If you're visiting from Islanders Point Blank (where Chris Botta has again humbled me with kind words), this is our Lighthouse Hockey game thread. It's like an in-game, instantly updating chat, except a little more wide open, and you can reply to specific comments with quotes and links and such. Tip: The reply button is your friend. So are the other commenters on this site.
If you're commenting: Be cool. Be friendly. Be witty. Be here because you have a common interest in the success of the New York Islanders hockey club. The only reason I do this is to discuss the Islanders in a half-way coherent way, and to have a bit of fun and razzing while watching hockey with the fellas (and gals) like at your neighborhood pub.
About the site: If you have interesting links, a pic, a video, you can post them in a comment or in a FanShot with your own commentary. If you have something much longer and more elaborate to say -- an examination of roster depth or the best goaltenders in Islanders history, for example, you can post a FanPost.

Ilya Kovalchuk
Ilya Kovalchuk has been traded to the New Jersey Devils. The often speculated Ilya Kovalchuk trade is expected to be finalized tonight. Heading to Atlanta is a package that includes Johnny Oduya. Stay tuned to Hockeyleaks for the latest as it unfolds..

Not that your source may not be true but since the rise of Eklund there seems to be a lot of bullshitters trying to follow his lead.
Eklund is the king of BS and is not associated with hockey leaks

Witt....
Howie just said Witt’s NHL career is over? I never thought that was the plan? Does anyone believe Wtt is done?
Move to Flushing, Queens, Charles Wang!! Get away from the insane politics of Nassua
It's possible
A guy like that can’t get picked up on the Waiver Wire is not a good sign.
Certainly possible
If he gets bought out, I could see a team doing the McKee with him. If they don’t buy him out, maybe he gets the Sim retrial. But outlook isn’t good.

Thus far the Isles still look like the same disjointed team we've seen through out this losing streak
Not much looks to have changed.
I think the loss of Bailey may have been the final straw for this team.
Oh come on..its the first period of the end of your season theories aren’t good
Move to Flushing, Queens, Charles Wang!! Get away from the insane politics of Nassua

End of season?
I never even took the position ONCE the whole year that this was even a playoff team. Most here who I’ve posted with will back me on that. I predicted and maintained througout the season that this was a bubble team and would fall off…..right about…..NOW!!!
Is Bailey a Healthy scratch or injured?

Wouldn’t be shocked if Hitchcock’s next landing spot is in Boston.
Given the Bruins dissapointing year and bad streak would not be shocked if they are thinking of pulling the plug on Julien so they can hire Hitchcock.
That would be interesting. But an odd move, since there’d hardly be a change of style there.

So: Kovalchuk in New Jersey
Thoughts?
I am excited for the first time Lemaire benches him for not familiarizing himself with his own zone.
Lighthouse Hockey: Under contract through 2021, knees and hips be damned.
He went cheap. Compared to what they wanted from LA, that deal looked almost too easy to pull off.
Move to Flushing, Queens, Charles Wang!! Get away from the insane politics of Nassua
Stephane Richer wasn't the best in his own zone
but I recall Lemaire holding his nose for the offensive benetit (pun).
It a good trade for them
They need offense bad. Lets face it the Devils needed a image player. They have a nice new arena and they need to get people tpo come to Newark. Kovalchuk will help.
Stephane Richer wasn’t the best in his own zone

Desperation shot for the Devils to win the Cup this year, Brodeur only has so many more years. Especially when you only give your backup 5 starts all year.

Glad I passed on the game tonight
Otherwise Isles wouldn’t have scored. Good 1st period. Nice work by Tambellini late to draw the penatly.
That moment when Tamby drew the penalty was the most obvious time he was on the ice.
Move to Flushing, Queens, Charles Wang!! Get away from the insane politics of Nassua
The lesson in this:
Clearly, Hedman fears Tambellini.
Lighthouse Hockey: Under contract through 2021, knees and hips be damned.
Hedman has been bad as of late
They have been ripping him the last month or so
Rite of passage for the guy
A long road for him. He’ll be a force for sure; curious to see how his offense develops.

Off-Topic: LOST Garners Biggest Numbers since 2005!
Hey, all – boys seem to be hanging in, from what little I can glean of the box score…..great 2-hour premiere Tuesday night of LOST (man, gonna MISS it next season!) and it did 6% better, winning the time slot – AGAINST American Idol! Back to shinny: of ALL the teams I thought that wouldn’t pick Ilya up, NJD was right at the TOP of the list……
I never expected NJD at all — even after they appeared in rumors the last two days.
Nice to hear American Idol did not dominate the consciousness for one night.

