Top 5 Explanations for P.A. Parenteau Being 'Sick'

PrintAs you may have heard, P.A. Parenteau missed practice Monday due to illness, requiring a later eval to see if he can play Tuesday in Philadelphia.
Hopefully it's a brief thing, because he's be sorely missed, what with the Islanders already missing Travis Hamonic.
Parenteau, of course, is kind of important. His 36 assists lead the team and are 5th-most in the NHL. He's missed only one game as an Islander, piling up 100 points in 132 games -- yes, producing even when not next to John Tavares. Because we are Islanders fans, we are inherently paranoid. What's keeping Parenteau down?
- 1. He's "sick" in a Philly flu kind of way.
- 2. "Sick" is cover for a sordid, uglier-by-the-day custody battle over Hoppy the Bunny with former roommate and current Hoppy guardian Zenon Konopka. Expect "well placed sources" to leak family court documents to Larry Brooks any day now ... not that the Post would ever splash ink over someone's personal life.
- 3. Just messing with rumor mongering Bruce "Malkin to the Kings" Garrioch, who misuses the word "likely" the way Ed Mangano misuses "new plan."
- 4. He's 28, he's busted his butt to get past year-to-year deals, and now he's gonna get paid. A man can take a sick day.
- 5. Thought it'd be funny to see Brian Rolston skate on the second line with Frans Nielsen and Michael Grabner. Real funny, P.A. Hardy har har.

In reality...
Parenteau is recovering from the beating he took from bouncers at several NYC locations after Sean Avery informed the club owners that he was not allowed in.
Definitely a poster at Lighthouse Hockey until 2015, then maybe somewhere else.

So that was him...
I saw a very P.A.-looking guy on the boadwalk at Jones Beach this morning, tossing bread to the seagulls.

Option 6: I should've carried afro's image over from the other thread
Lighthouse Hockey: A flute with no holes is not a flute. A Dane with no holes is Frans Nielsen.
Can We All Agree...
That the rumors surrounding PAP and My Dear Frans Nielsen were fun for about 3 seconds? Garth needs to resign both of them, like now.
It's all in the dance
Gotta negotiate gently but firmly. Also have to make sure there are no Don Waddells out there.

Maybe he's got a Philly girl
He might have been cracking her liberty bell if you know what I mean...
Yee haw ;)
Word on the street is Rolston bought him a crave case from white castle last night to congradulate him on his great season so far.
And the next day, PAP needed the day off. lol
What do you mean they won 4 cups in a row? Is that possible?

Ah the old Goldberg stuffs Julie the Cat's face with donuts in order to secure playing time routine...
didn’t think Rolston even knew who the Mighty Ducks were. He was at least 65 when the first one came out.

Oh god
Ive witnessed first hand the kind of damage a White Castle crave case can do to the human body lol it aint pretty

JT is so good at scoring...
that they already have his name inscribed on the Art Ross trophy as this year’s winner and the season isn’t even over yet.

JT is so good at scoring...
that he makes PAP look like a 70pts player alongside him and Moulson look like a 30goal scorer next to him and the islanders look better than a last place team!

he doesn’t even try to pick up on girls.
"Redemption? Sure. But in the end, he's just another dead rat in a garbage pail behind a Chinese restaurant."
No Hamonic? No Jurcina? No Parenteau?
If Ness, Reese, and Rolston replace those three, would Isles stand any chance against Philly, from a physicality standpoint?

Rabbits are always the innocent victims
in these domestic dramas.
Lighthouse Hockey: A flute with no holes is not a flute. A Dane with no holes is Frans Nielsen.
Hoppy had two daddies.
We know Z got custody. We dont know if PAP has visitiation rights.
Z did however say in the pregame the other night that the two of them are still buddies, so I would think he does.
Otherwise its just not fair to the hare.
Let Us Go, Islanders! (Ever notice how strange that sounds without the contraction?)

That's unpossible.

Maybe he's sick at the thought..
of sharing the ice with Max Talbot, without anyone to give him a good old fashioned smack.

from riding JT’s coattails.

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.

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.
