thewookie1 Posted February 4, 2015 Report Share Posted February 4, 2015 It would be beautiful even if they don't miss the playoffs if they lose in the first round. Seeing ass then the pick Is in the late tens. So while their season stats really doesn't matter, their playoff exit is all I'm concerned about. Not to mention I highly doubt the Islanders are going to pull a Toronto Maple Leafs collapse. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derrico Posted February 4, 2015 Report Share Posted February 4, 2015 They're four points out of first in the conference too. This is not a lottery team. Before their second leading scorer went down (for probably the year) I would agree with you. That's a huge loss for them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pi2000 Posted February 4, 2015 Report Share Posted February 4, 2015 You never like to see injuries, but if I'm GMTM I tell the troops to take pucks hard to the net and run over Halak every chance they get on Sunday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's a huge loss for them. You're absolutely right. You cannot look at the standings now and assume they will hold that while missing a key part of their offense. However, to miss the playoffs, the Islanders would have to play below .500 hockey, and that's not even a guarantee that they would miss. They lose a defenseman, Tavares, or Halak -- look out below!

Your first beer, sure, but after your fourth mixed drink. We all know how it works, my man, no need for excuses. Just remember to set the microwave on med-high for the pizza; otherwise, the cheese turns brown before the crust cooks. And save the second Hostess cupcake for the morning.

Consider yourselves lucky .. Eventually you can get a tolerance to everything where nothing works. Ahh , the days when a few drinks and roach would do the trick .. I'm truly envious.

I wish so badly for this to be true. Tragically, it is all false. Except the pizza part, that's just solid advice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jeanbe Posted February 5, 2015 Report Share Posted February 5, 2015 I just cringed and almost threw up in my mouth. I hope he doesn't go the way of Bryan Berrard. I agree. Berrard could have been really good if his career wasn't cut short. I hope it's not career ending for Okposo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PASabreFan Posted March 11, 2015 Report Share Posted March 11, 2015 Okposo's back. Doctors told him his poor vision contributed to the detachment. It sounds like he might have suffered a vitreous detachment, probably spontaneously and not as a result of hockey, which led to the retinal detachment. Extreme nearsightedness is a risk factor for vitreous detachment because of the shape of the eye. When the vitreous peels away, it can take the retina with it. I'm not an eye doctor, but I do hang out by Pearle Vision on weekday nights. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She is very myopic, so they drew the conclusion, but it turns out that we don't have really good equipment to diagnose rear-eye issues. I was surprised to find that out.

bunomatic Posted March 11, 2015 Report Share Posted March 11, 2015 My mom is in her seventies. She bent over to pick something up off the floor and when she stood back up she noticed what she called a floater in her vision. Living in a small community with only a clinic and no eye dr. she was told to make the drive to a larger centre where she could have it looked at. Mom and Dad made the 3 hour drive and were told she was lucky because she very well could have lost her vision in the eye if she hadn't sought help for the detatched retina right away. The dr. used the bubble method to hold it in place and she recovered. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SwampD Posted March 11, 2015 Report Share Posted March 11, 2015 The Islanders and Rangers are two pretty f'n good teams. This was a good hockey game and bodes well for what the playoffs will look like. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
