Around SBN: Explaining Jeremy Lin's Early, Surprising Success

Islanders Links: Loss hangover edition

I'm traveling this weekend -- this morning I woke up, landed in a new city, changed my perspective ... but the Islanders had still lost last night. Blah.

  • Newsy Recaps: Newsday and the Post with pretty much the same quotes. The Gordon comments about Isles players mistakenly thinking they're an explosive offensive team give food for thought. That's what's eating lines #2 through 4?
  • During his live blog, Mike at Islesblogger reported the best part of the game: "The Sens fans in attendance have thrown their Heatley garb on the ice." Nice.

Meanwhile...

Patience: Turns out it's actually quite hard to maintain.

Not sure about the "sources" verdict

From what I’ve been reading, it is far less clear that the Isles would owe the Rangers anything…especially if the move is to Queens. There would probably be some dickering about this, but in the end I am sure that an agreement would be reached that would pose no problem for Wang if, as I ecpect, they make the move to the CitiField location.

What about Huet, Dom?

If you’ve been reading my fanshots, they are about ready to run Cristobal out of town on a rail in Chi-town. His latest debacle? He let in two incredibly soft goals costing the Hawks a 4-3 first of the season home loss. Hawks’ Trib blogger Steve Rosenbloom has been all over Huet, talking about getting him a plane ticket out of town and a DNR holiday card!!! Rosenbloom pointedly said that the Bowman braintrust was even now thinking about which scoring forward they would trade for a goaltender.

My thoughts? If, hopefully Roly and / or Marty’s games pick up—as I am sure they will—package one of them along with Dougie or maybe Andy for Buff Daddy. A trade to coincide with their March 2 trip to Uniondale would seem to make sense.

I say grab Huet

BC – I was under the impression that we take Huet and his contract therefor gurenantee not only Buff in the deal but also get Versteeg or Barker for a Biron and Sutton

Not sure who suggested that to you. I haven’t. At one time, I was thinking that we take the poison pill of Huet and his contract to loosen the bottle cap to get Buff Daddy. I no longer think that is necessary. And I am quite sure that Chicago isn’t going to give away half of their franchise. I think they are coming to terms with the need to unload one of their big guns—probably Buff Daddy—and get a more reliable goalie. They would also like a tough stay at home defender and a good PP guy. We have Witter, but he would be bringing a salary they don’t want. So either Roly or Marty and Dougie for Buff Daddy. If Roly and Marty pick up their games and Huet is still ole-ing shots on net in a few months, it could happen.