One day, when the fall of Western civ. is written…
Lighthouse Hockey: Under contract through 2021, knees and hips be damned.
Are the Devils planing to sign him?
According to this report, he turned down a 12 year 101 Million dollar Contract from the Thrashers. At least you can’t say the Thrashers didn’t come to the table with a good offer.
"So basically, the Stats make no sense whatsoever."
He's more than likely to test the market
He’ll get his money.
From who it remains to be seen.
Russia, I bet. If he wants what ATL offered, an NHL franchise would be crazy to commit max money to a deficient player. A guy gets 20% of your payroll, he needs to play 100% in both directions.
Lighthouse Hockey: Under contract through 2021, knees and hips be damned.
I'm with you
I think he’s going home. Why would any NHL player think he should be paid more then O.V. or Sid?
IT'S STARTING TO LOOK LIKE 1975
And he can’t use the excuse that the Thrashers haven’t improved, which is what he was claiming before the season started. They are in a possible playoff position and subtracting him obviously hurts their chances to get in.
"So basically, the Stats make no sense whatsoever."
And if he was worried about the stability of the franchise, take the shorter deal. I’m sure his dick agent played a part in this, but he wanted to have his cake and eat it too.
Lighthouse Hockey: Under contract through 2021, knees and hips be damned.
KHL has that oil money to pay it
I could see that happening.
Okposo back on the PP point
Weight down on the left wing boards. That didn’t look any better. They didn’t get anyone open for a shot. TB pressured well, but…
Lighthouse Hockey: Under contract through 2021, knees and hips be damned.
I’ve always been one to prefer to get a ton of shots on a goalie as compared to finessing it around the net too much. That’s why I wouldn’t mind seeing DiBendetto get called up for a game or two. He leads BP in shots, and is 20th in the league in Shots on Goal.
"So basically, the Stats make no sense whatsoever."
Streit the Mensch
Fantastic play breaking up Lecavalier’s 2-on-1 after Comeau muffed it at the point.

Talk about getting complacent after you score
WTF was that?
Well, that sucked
St. Louis powers that through short side, I don’t know how.
Lighthouse Hockey: Under contract through 2021, knees and hips be damned.
This is a running theme...
Islanders have a great period (usually the 2nd) and only allow 1-3 shots on net and one goes in.
"So basically, the Stats make no sense whatsoever."
Awful goal for Roloson to let up
He has to make up for that moment
Ohmigod
2-on-0?! At least it was just Lecavalier, he’s not that good or anything.
MacDonald pinched up and Bergie’s pass to him went impotent. Don’t know where the other two were.
Lighthouse Hockey: Under contract through 2021, knees and hips be damned.
Lecavalier, he’s not that good or anything.
The Isles had this period…now it’s gone…..and how the players must feel ……
But Dom? Vinny isn’t that good? come one man.

Juuuust a bit of sarcasm.
And to add, without sarcasm: It looked pretty badass for VL4 to be celebrating a goal with blood streaming down his face. He’ll want that one framed.

Looks like this team is headed for the lottery
Before the season I didn’t think the conference was gonna be this tight. I figured we’d have some seperation from the bottom by the time we fell out of the playoff bubble.
Well, there isn’t much seperating these teams and the Isles don’t have the talent to take a game off, mush less a shift off, and expect to win games.
Fowler her we come.
Funny you mention that. The thing that worried me at the beginning of the year was I couldn’t figure out who should be at the bottom of the conference. Knew the Isles improved, but I couldn’t think of a logical bottom-feeder(s) for them to leap over.
Lighthouse Hockey: Under contract through 2021, knees and hips be damned.
I had a feeling we'd catch a few teams not taking us seriously
Don’t think many teams right now are taking this team for granted.
turnaround
how do they look that good and that bad in minutes? Gotta blame the coach
by Lakewood Islander on Feb 4, 2010 8:57 PM EST via mobile reply actions
The coach
So, what, Gordon said “Roloson: allow a bad-angle goal. Rest of you guys, someone high stick Vinny so he stays down behind the play, opening up a 2-on-0 when your pass goes awry.”?
I don’t follow the chain of blame there. They responded to a bad first period by playing very well in the 2nd — even forcing a TB timeout — until two quick plays went very wrong.
Lighthouse Hockey: Under contract through 2021, knees and hips be damned.
I should add I’m very open to criticisms of the coaching, I just need some specifics to buy in. Lack of creativity with the PP, for one.
Lighthouse Hockey: Under contract through 2021, knees and hips be damned.
Dammit Nitty
It was your turn to let in a short-side goal. Follow the script please.
Lighthouse Hockey: Under contract through 2021, knees and hips be damned.
Howie Just mentioned Rollie with that save made his entry to the 09-10 Highlight reel. I think Rollie’s made enough insane saves this year to have a good 5-10 minutes of saves.
"So basically, the Stats make no sense whatsoever."

So is hockey pretty much done in Atlanta?
What do the fans in Atlanta have to hope for now?
Good question
What do the fans in Atlanta have to hope for now?
New ownership and a new GM? Both have really held that market back. They have been virtually the 1995-2005 Islanders, minus the tradition to fall back on.
Lighthouse Hockey: Under contract through 2021, knees and hips be damned.
And now you can add the Milbury-ish GM tradin your best player
Move to Flushing, Queens, Charles Wang!! Get away from the insane politics of Nassua
I don't think that was Milburyish at all
You have to be impressed that Atlanta pulled off Oduya and a first round pick for a rental player. Kovalchuk’s value on the market dropped considering it’s going to be difficult to resign the guy.
That wasn’t much for the return…they should have gotten alot more. ATL wanted 5 guys and a draft pick from LA.
Move to Flushing, Queens, Charles Wang!! Get away from the insane politics of Nassua
That’s what they wanted, but that crazy talk considering the risk involved in renting him. Sounds like LA was only ever going to offer prospects.
I find it offensive ATL swapped 2nd rounders with NJ though.
Lighthouse Hockey: Under contract through 2021, knees and hips be damned.
and no Calgary to move to
What hockey fans they have left have to be turned off. Too many other options in Atlanta for sports fans. Today could be the beginning of the end for Thrashers in Atlanta.
football, baseball and Basketball…
The Olympics was an attempt to put Atlanta on the map….so much for that idea

