yahoo fantasy hockey is starting to suck big time
I have Ehrhoff, Buffalo waits 2 weeks to stick him on IR and then when they do, it takes yahoo another 3 days to notify us
now he comes off IR and they dont even have anything about it, so he is still on IR in the league, which means I cant use him until they take him off.

Bad news: -6 Corsi to start the game shows what we're all seeing is real.
Good News: we’ve blocked 9 shots to their 0, meaning it hasn’t hurt us really.
And yes this is WAY too early stats, and we’re up 1-0! But well this is why we’re not being out shot in SOG.

I think we need to clone JT, MM and KO.
We need 4 lines of these players.

Lou Lamorillo would figure out a way to get 2 of those lines from us.
I don’t want JT Clones on the Devils.
Seriously, why are you including KO with those 2?
Writer at Beyond the Box Score and The Hardball Times
Pitchf/x enthusiast.
http://twitter.com/#!/garik16
Because of the chemistry between the three.
The work ethic, too. Also, because I don’t think other clubs would allow us cloning access to their stars. EA Sports would.
Tick-tock, tick-tock, tick-tock...
you saw the same chemistry with Parenteau.
There’s no evidence that Okposo is more than lucky window dressing.
Writer at Beyond the Box Score and The Hardball Times
Pitchf/x enthusiast.
http://twitter.com/#!/garik16
I don't think it's that so much
As just seeing if a bigger body would help out. Yeah the chemistry was there with Parenteau but Okposo has a bigger body and is more apt to get to the corners and is stronger on the point. His game seems to fit better with Tavares and Moulson. I also think that putting Parenteau on the second line with Frans and Grabs makes that line a bit better, even though Okposo’s style would lend itself to those two guys getting open more than Parenteau’s puck handling.
by IDCWhoYouLike on Jan 24, 2012 7:35 PM EST up reply actions
Yay, personal opinions!
Like I said, there’s no evidence whatsoever that the Okposo switch has helped JT-MM, or FN-Grabs. JT-MM have been producing ALL year, regardless of linemate. FN has been the super sturdy defender all year (Grabs is another question).
You like Okposo because you’ve been told about him being a star for so long, but he hasn’t ADDED anything. It’s all just biased opinion.

by IDCWhoYouLike on Jan 24, 2012 7:41 PM EST up reply actions
Yay, soapboxes!
Why nitpick every time someone says something nice about Okposo? It only comes off as your own personal bias-driven agenda.
And projecting that someone else likes a player “because you’ve been told about him being a star” is even worse: Don’t act like the cold, impartial arbiter of truth and in the same breath put B.S. into someone else’s mouth.

Quibble quibble quibble.
I’m not going to quibble over the contents of a joke post I made. If you want to get technical, cloning of full humans is currently ill-advised in America because of the high likelihood of our clones enslaving us to build them a ship to their own Earth. Or send us away to find our own Earth as they believe their status entitles them to our Earth. World War IV. I’ve seen it a hundred times….

He’s fine. And 100 times easier to take than that preening gasbag Joe Buck or Tony “wow the intensity is really intense down here, guys” Siragusa.

that today, Dobber said (on twitter) that some of the stuff he was charging for will be free again.

Probably didn’t get as many subscribers as he thought, and had to know that people were going to create another way to get the same stats. Most likely he had a downturn of traffic which cost him ad revenue that wasn’t made up by subscribers.
It’s funny cause I found a 2007 post by him asking HF boards if they would pay for the stats he eventually put together. I think it was mostly no.

They can take shots at JT with no officiating recourse. Hamonic roughs up Kessel, Kessel punches and punches back … and Hamonic in the box.

What do you think this taught Hamonic as a young NHL’r?
Next time you may are well punch back. Next time Kessel gets hurt in this exchange instead of Hamonic being classy.
You still captured the spirit of the thing
Thing is, I still figure he gets screwed in the exchange. No consistency, so it’s like guessing what North Korea does next.

