"But the Coliseum became a repository for all the team's troubles, a convenient scapegoat. There were suggestions that no major free agent ever would set foot in such a decrepit place. We have two words for anyone making that argument: Fenway Park. History says free agents would play in an old boxcar if they got enough money and had a chance to win." - Mark Herrmann

A: The all star game hasn't been entertaining for as long as I can remember.




B: I'd be perfectly happy if we never put a franchise player in that game again....ever :P

Good. Grabner will show them all that speed but no hands, much like Bobby Sheehan. :lol:

Bring back...PRIDE OF THE ISLAND
so now we know what the players think of the Islanders.....ABSOLUTELY NO RESPECT AT ALL...If anyone on the Islanders had a brain or any pride whatsoever..hopefully they remember this..


oh and by the way...tavares plus minus sucks...maybe if he and his teammates learn to play defense they would also be consider for things like this...

perhaps this explains things..


http://www.nhl.com/ice/news.htm?id=549169


"Without identifying specific teams or players, there were players that reached out to their general managers, who then reached out to the League to quietly say, 'This guy is playing but he has a nagging injury and he's asked me to ask you to leave him off,' " said Shanahan, the NHL's V.P. for Hockey and Business Development. "We have to respect that."




maybe tavares has a nagging injury.. :letssee:

An inflamed bonus clause....he'll be out at least two days.

Completely justifiable. We don't have any all stars on this team right now. Grabner doesn't deserve to be on an all anything team. If Streit were healthy he would be the only candidate with also a small possibility for Okposo. I have a feeling that if Streit were healthy he would have already gotten fleeced away in a trade for a crappy return.

Tavares---14 goals and 14 assists in 37 games while playing with PA Parenteau. Playing with PA hurts you. The Rags send 3 and we get one on the &#%*@+$ rookie team. This league is a joke.

I'm not the biggest Burke fan but when he makes a great point, you have to give him his due.
That said...he really crapped the bed in the Kessel deal but his Leafs will be alot better before we will.

Garth is making due without coupons while flat out lying to the fans and media.

Not sure I agree with the bolded part, they are spending 3mil below the cap and are only what 7pts better then us.

Now if your saying that Wanger is never going to bring in any Vet talent or proven scorers then yes I guess I'll have to agree.


If this team has a few FA pickups and a legit head coach I think we'd be in the hunt for the playoffs next year but again thats a big IF since they will only get so far on the nickel and dime crap.

Tavares deserves to be there. When they asked him about being shunned last night he said "it would have been an honor to make it, but if I don't I'll take the 3 days off".

He didn't seem to mind much, but it would have been great to see him around the better players in the league and see how he matched up.

No biggie, I don't think its a reflection on what other players think or a bonus clause or anything like that.

Tavares is the only qualifier and with his numbers, barely so. So, yes, I think he deserves to be there, more from every team should be represented than "he got screwed".
