c hoertjes Posted December 21, 2010 Author Report Share Posted December 21, 2010 I'll be at the Hawks/Blues game Dec. 28th. I'm not expecting a good result. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ixa Posted December 21, 2010 Report Share Posted December 21, 2010 DiPietro and Mottau were placed on IR. DP for his swollen knee I think and Mottau for a torn labrum in his right hip that will require surgery and put him out the rest of the season.

c hoertjes Posted December 21, 2010 Author Report Share Posted December 21, 2010 How many years left on that DiPietro contract? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ixa Posted December 21, 2010 Report Share Posted December 21, 2010 I think he's got about 10 more years here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chewblaha Posted December 21, 2010 Report Share Posted December 21, 2010 Hossa out 'til "After Christmas." We have eleven more years with him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hatch Posted December 22, 2010 Report Share Posted December 22, 2010 any contract that is 6+ years is a dumb one imo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
c hoertjes Posted December 22, 2010 Author Report Share Posted December 22, 2010 I think they're still paying Yashin, too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hatch Posted December 22, 2010 Report Share Posted December 22, 2010 yeah he's still getting $2.2m/year for five years to play in the khl Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ixa Posted December 23, 2010 Report Share Posted December 23, 2010 Islanders vs Lightning tonight. Roloson in goal (0-11-1 in last 12 starts). Martin got a 2 game suspension for a hit in the last game, so Bailey was brought back up from the Bridge. hopefully this turns out pretty well. if they win today they'll be tied with the Devils, and then if they beat the Devils tomorrow they'll...well they'll be ahead of the Devils obviously.

c hoertjes Posted December 23, 2010 Author Report Share Posted December 23, 2010 Honestly, at this point, you should be hoping for the #1 draft pick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ixa Posted December 23, 2010 Report Share Posted December 23, 2010 I'm pretty sure Snow still still believes they're in the running for the playoffs. I think they're about...20 or so pts away from the 8-seed. I think. still not 100% sure how that works. anyway. Islanders were losing 1-0 in the 1st period (missed the goal since I was upstairs getting dinner). Parenteau tied it up with less than 30 seconds left in the 2nd period and Tavares won it for them in OT. 2-1 Islanders. also, I didn't realize this before when I made my last post, but since they've played 2 less games than the Devils they've all ready moved ahead of them.

Chewblaha Posted December 25, 2010 Report Share Posted December 25, 2010 Man we got a big win the other night over the Predators. The Hawks have looked to their bench more and have started scoring with two of our top three wingers out. Looking forward to when they get back to see how things heat up. Brian Bickell and Jack Skille have been picking up the slack and hopefully we can get Victor Stalberg back up to speed. Admittedly though, I am a little disappointed in Dave Bolland's season so far.

ixa Posted December 25, 2010 Report Share Posted December 25, 2010 Islanders beat the Devils 5-1 on Thursday. but you know..."The Devils". still though, 7pts in their last 4 games is nice. Bailey has looked great the past 2 games he's been back and scored the first 2 goals on Thursday night. Roloson got the start and he looked pretty damn good out there. Kyle Okposo, I think, should be coming back sometime in January. speaking of the Devils, they've recently fired head coach John MacLean and brought back Jacques Lemaire, though I think it might be interim, I don't remember. vs Canadiens this Sunday, Rangers on Monday and then the Penguins and Red Wings on Wednesday and Friday respectively to wrap up December and 2010. here's hoping for some more wins.

Chewblaha Posted December 26, 2010 Report Share Posted December 26, 2010 So. Hossa was taken off IR today! Yay! Then Kane was put on it. :'( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ixa Posted December 27, 2010 Report Share Posted December 27, 2010 Islanders beat the Canadiens tonight 4-1. some really great goaltending by Roloson. goals by Comeau, Grabner, Parenteau and Wisniewski. Plekanec got the only goal of the night for the Habs. 3rd straight win and their 5th straight that they've earned points in (4 wins, 1 OT loss). @Rangers tomorrow night. The Devils also lost 4-1 tonight, to the Leafs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
c hoertjes Posted December 27, 2010 Author Report Share Posted December 27, 2010 If you keep winning, say goodbye to the good draft picks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hatch Posted December 27, 2010 Report Share Posted December 27, 2010 it's a pretty weak draft class really, aside from courtuier there is no standout and the islanders already have four or so centers drafted in the last two years Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ixa Posted December 27, 2010 Report Share Posted December 27, 2010 if they keep winning they won't need to worry about rebuilding through the draft anyway. start winning and playing well, and better players will want to come to the Island and maybe they could also get a good, seasoned coach and a new GM.

c hoertjes Posted December 27, 2010 Author Report Share Posted December 27, 2010 The Islanders are terrible and dysfunctional right now. The only thing you should be hoping for is good draft picks, that's the only way to rebuild. Look at the Penguins. The Blues are still rebuilding, but they're doing it the right way. They tried free agency/trades for years, and it got 'em dick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
