May a well repeat this
The marjinally talented John Tavares is the NHL’s first star of the month.
So pumped!!!
Can’t wait to see the boys tonight!! Big game tonight. Let’s go islanders!!!!!
Im torn between listening to Butch and Howie or Potvin
Why yes, I do have a man crush on Bailey and Martin, and no, I don't care what you think about it
Howie “Do you feel any pressure to have to make a decision on your UFA s so that you don’t get burned without getting anything for them?”
Garth – “Only pressure from you right now.”

Just watched the pre-game interview with Konopka.
I still like him. All “teh gritz” jokes aside, the Isles needed players like him last year to turn a corner. They needed a player willing to yell “we aren’t doormats” to a reporter, and willing to do the hard work of punching other players in the face to make sure those players understand that doormat idea. I venture to guess that Martin learned a lot from Konopka and Gillies about standing up for his teammates in a mature way rather than those run-and-gun hits that led to penalties or odd-man situations.
I hope Konopka finds success in his career (even if he returns to the island). Also, fuck that fan at the blue and white scrimmage who douchely waved his Konopka t-shirt at Snow.

I remember seeing an interview with him last year
whoever it was asked how many times it had been broken and he nonchalantly said “that’d be a baker’s dozen”
"Brasky once hosted the Grammy's and gave every award to Cory Hardt."
I agree, and I make teh gritz jokes
He was brought in for a specific purpose and he did it. He has warts, no doubt, so I thought it was time to move on (still happy they did … they need to focus on building a fourth-line team). But I wish him the best. Time served. Fun character.

Huge game here, we have 4 games in hand on the Sens, if we win, we are then 11 points behind them
I look at the standings I can see teams like Ottawa, Florida and Toronto falter. Why? because they have done that a lot at this time of the year in recent memory

How can they even mention playoffs?
When they start talking like this they start sounding like Wang’s yes men. Can’t even begin thinking playoffs till this team is at least 4 pts out of eighth. After dropping a home at home vs Toronto those hopes are pretty well dashed.

But Butch annoys me when he makes excuses for the refs…When they missed a call on Alfredson…Her said that the refs thinking is “you can get away with that because you earned it”…WTF is that? Hes earned the right to break the rules because hes a been playing a long time?
There is no explaining the refs

4th: Original 6 teams
5th: Teams in major markets
6th: Everyone else
7th: Teams that are expected to suck

That last Eaton pass before the Senators offside call exemplifies everything that is wrong with our defensive ability to move the puck

He had some good shot blocks
I still don’t think he moved the puck well and he, along with the rest of our defense were slow which allowed the Sens to apply forecheck pressure by dumping the puck in deep and beating our defense to the boards. But I digress a win is a win.

Not much politically they can do
The referendum for a very equitable money share was shot down. Options for private plans won’t come forward because they know the town of hempstead is going to kill anything that could possibly make money for the developers. We’re in a state of limbo in Nassau unless Katie Murray decides to change her mind.

Alright, I have to say
It’s cheesy to insert “as I first reported two weeks ago” about the preseason game into the second graph of a story not about the preseason game, but then neglect to insert, Only yesterday I reported this very topic to be mere hype and anyone relaying it merely parroting team PR only yesterday.
The sources are great, but the air of authority and “We report it FIRST” tone only undermines the product.

I always wondered if that was part of the premise and why the cheat code was so well known: “We’ll make a game that’s impossible to beat with three lives but we’ll make a cheat code that let’s everybody overcome that and release the maddening frustration.”
Probably some Stanford psychological experiment.

Basically someone had died in real life, and the person spent a lot of time on WoW fishing in a certain spot. Well it just so happened that Spot was in a PVP area. The plan was to log in the person’s character and have them at their favorite spot so people could pay their respects.

That’s three road broadcasting teams in the past month that have said the Islanders players have lots of good things to say about Weight behind the bench. This instance was Tavares re: his helps with the powerplay.
Wasn’t going to mention it before (one was Carolina, where the broadcasters know and like him), but it’s interesting that it’s coming up in multiple stops.

Weight
As a coach, helps the PP
As a player, couldn’t help the PP
His Islander career has been interesting.
Official choice of Lighthouse Dog #1.
Ha
I argue he did help the PP when healthy. He was just never healthy for more than the first 5 games or so of a season.

Last year
Weight was captaining a power play that was sans Streit, Amac, Hamonic. Not sure if PAP was even on it that early, JT was out hurt a couple of games…I know there were some ugly turnovers by Weight early last season, but look who he was playing with.
It was shinguard Wiz, (who also missed a couple with the blowjob suspension), Eaton, Mottau, (Hillen wasn’t playing yet right?), Gervais and maybe Jurcina? That team sucked crap…I am surprised Weight looked as good as he did.

Also
the second unit didn’t use Frans, Grabs, or KO obviously…who was on it, Comeau Bailey, Schremp and Sim? Ugh.

following that logic
letting Rolston coach the PP next season… we’d convert 2/3 of them.

The NHL doesn't care about keeping these games competitive.
It’s all about narrative bullshit.
Tick-tock, tick-tock, tick-tock...
Sorry
I mean I get some of the “we get no respect stuff,” but the conspiracy talk grates on me. I just don’t think it’s real. And when really close plays go against us, it seems silly to invoke it.
For me it isn't even a "we get no respect" issue.
I think there is a general degradation of the officiating in the NHL, not just involving the Islanders. My own paranoid brain ascribes this to malicious motives from the NHL, so any issue helps to feed that idea. Since I watch the Isles the most, I definitely watch it through blue/orange colored glasses.
The NHL needs to do something about this.
Tick-tock, tick-tock, tick-tock...

One other piece to add.
It always seems suspect to me (in any games) that the calls go toward the teams who are in the top 8 (or close) while teams out of it get the short end. NHL Overtime on NBCSports is talking about the ref issues from last night (Kovalchuk not called on the game-winning play for the Devs, the Columbus clock issue). It’s all me, and I know it.
Tick-tock, tick-tock, tick-tock...
I don't know about conspiracy, but that ain't even close
And is it just me, or is that linesman horribly out of place? Shouldn’t he be on the blue line?
And afro, nobody said anything about “turning the game.”

Listening to Howie and Butch
it’s funny to be reminded that, as much as we as fans hate Mottau/Eaton/Jurcina/Pandolfo/Staois and think that they’re just a waste of space on the roster, it doesn’t seem like the players themselves feel the same way. Just a funny thought.

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.
