PrintLos Angeles Kings at New York Islanders, Feb 11, 2012 1:00 PM EST
Morning notes from Isles and Newsday: Evgeni Nabokov starts. Brian Rolston is in for Rhett Rakhshani. Aaron Ness is to be paired with Andrew MacDonald. Kyle Okposo is to stay on the JT line.
Sounds like Trent Hunter is in for the Isles. And some brother-in-law of Matt Moulson.

The lockout hurt
but I think he always wanted to go back home and was never comfortable here in the US. The Islanders have not overcome the loss of his services since the end of the 2003-2004 season.
When Kenny Jonsson was acquired for Wendel Clark back in early 1996 (which was one of the first moves made by Mike Milbury as GM) I thought the Isles were in good hands.
Boy was I wrong :(
Same here
I thought we had loaded up on good young talent:
Jonsson Traded from Toronto Maple Leafs with Sean Haggerty, Darby Hendrickson and round 1 pick in the 1997 draft to New York Islanders for Wendel Clark, Mathieu Schneider and D.J. Smith
The pick ended up being either Luongo or Brewer.

Love the Kings callups getting numbers in the 70s (assuming that's not their preferred)
Always in favor of the public shaming “Earn it first” of giving them high numbers first, making them earn the good ones.
Plus, jersey geeks can be torn over whether to buy early on a Hamonic or wait until he drops to single digits.

Nino on JT's and KO's line
Having to split attention atm (installing Linux on my old laptop) but did something happen to Moulson?
Something I've seen a couple of times that I don't like
it seems like the Kings (fairly often) throw hits while a guy is already engaged with another guy…and often pretty high. Ness just got one, and I think the other was down in the offensive zone. Might have been Rolston, and I think Pandolfo took one like that near the bench.
Just something to look for, but it looks like they’ve been told to throw some weight around today.

Because of the Curse of the Jack Adams award
Lavi had a career. The guy who won it was Bob Francis for getting the Yotes to the playoffs, and the other Nominees were Ftorek (Bruins) and Sutter (Hawks)
Proving that the Jack Adams Award is a curse. Also this:
On April 26, 2006 Francis signed a two year-contract to coach HIFK in the Finnish SM-liiga. On December 19, 2006 Francis’s contract was terminated

Got to see a lot of Denver v. Minnesota last night. Mayfield looked fairly good. Talent is clearly there. Blocked a few shots, broke up a rush by Bjugstead, and had a primary assist on a PP goal (but it was a softie).
In the second period I almost threw up, a Gopher caught him knee-on-knee (accidental) and he went off for the rest of the period, but he was back in the third and looked fine. Mobile for a big guy, moves the puck crisply. I want to see him a few more times to make sure, but it looked promising.

Or is it mandated by the NHL? I’m not talking about the “this team needs to win tonight, this team we don’t have to worry about,” mind you. I’m talking about the NHL worrying about the perception that the Refs are deciding games, and so they are reluctant to call penalties when the penalty call could effect the outcome of the game.

Honestly it makes me think that this is probably a strategy the kings use a lot given their low GA on the season.

I think was taken in Poland, with the band doing their parts for the actual video. They have a lot of pretty good songs like that, even a version of wild rover that I think is better than most versions I’ve heard.

Is this similar to LARP'ing?
Or is that a totally different thing?
Official choice of Lighthouse Dog #1.
Depends. I mean you can call it LARP’ing, but the big difference is that we are actually trying to educate people on how battles looked back in the period. Markland (the Org I’m in) is actually a not for Profit educational group. Most of the guys I know will get pissed if you call it a LARP, but it seems to be the most common word out there for what we do. Especially since re-enactors are usually what the live steel guys are called.

Contributor to Lighthouse Hockey not sure if I'm the Sniper or the Enforcer.
I think LARP'ing is different
more of a fantasy thing than a re-enactment. My dad used to take my brother and I to Civil War re-enactments all the time when we were younger. I hated it when I was young, but now I find it cool. I don’t know how you could do a medieval re-enactment without quoting Monty Python and the Holy Grail non-stop.

Somehow they got two points
Second time this week they probably deserved to lose but a veteran bailed them out again.
and yet the game we deserved to win
we lost, thats how the game goes sometimes

Nabby sounds like an irishman
You should've seen her face. It was the exact same look my father gave me when I told him I wanted to be a ventriloquist.
never heard him speak before,
was expecting more of a semin interview….

I'd rather take the opportunity to sign him
Nabby’s been here and seems to be enjoying himself. I’m willing to take the risk and ride him the rest of the season than to just trade him for a 3rd rounder.

They aren't making the playoffs
Even if they did they would get smoked in the 1st round.
why even watch then?
I am tired of people telling me this when there are 2 months to go in the season
if we cant believe that this team can get in than what is the point?

Still need to make moves to get to the next level
Im watching for the future too
it is a very bright one, but didn’t this team find a way to make up a 6 point gap in 1 week to make their last playoff appearance?, 8 points with 27 games left is doable, wont be easy, but it is doable.

Well,
the first round could be against The Rangers. Not that we might not get smoked, but there would be blood in the aisles at the Coliseum. The entertainment factor would be huge.
that and who cares if they get beat in the 1st round if they get in?
The playoff experience would be great for this team, of course we want them to win, but you cant tell me that getting into the playoffs even if we lose in round 1 is a bad thing

Nevermind the filthy move for the gamewinner..
(in which he carried the puck from the red line.. THE RED LINE… past 3 king defenders… THREE…)
Streit had himself a nice game.. seemed to make less dumb plays and more smart plays…. looked a lot more like the offensive threat throughout the game.. remember him maneuvering around guys in the o-zone on a couple occasions
by BaltimoreIslander on Feb 11, 2012 3:48 PM EST reply actions
Not a Wishart move either
Really it would be a smart move by Garth long term.
Why would you be so quick to get rid of this guy?
he is the reason this team has any chance in the playoff race…
Because I don't believe they will make the playoffs and he won't re-sign
I want value for the asset.
We will not get anything worth while...
a 3rd or 4th round pick is not worth giving up any chance we have…We’re 8 pts out…Thats just 4 games…We have 4 game’s in hand…If we win those games we’re tied. So have some faith…
exactly
there are 2 months left in the season, plenty of time
wont be easy, but we can do it

Isles fans keep sayin we have no chance
but we obviously do…
and odds say we don't
This team is not capable of a run as they are short of talent especially scoring talent. I like what I see for the most part but really 2012-2013 is the big picture for me. I would like to see Nabokov traded for a prospect or draft pick so they get value for him that is if he let’s the Isles trade him.
But as I was saying....
chances are we wont get much of value that will make a difference
What value do you think there is in a third or fourth?
The truth is, the Isles don’t need to restock their system like they did three or four years ago. They won’t miss an extra mid-level pick or B-prospect. I think there’s more value in making a playoff push and using Nabokov to win games rather than just flip him for minimal return. Had the Isles been close last season like they are this season, Roloson wouldn’t have gone anywhere either.
We may be in the box, but you get the penalty.

Here's another interesting angle
Is a contender going to sign Nabby for a couple of years at a few million? Chances are, no. So he may not want to move twice and have to go through the free agency saga like that…especially if he really is starting to like it here. It may be just as likely that because he’s older, he doesn’t want to do the nomad thing and wants the stability and paycheck here.

wouldn’t mind to add him to the team, granted price is right. wouldn’t pay anything more than a 4th rounder for him. Would be a decent fit on that 3rd line.

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

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.
