yeah, it fucking sucks. Roli is having an off night...worse than an off night. sad thing is Roli might as well be the best looking Islander out there right now. everyone else is doing fuck all.

 

DP should be put in though, just to get some ice time. 10-2 loss is just as bad as 7-2 anyway.

Isles were outscored 7-2 and outshot about 52-20. 1st period certaintly didn't look as bad as the rest of the game, but after that they just...shut down. it was horrible.

 

vs the Penguins this Wednesday. hopefully the Islanders will be able to bounce back from this and play hard against 'em and get a win.

 

 

[...]time to start busting out your secondary favorites to cheer for them.

I don't think I have any second favorites yet.

Islanders trade defenseman James Wisniewski to the Montreal Canadiens for a 2011 Compensatory 2nd Round Selection and a Conditional 5th Round Pick in 2012. bad move, I think.

he's making $3.25 million this year and is a ufa at the end of the season so I'm guessing the isles had no desire to re-sign him and figured they'd get something instead of nothing for losing him. it is basically management's way of sayiing "yeah come back in 2011 fans"

only about one in four second round picks ever play 100 nhl games, maybe one in ten fifth rounders so it's possible they'll get someone to play in the pros but not likely. I'm guessing wisniewski wasn't dying to stay so the isles figured they would need to pay him even more to keep him and I don't know that any bottom-tier team should spend $4 million for a 27 year old top four defenseman
