Commence Roster-Gazing: Islanders Recall Rhett Rakhshani, Kevin Poulin

Think that means Rolston is next on the scratchwagon?

Add some more offensive punch, at least, seemingly so to the third line. Also Deservingly with the tear he has had. I think at this point after 4 years of college, and a year and half in the AHL, Rhett knows what to do at this level and much like Ullstrom when he came up, will add what Bailey lacks, someone who can skate and put the puck in the net. Lets see some Roller Hockey hands.

a .gif file of kermit the frog freaking out would go well here.

We would have to AT LEAST throw in Mottau for that deal to work.

“For Sure Webbard”

and I was amazingly confused

because they know what they have with Ullstrom. He’s going to be a long term part of the team. But not so much with Rakh, and he had some real good chemistry with Bailey, so might as well give him a chance to see if that can carry over to the NHL

Because he was a rookie last year, so if he is under that type of deal, he’s not a RFA until next year right?

or if you check with Fornabaio tomorrow you might be able to confirm my assumption. Ullstron is getting some time at center, and the eventual spot for him is the fourth line center with a ceiling of REPLACE NIELSEN.
That would give them something that looks kind of like this next year (plus a BLUE CHIP commodity before the deadline)
Moulson-Tavares-Okposo
Grabner-Bailey-Parentau
Nino-Ullstrom-Strome
Martin-Reasoner-Wallace/haley/dibo

If that’s the end game they had better get a something SAAAAWEEET for Frans. If it’s not, then that’s fine, and Reasoner will have more pressure. Ullstrom will be in the NHL next year, but he’ll challenge for either a C or LW postition… whichever is more vital.

Hes looked like a magician with puck possession down there. If he can do that, be fast and back check like an animal here, he upgrades the D like crazy. Think about how good JB and Martin have looke like on the PK, and dream that RR brings more of that to even strength.

I hope that it works…and then they can get working in that 4th line and the 3rd D pairing.

What’s the Over & Under on a Rakh injury? Instead of F.I.G., let’s have a F.R.I.

Concussion at 32:45…assisted by Eric Stahl.

letting a much better player do all the work and living off him.

These are from

they both have the same smile now as they do when they were kids.

Moulson with the goofy wide grin, Martin with the smart aleck sneer.

all she ever did was catch whatever Snow wanted to leak…

“Looks like we’re gonna scratch Okposo tonight…”
“Can I quote you directly…”

“Hold on Katie… wait for the shake!”

But I’m assuming, like with most other outlets, once the team falls into the bottom of the standings, they start to get ignored.

Not surprising really, the Rags are in 1st in the conference, they deserve the coverage.

She did write a response piece on the under 25 JT snub though.

I’d never bother to follow her when she was covering the Isles, but I really need to start following Staple and Forbiano.

From the Danish reporter not too long ago. But I don’t think Snow gets to the grind and getting UFAs signed till February.

.. they won’t see your tweet, just as an fyi

I think Staple responded to me once… but that was way in the beginning.. his following could’ve increased and has since stopped responding to people

And I’ve been told “you ain’t right” a time or two! Roomed with a southerner.
