Jesse Joensuu returned to BPT
Isles twitter states JJ is being returned to BPT. Very interesting considering he was filling in for Moulson after he left last nights game. Hopefully this means all is OK (still no word). This also makes room if DP comes off IR Sunday.

Its since been taken down. Either way, he wouldn’t be able to be sent down due to the holiday roster freeze. The earliest he can be sent down is December 27th, after the Isles game on Sunday.
It was worth posting my drivel to get that link… That was the Shizzle my HansunFrizzle! - JPinVA
After being fired as head coach, now a "Special Adviser" to Lighthouse Hockey
I thought they could send players up and down
I see a couple other teams have assigned players today.
You mean to tell me shooting the puck from 70 feet out doesn't earn us extra goals?
I'm totally confused
Because you can do some reassigning during the freeze but I’m not sure what the conditions are and I think JJ wasn’t emergency recall. But too lazy to look it all up on holiday.

thats what i was wondering
The roster freeze I thought that meant the players had to stay put either with the team or in the minors
Any task BIG or small, Do it well or not at all

If this happens, then capuano really likes sim.
I’d prefer seeing what Jesse’s got over sim, but I guess cap thinks otherwise. Not taking anything from sim, but we know what he’s got and jesse has more potential and upside.
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)
Interesting
Yeah, Sim has been steady with Schremp and Comeau lately, and JJ dropped from Frans-Grabner once Bailey came back. I’d kind of like to see JJ vs. Sim too, though Sim has been fine there giving that line a little tazmanian devil aspect.

JJ's body and Sim's persistency
would do a great job! Christmas wish…
Ha
Too true. “We shall build the perfect banger…”

JJ's time is running out
RFA this summer so who knows if he gets another chance on LI. Isles should have some new blood coming to Bridgeport next year so JJ might be feeling the squeeze. At 23 he is getting kind of old to be considered a prospect.. JJ was selected in the 2006 draft which Garth didn’t run so you know how that goes. I guess having him on the fourth line isn’t going to help him. I’ve about written him off not that I’m going to lose sleep over it .Isles have plenty of LW’s maybe not great ones but plenty of them.
Good point.
I thought he was younger. His time is running out but it hasn’t run out yet. If this is what he is at 23 its hard to imagine him being a top 6 forward by 26, which, for those who don’t know is when the average player peaks. Still I like his game. He needs to get a little bit better but I can see him being a very useful 3rd or 4th liner. One thing he’s not is a banger. He’s big and he goes to the front of the net but he’s not very aggressive physically.

Never Hits
’cos it hurts – or you think its going to hurt.
Just a Paper Trade
Probably moved to B-Port on paper to save $$. They do it all the time.
Not surprised about ...
Joensuu. He’s been disappointing. Like Comeau, he’s got a lot of going for him physically. Maybe great shooting and finishing skills are not among them, but lots guys with his size and strength and mobility find ways to power the puck into the net, or get it to someone who can. And again like Comeau but even more so, his strong shifts are way too sporadic to justify keeping him here. It’s a shame. I was hoping for power-forward like production from the guy but have seen only Herman Munster/Oleg Kvasha type play instead. I really hoped for more from the guy.

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.

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

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.