Why was it a 2 on 1? Because 1 of the 2 Isles back (forgive me I was at the game and missed exactly who it was) was fucking knocked over before the play got there. Its fucking interference. NO CALL.

they are smart though...
they didn’t call the islanders for phantom penatlies, because that woudl just be a waste of time… the leafs can’t score on the PP anyway… so if you let the boys play… WIN WIN… but they only sent the memo to the leafs.

I dunno...
I hate talkin about the refs, cuz they almost always do an OK job…but god, I can’t help but notice an apparent bias towards the Islanders. I’m not saying we are the only team who ever got bad calls, get bad calls presently and ever WILL get bad calls, but damn. It feels like all season long, and its just really discouraging/detrimental/damaging to a young team like the Isles who are trying hard night in and night out to establish themselves in the NHL.

Bias against the Isles, not for...
I can honestly say there has been no game in which there was a boas FOR the Islanders. Seriously. They are either fair games or we get the short end of the stick. On this H&H however, the stick got shoved right up the Isles collective ass.

Only 16 PP's for the opposition in the last 11 games
Are League officials so hard up for the Leafs to make the playoffs that the fix is in? I hope the Rangers/Bruins wax their a.. in the 1st round which shows you how ticked I am.
In my opinion, the Islanders have NO choice after tonight but to file a formal complaint with Daly's office......
…..this is, by far, the WORST display of bias and corruption I’ve seen in over 4o years of being a hockey fan…..

Look- all Im saying is that its pointless to call for this, JT is not staying home. But if you want to, all it will do is lead to criticism of JT for going anyway. I dont see the point.

JT should go
the All-Star game is a fluff piece designed for the fans to enjoy the stars of the game and it is an honor to go regardless of how NHL officiating has screwed over your team. There are generally no/few penalties in the All-Star game (although, Hartnell).
As for Tim Thomas, a man who objects going to the White House for an honor that is not at all political, while having expressed his admiration of Glenn Beck, a caricature of an overblown gasbag of a psychotic who ruffles feathers over the least harmful of events…well, that’s just stupid. (IMO)

goal… definitely interference call… puck isn’t there yet, and he just gets dropped from behind.. checking from behind, interference, maybe a cross-check.. whatever you wanna call it… it’s a penalty

If they don't want to get clobbered
Then clobber back. Didn’t they learn from last year? We can’t expect protection from refs (although tonight was ridiculous), so we have to do it ourselves. We have the guys to do it, just not here.
How telling is it that the only time Bailey can score is when he is not saddled with the Mule? Even one man down is better than skating with Rolston. C’mon Garth, open your eyes and do the right thing already. Bring up Ullstrom to skate with Frans and Martin and move Bailey up with PAP and Grabs. Neilson is not a 2nd line center. It’s time to the 2nd half of the season to see if Bailey is. Just can’t continue with thses same shitty lines.
Despite the very frustrating last 2 games, the 2nd half could be fun if they bring up some balls and some talent, including some dmen, cut loose the dead weight and let the youth be served.
For the record
there are a few comments over at PPP saying the Leafs got away with a number of penalties. That’s how you know it’s bad – when the guys who won the game notice it, too. Apparently, they played a game against Ottawa where the same thing happened to the Leafs, so they’re taking the karma route.

not only do I hate the leafs and 90 percent of their fans, but the refs made me yell more at the game than anything else. Just ridiculous.
Even the blue-blooded Toronto Sportsnet crew commented on the officiating on their the post-game
They made half a dozen comments like “pre-lockout officiating”, “never seen anything like that”, and “refs already on all-star break”.

It was mostly Kypreos who seemed well aware the Leafs got away with a lot
But Morrisson made the comment “for both sides”. Obviously, theret wasn’t an equal amount of non-calls.
Yeah, your color guy’s bite back was a bit like a chihuahua nipping at the heals. I’d say the refs deserved an “F” for the “fix is in.”

1979-80
Source: Uploaded by user via NYIslanders on Pinterest
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
Source: Uploaded by user via NYIslanders on Pinterest
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
Source: Uploaded by user via NYIslanders on Pinterest
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.