The Hawks have always struggled from what I know.
The only reason the Falcons are fine is because its football.
"So basically, the Stats make no sense whatsoever."
Yeah that market has always been a riddle. I would have liked to see a legitimate try though, a San Jose-type. People can really fall for hockey when it’s delivered right.

Sim
Those who thought Tambellini was better than Sim. Tamby played alot last year and got 7 goals. Sim has played most of this year on the 3rdd or 4th lines, and has 8.

That pipleline is now starting to trickle up a bit.
Team needs a changing of the guard at the top
Wit is out.
Time to move Weight and Hunter.
Those guys have outlived their usefullness. Hand this team over to Bailey, Okposo and Tavares and be done with it.

This losing streak is getting old
Losing wears a guy down. The emotional feelings must be so low.
Move to Flushing, Queens, Charles Wang!! Get away from the insane politics of Nassua
It's a shame
because tonight they had effort. That bad goal by Roloson turns things around in 2nd then the flukey 2 on 0.
That did feel like a turning point.
Lighthouse Hockey: Under contract through 2021, knees and hips be damned.
They look so fragile now
Rebound in the 2nd, everything going well — then bam. 3-2 and they’re taking risks to try to get one freaking goal back.

Wonder if we can waive him and bring up someone with some speed and spirit?

I know one thing, I wouldn’t say, “You were invisible tonight. Now you sit for 30 days.”
Lighthouse Hockey: Under contract through 2021, knees and hips be damned.
One could make the same case for a lot of guys on this team
The fact that he drew a penalty was more than what you got from 50% of the team tonight.
Tamby serves as a bad sample given that he’s been in the press box for months and a good portion of this team played worse. Bergenheim, and I can’t believe he’s skated this long with no critisism, as well as Park are having worse seasons than Tambellini. And Tambellini hasn’t played as much as those guys.
Tamby played 65 games last year. He had 7 goals. That is the best he could do, given the chance to play.
Move to Flushing, Queens, Charles Wang!! Get away from the insane politics of Nassua
Look at the stats this year
He’s tied with Bergenheim in points and Bergie has played 16 more games.
Park has two more points and has played 2 more games. Not to mention one of the worst +/- on the team. That’s pretty crappy for a guy who’s supposed to reknowned for his D.
Tambellini is far from the worse player on this team.
But last year was a disaster for everyone, he was still getting jerked around at age 24, and he improved after his demotion. The ice time he got in those 65 games was the lowest of any regular forwards.
I don’t think he’s some hidden gem by any means, but I don’t think they can complete the book on him without giving him some legit time without measuring him by different standards from the rest of the team.
Lighthouse Hockey: Under contract through 2021, knees and hips be damned.
Let him step up to the kind of guy Hunter is. Good shot, tough in the corners…
Move to Flushing, Queens, Charles Wang!! Get away from the insane politics of Nassua
Hunter is a useless perimeter player
He’s EVERYTHING fans used to get on Tambellini for.
Hunter is slower than shit rolling down hill on a hot day. I don’t care how good his shot is if he rarely has the ability or sense to get into the scoring areas. Hunter has not gotten better over the years either. HE"S GOTTEN WORSE!!!!
The only reason why people like him is cause he’s like the skinniest kid at fat camp. For years this team was devoid of that kind of player. Now that Okposo has emerged Hunter doesn’t look so good. Okposo played the game we all hoped Hunter would play when he broke into the league.
My expectations for Bergenheim have maxed out at good penalty killer and physical player. I’ve given up on hoping for a big offensive side.
Lighthouse Hockey: Under contract through 2021, knees and hips be damned.
I saw Tambellini have a good shift in 3rd with JT
No Jeff didn’t have much of impact but he certainly wasn’t the reason the Isles lost tonight. Isles PP flat out stinks. When I see Weight having to work hard and pass to a no talent like Park it makes you ill. Isles should cut Weight a break and let him go.
I don’t think they will anything about Weight. He is important t the younger guys. Park has a job on this team…PK
Move to Flushing, Queens, Charles Wang!! Get away from the insane politics of Nassua
The "younger guys" have surpassed Weight
Okposo and Bailey are no longer wet behind the ears rookies and are on their way.
I think the team is ready to cut the chord with Weight.
Isles lost to a Bolts team with 4 or 5 name guys and a hot goalie. Of which we have neither.
Move to Flushing, Queens, Charles Wang!! Get away from the insane politics of Nassua
They have a real well balanced team
The Lightning didn’t play all that well tonight but like you said talent took over.
