All I want is that the second the puck drops the crowd starts a huge anti Botts/anti Pegula chant that is louder than a Motorhead concert that forces everyone in the sport to take notice of what a cesspool this organization is.

Ever hear of The Streisand Effect?

Dale Hunter should still be rotting in a Nassau County prison for what he did to Pierre. He possibly cost him and the Islanders a cup, should've been kicked out of the sport for life.

Here is the complete list of players I would consider trading Dahlin for: -Connor McDavid. That is all.

Johnson showed no offensive production in his junior career, he is not going to magically acquire that ability at a higher level. He is the type of player this organization needed the least and they passed over a kid playing 50 miles Northwest who was exactly what this organization needed.

Bottalogic: Defenseman with less offensive upside than most goalies > Leading goalscorer in the OHL carrying his team to a playoff spot their roster suggests they have no business even being close to.

This should put into perspective just how awful and incompetent Botts has been: The Islanders will have announced plans for a new arena, had the plan approved after having to go through red tape mandated by a disgusting and corrupt system, started construction and will open it (Fall 2021) before Botts can put together a team who can even compete for a playoff spot (much less earn one).

Given that he had to be helped off the ice by two guys I don't think it looks good at all.

Are you seriously comparing KBA to any of those places? They were historic sites and shrines to the sport, this place was literally falling apart before it even opened (there are cracks in the building from the rush job/shoddy work to get it done in time). The only arena left in the entire sport that doesn't make the place look like a toilet is the Nassau Coliseum, and watching a game in that place is a billion times better. And you are missing the bigger picture: you can't control the results on the ice, but you can control what's off it. Whether it's promotions, pre game videos, not keeping that idiot DJ Milk around, having concession items more appealing than MRE's, having displays of historic moments in the arena (Thanks for removing the Buffalo Sports HOF display to expand the team store that ran out of the 50th anniversary jerseys!) or fixing up the arena so it isn't a complete dump our ownership has done none of this. Whether it's because they are completely incompetent or because they simply don't care is the only question.

They are in St Louis, should've had Story of the Year perform instead!!!

I plan on going to the HellaMega Tour, watching Weezer, staying to see if Fall Out Boy play stuff from when they were actually good and then walking out before Green Day hit the stage.

Please point out what you object to in this article because I read it and can't find a single thing any reasonable person would argue isn't 100% spot on.

No, the lack of depth in the pipeline is a function of the complete incompetence of the people running our organization.

We are 10 points out at the All Star break, so barring a miracle of biblical proportions our season is over and we are basically just playing out the string for the 9th consecutive season months before it ends. Trading for rentals at this point would be a terrible idea and just make our situation even worse.

https://www.songkick.com/concerts/39247490-toasters-at-mohawk-place So The Toasters (one of my favorite bands ever and the greatest American ska band of all time) play Buffalo the night of 2/23. Sabres have a 3pm matinee vs Winnipeg. Oh you bet I'll be there!

If their mom is from Winnipeg as someone else previously stated there's a pretty decent chance they are dual citizens.

I have commissioned a well known international artist to create a piece that expresses the abject hopeless depression and unspeakable pain I am going through right now:

Good to see we apparently hired the Mets medical staff as well.

The injury got worse while he was rehabbing a few days back:

If anyone needs me I'll be over in the corner crying my eyes out for the next month or so.

Unless we are playing a marquee team there are thousands of empty seats at every game. When Pegula took over there was literally a waiting list for season tickets and through sheer stupidity and incompetence those days are long gone.

I am absolutely stunned that we are that "good" over that period. Would've thought we'd easily be dead last.

Example # 1,245,975 showing Sportsnet pundits are idiots: Guy just suggested players use playing in the ASG as a bargaining chip to make the league commit to playing in the Olympics. Unless I am mistaken isn't the entire point of the ASG to help fund the player's pension plan?

If you wanted to know what complete and utter scum the Barclays Center people (Ratner and Yormark) are: Had this story confirmed for me by someone who would absolutely know: when there was talk the Isles wanted to play games at the Coliseum (Which the Barclays people operate) for the 3 years before Belmont opened Ratner ordered the pouring of concrete down the toilets in all the suites as an act of sabotage to make going back impossible. They also secretly funded the ridiculous lawsuit against the Belmont Arena.
