performers that sacrifices himself to make a big play. I don't see him having a Stamkos year. Better year perhaps and more consistent. Just worried about the teams overall commitment to standing up for each other no matter who's on the ice. Hopefully it changes. We cannot afford injuries and setbacks in development to our youthful core. |

I agree he'll have a great year, but not like Stamkos, mainly because the supporting cast that Stamkos had in TB had much more offensive talent. |

This is why I see the Gillies/Konopzk/toughness additions as important. We needed them last year. The childrens needed it. To go out and know someone has your back is vital. Yes, a few toughies on one line doesn't shield Tavares but two of the right toughies well liked by teammates who will take the challenge when th time comes spreads. I'd bet even Bruno Mohawk will even fight (if he gets NHL time). |

Who says our talent isn't offensive? Some of our guys have been downright offensive.
