Nabby in. Dylan Reese too. Ryan Strome will have facial surgery for "a couple cracks in his cheekbone" (h/t ArsenalLI).

So he'll fit in well here then. (Also in that article: I don't know what a Kühnhackl is, but it sounds like something I would enjoy with a beer and some mustard.)

That whole list is so ridiculous, it doesn't deserve credibility

When an extremely casual hockey fan (me) can name 4 extremely glaring omissions, it’s not worth the time of day.

Go Isles.

Sorry, but it’s hard to make many useful contributions when I can’t watch the friggin’ game. I’ll duck in every once in a while, but for now I’m going to stare at a blank wall to completely empty my thoughts. That’s the only way I think I can understand how the NFL can support their referees’ desecration of the rule book, decency, and common sense.

Yep.

For those who haven’t heard yet, the League defended that call. Defended it.

Seriously… WTF?

Do they think that by backing their abysmal officiating, that they can somehow replace the Giants with the Packers in the title game????

Tonights Interesting Factiod

Josh Bailey is playing his 255th game as an Islander, tying him with Pierre Turgeon and putting him 3 games behind Beniot Hogue for games played with the team.

It is amazing that Turgeon was only here for such a short time

and is one of the best Isles during the last 25 years. I guess that talks more about the success of the team since he was traded than his actual accomplishments.

then Bailey better get to work with many many goals and assists tonight

so he can match what Turgeon did in the amount of games he played

Kühnhackl

Sounds like some kind of Pennsylvania Dutch dish I’d have at my grandma’s in central PA. I’ll take a stab: take some pig stomach, stuff it with some corn, potatoes, butter, chunks of lebanon bologna, liver scraps, and another minced pig stomach, coat it with lard, cook til crispy, and serve it sliced with some grayish gravy with a side of souse. De-lish. Definitely good with a beer and some mustard.

I don't know if this is a popular idea

I mistook the line combos before but it got me to thinking…

I could actually see Grabs, Frans and Rolston as a good line, and by contrast I could see Martin, Bailey and PAP as a good line. I think the speed/defensive acumen of Grabs and Frans make up for Rolston’s inability to play the puck deep. While at the same time, I think Martin’s size, Bailey’s ability to make plays could complement PAP’s style.

Groins to sports hernia, Green:DiPietro

I don’t remember how the DP injury thread (episode 17) ran its course, but to the point about didn’t the docs know back in early December, this is what I meant about how these often go. Here’s the Caps/McPhee describing the process with Green:

Green suffered the intial injury back on Nov. 11 at New Jersey when he was hit awkwardly in the corner by Devils forward Ryan Carter. McPhee said that the Capitals’ medical staff consulted with Brunt in those early stages and didn’t think surgery was necessary at that point. So they opted to take the conservative, non-invasive route. When the conservative approach ultimately didn’t work out with the tear in Green’s stomach lining not healing entirely, they changed to the more aggressive approach and decided to move forward with surgery.

"You never want to open anybody up to surgery if it’s not necessary, you always take the conservative approach and we did," McPhee said. "Parts of it went real well and one part [the tear in Green’s stomach] didn’t. We need to repair the one area and it will now eliminate the unknown. Sometimes when you take the conservative approach it takes awhile and you don’t really know when the player is going to be ready. With this procedure we know when the player should be ready."

But upon further review, he shoved him in the lower back as he was going to the boards. That’s a no-no.

Could be

But that’s also the risk when you go into the boards behind somebody. Both of Ovi’s gloves were on his lower back and extended.

Okay, that's an odd penalty call. That better have been some real bad unsportsmanlike behavior.

Because a ref has no business basically killing off the Caps like that.

And if he doesn't play Rinne then people say he is taking us lightly.

he carried on normal business. Like he should. IT was Rinne’s start, and he got it. His backup got the start the next day. That’s how it is supposed to be.

Ha, we had the same though, in separate threads

One possibility could be that Rangers offense was already struggling lately (something like 5 goals in 4 games), while the JT attack requires the powers of a giant Finn with a funny name?

Isles Reading

Islanders Schedule

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


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.
