PrintSo everyone has been rec'ing good comments, to the point where I've seen more green comments in the last month or so then in all the time leading up to it. So I went back to Thanksgiving and collected all the highlighted comments in one place. It goes to show that even in the worst of times, we all have a pretty good sense of humor.
I don't know about a "chant"
but how about a limerick…
There once was a tool named Sean Avery,
Who thought his own nuts were quite savoury,
He acted like a phallus,
And got kicked out of Dallas,
Now he revels in his acts which lack bravery

No, JT's problem
is NOT that he isn’t Stamkos; It’s that Moulson and whoever are not St Louis and Lecavalier. That makes a huge difference.
At the same time they are not the same player. Stamkos is a sniper who sets himself up on the half board and one times saucer passes from good players who can make ‘em. JT’s office is at or near the crease, popping goals on juicy rebounds.

It's like he's being controlled in NHL 11 by a six year old
…who gets distracted by something and drops the controller.

When he takes a Penalty Shot we can call it a Kessel Run. I bet he can get a shot off in less than 12 parcets too.

Tavares, Moulson, Joensuu
the TMJ line? Which is appropriate, considering I many of use are developing it watching this team as of late…

*SIGH!*
by ICanSeeForIslesAndIsles (Horrible DP play Vs Atlanta)
I realize it’s easy to be down on DP, and I took a shot at him last night, but he’s still improving game after game, you can’t just dump him or waiver him when the whole team is making mistakes anyway. With the error margin for this team being so thin, it magnifies every little mistake. DP might be a completely different goalie (one who could be a full time starter) by the time March or so rolls around. Let’s play him and figure out where the future is in crease.

Frustration
Whatever, fine. Inexplicably turn this into a discussion of the merits of concern regarding ones local government. Because thats TOTALLY what I was talking about and has something to do with my statement- somehow.

"The New York Knicks are finally winning some hockey games"
by Zhora
I was just an Isles fan
Didn’t know good play from bad
Haven’t seen a playoff win since ‘93
Left at Nassau Coliseum
They won Cups, I didn’t see ‘em
Good ol’ Butchie can describe it all for me
(chours)
We get the high draft choices
We get malapropic voices
There’s no winning streaks at this locality
But I tune in every evening
To MSG eleven million
Butch and Howie! You bring the hilarity
(chorus)
Keep yer snipers and your stoppers
Big-game keepers, elbow droppers
We’ve got injured guys and small d-men to spare
We’ve got sixteen goaltenders
Some are GMs, some could be better
Not that I particularly care
(chorus)…
Get on the bus and ride!

Love Maiden, I think Wasted Years fits too
I close my eyes and think of home
Another city goes by in the night
Ain’t it funny how it is
You never miss it ‘til it’s gone away
And my heart is lying there
And will be ’til my dying day
So understand
Don’t waste your time
Always searching for those wasted years
Face up…make your stand
And realize you’re living in the golden years
Too much time on my hands
I got you on my mind
Can’t ease this pain, so easily
When you can’t find the words to say
It’s hard to make it through another day
And it makes me want to cry
And throw my hands up to the sky
So understand
Don’t waste your time
Always searching for those wasted years
Face up…make your stand
And realize you’re living in the golden years

Serviceable NHLers
The Islanders lineup is not void of NHL talent and depth; it is struggling to find seasoned first and second line players. The potential is there, but not yet realized. There are players past (Bergenheim) and present (Comeau) that can be frustrating on the Islanders because they are required to do too much, but can play third line minutes and maybe even second line minutes if they had a stronger supporting cast (not other serviceable third liners).
Some teams may be willing to deal to get younger, cheaper or maybe add depth to their farm system or clear a logjam at the NHL level; so just because the Islanders are built on a lot of redundant third line parts, I agree they aren’t wothless. Just worth less as a bunch to the Islanders than to another team.

Just like Comeau...

Nice.
Great work! I love how some of these are obvious, and sometimes are unique “had to be theres.”
And that Predators fan Chris Burton gets in there.

Good job!

John Tavares=The Franchise, The Future, and still only 20yrs old, SO GIVE HIM SOME F**KING TIME TO MATURE CRITICS! Not everyone is Wayne Gretzky(although Tavares did break some of his records....tee hee)
Well I just went through and found all the green highlighted ones.

Nice work webby!

1979-80

May 24, 1980: Tonelli to Nystrom. At long last, the steady build of the New York Islanders from expansion doormat to surprise semifinalist to annual contender reaches the promised land: Buoyed by a late season trade for Butch Goring that gave the team the depth up the middle GM Bill Torrey had been seeking, the Islanders knock off the Philadelphia Flyers in six games.
The victory justified the faith in coach Al Arbour who guided them from their second season to their first Stanley Cup seven seasons later. The Islanders would not be the first expansion team to win the Stanley Cup, but they would be the only one capable of a dynasty.
1980-81

May 21, 1981: This time it was much easier. After falling to "only" 91 points in the 1979-80 season, the Islanders returned to their division title tradition, piling up 110 points -- a whole 13 points over second-place Philadelphia.
Between the quarterfinals (where they beat the upstart Oilers in six games) and the finals, the Islanders reeled off eight consecutive wins -- with a four-game sweep of archrival Rangers in between. As they defeated the Minnesota North Stars in five games for their second Cup, their goal difference in the final was a combined +10.
1981-82

May 16, 1982: Another year, another landslide title. The Islanders won the Patrick Division by a whopping 26 points over the second-place Rangers, and were seven points clear of their nearest competition for the President's Trophy, the still-not-quite-ripe Edmonton Oilers.
A first-round scare against the Pittsburgh Penguins turned in the Isles' favor thanks to John Tonelli's heroics, and a true dynasty was on its way: Past the Rangers in six games, then an eight-game sweep of the Quebec Nordiques and Vancouver Canucks to run away with the Stanley Cup.
1982-83
Source: Uploaded by user via NYIslanders on Pinterest
May 17, 1983: Not so fast, whipper-snappers. The Edmonton Oilers' steadily rising challenge for league supremacy took them all the way to the finals for the first time, where the New York Islanders summarily dispatched them in a four-game sweep. For the Islanders, the Dynasty was secured. For the Oilers, it was a powerful lesson in where talent ends and the demands of playoff hockey begin.
Four years, four Cups, 16 consecutive playoff series wins (a record that would grow to 19 until the rematch with the Oilers the following year). Mike Bossy scored 60 goals yet again, and Wayne Gretzky became acquainted with Billy Smith's crease.
