Men who play with swords: Die by the Blade
Tonight, America fights itself. Ryan Miller vs. Rick DiPietro, who skates in front of home fans for the first time in an eternity.
The last time the Islanders played, four days ago, they absolutely destroyed a traditional powerhouse who pretended like it didn't happen. ("Denial" is always the first step...) Now they face the first of three powers from their own conference in the next four days.
In scrums today, Scott Gordon again said he didn't fully grasp the severity of DiPietro's injuries last year (no thanks to DP, who tried to play through them). Among many quotes on that note at Katie Strang's Newsday blog (that'll be $5, please):
"Unfortunately, he had an injury where you couldn't fool your body, it just wouldn't allow him to do the things he needed," Gordon said. "This year he didn't try to hurry it up, he went about it the right way."
If you can't see those without Dolaning out a lot of dollars, Chris Botta also covered this topic and more. Naturally, DP says his health is the priority, but that in the NHL you're judged by wins and losses.
DiPietro: "Coming back, you'd like to say there's no rust, but when you finally get in you realize that maybe there is some rust. It's hard to come to grips with that..."
* * *
Haiti note: From friends at SBN's Senators site Silver Seven: "For every (sensible, relevant) comment made in [Silver Seven's] GameDay Thread, we're donating $0.05 to the Canadian Red Cross for the Haiti Earthquake Relief Fund." They encourage all to come by and comment to contribute your two five cents. They do have a cap, but it's not a meager one. Details will be posted at their site. The Sens, minus concussed Pascal Leclaire but with Daniel Alfredsson and Filip Kuba back, face Montreal tonight.
This is our Islanders-Sabres DiPietro Comes Home in-game thread. What do you say we hope some of the rust is gone, eh?

It would really help if you guys could light up Ryan Miller tonight, just don’t hurt him. I was going to watch this game but the Silver Seven donation thing means I’ll probably be over there most of the night.
Now let's say you and I go toe to toe on bird law and see who comes out the victor.
That wouldn’t be bad. Hey, Jimmy Howard, Ryan Miller — same difference, right?

Sykora?
Any thoughts on him as a possible rental? He supposedly had a big money contract offer for the KHL last season so he probably wouldn’t stick around again after the year. But maybe a late round pick or a questionable prospect could snatch him away?
I’m usually no fan of rentals, but considering the headache he’s giving the Wild, he might be cheap enough.
"So basically, the Stats make no sense whatsoever."
I could handle that kind of rental, yeah. He’s able to score goals still.
I still think he’s going to get back in the lineup after a Wild slump, do fine, and everyone will brush this off.
Lighthouse Hockey: Under contract through 2021, knees and hips be damned.
The Wild have a ton of pending FA’s both UFA and RFA, so it will be interesting to see what they do. I wouldn’t mind picking Sykora up, probably cost similar to what Zednik cost on 2007… 2nd or 3rd rounder.

he hasnt really been tested yet,but i like his puck handling. for those that remember many years ago when he played this was a huge help on defense. is it just me or when okposo is on the ice he almost always looks like the best player for either team?

DP hasn’t been tested much but he hasn’t looked off. Been smart with the puck.

Honestly, I do wonder. Colliding with a car hurts, I hear.
Seriously, if he was playing through a knee injury, he needs to stop that. I know that’s how he’s always been, but his mobility is limited enough as it is these days — we can’t afford running him out there at 70%.

Might have
I still feel like Frans had him, but I also anoint Frans as Emperor of All That is Good. Someone else challenged him with a near-pokecheck recently (LaBarbara?) and he pulled it off.
All in all, I was impressed with how they shot on Miller in the shootout tonight. They gave him a lot of different looks.
Lighthouse Hockey: Under contract through 2021, knees and hips be damned.
Even if you know whats coming, it doesn’t mean your going to stop it. Plus I don’t think most goalies take Shootouts seriously enough to watch film. You can never tell who is going to be put into a shootout for a team. Except for Jokinen for the Canes and Schremp for the Isles.
"So basically, the Stats make no sense whatsoever."

He got a workout
We’ll see how he feels in the morning but based on shootout and talk afterwards he looks and sounds fine. The story of the crowded crease continues. I’m sure Snow is going to get more calls on Roloson than Biron. 4.5 million a year for DP what a genius Wang is. LOL.
We'll take that
Buffalo got a gift point thanks to the ref but doesn’t matter to Isles . Isles controlled play and once again established a forecheck that kept the pressure on the Sabres for two plus periods. DP was good and can’t blame him on either goal let up. Good to see JT back on the scoresheet. Sutton came to play and hope that rubs off on the rest of the defense. Good heads up shot by MacDonald on Bergenheim goal. Tied for 8th place.
We should continue the trend of pre-game quotes from fans of other teams.
Didn’t realize the Isles were a hot team. Shows how much I care about the bottom of the conference.

"So basically, the Stats make no sense whatsoever."

slow down guys
between miller and the refs it was a tough win but by no means did they play a great game. still big problems clearing, horrid power play, missed opportunities galore. all in all i think it was healthy to face the #2 goalie on the planet before the best ever(i hate him) on mlk day. would be nice to see tamby again before he walks after the year
by Lakewood Islander on Jan 16, 2010 10:56 PM EST via mobile reply actions
Miller and the ref kept Sabres in the game
Should have been a win going away. First goal by Sabres was a fluke and second if the Isles had a decent defenseman that could clear the crease that would have happened either. Just missed winning the game in OT.
crease clearer
2 years ago witt was that guy. now he is probably done unfortunately
by Lakewood Islander on Jan 16, 2010 11:02 PM EST via mobile up reply actions
I wish he would retire
But Isles owe him 3.5 million next year. I view Witt as just a spare part now. Do not put Witt on the ice the rest of this season. Snow should get defenseman for Biron at least we all hope.

by Lakewood Islander on Jan 16, 2010 11:14 PM EST via mobile up reply actions
The Hall and Fowler dream is over
This team is too good now. Snow better get to work finding another defenseman. Hopefully some teams will be dumping salary soon. Meyer wasn’t bad tonight but still he’s a problem long term imo.
I’m sure Snow is pacing around the office screaming at the walls “Dam you guys for being good, now I can’t get Fowler!!!”
The last 3 drafts have given us Bailey, Okposo and De Haan, none of them were picked first or second overall. Moulson and Streit were both 9th round picks.
You don’t have to pick first overall to get someone talented. And having picks at or close to first overall doesn’t automatically make you better, just look at Tampa.
Trust in Snow and all will be well!
"So basically, the Stats make no sense whatsoever."
Isles have enough prsopects and young studs playing for them
Long term DP is the big question mark but Snow even addressed that last draft. Name a team and I can poke holes in it no matter who they are in the NHL. This is life in the salary cap era. Isles are in great shape for the next few years. Snow just have to make some smart trades and sign quality FA, not salary cap filler.
Hall/Fowler IS over
We’d need some catastrophic run of injuries and a catastrophic run of competence in Toronto and Carolina to head back to that territory.
Not saying 8th place is the real deal for this team, but 50 points in 48 games by an improving team means serendipitous tanking is off the menu.

Should start thinking more along the lines of Mikael Granlund or Riley Sheahan… Not Fowler/Hall but still good talents.
