SwampD Posted December 16, 2016 Report Share Posted December 16, 2016 The greater intrigue on the Island is whether Jack Capuano actually lives in Garth Snow's basement. It's a real thing. https://elitesportsny.com/2016/11/15/new-york-islanders-jack-capuano-garth-snow-basement-video/ :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Derrico Posted December 16, 2016 Report Share Posted December 16, 2016 Has Okposo been the best Sabre to this point in the season? Risto. Best forward? Probably. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
That Aud Smell Posted December 16, 2016 Report Share Posted December 16, 2016 Risto. My thought as well, but I think it's awfully close. Early on, Risto was still finding his way. Okposo has been rock solid from the get-go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PASabreFan Posted December 16, 2016 Report Share Posted December 16, 2016 Several years ago, the Islanders started with a rebuild based on an elite centre - Tavares. They had some success, but now they're totally tail spinning. Whaddup, Isles? I read somewhere about how Garth has committed absurd amounts of money to a pair of plug 4th liners (sorry no link, no names), while letting useful scoring players like Okposo walk. New owners took over over the summer and it still feel Wang-chungy over there. I don't see how the business model doesn't require a good, watchable team for the Brooklynites. Attendance is still near the bottom of the league. And there have been rumors that the Isles will try to get back onto Long Island proper in a new arena. There's some opt-out clause after the fourth season at Barclays. This is season two. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LTS Posted December 16, 2016 Report Share Posted December 16, 2016 Between that, Lucic, and Backes, it's hard to say which is the dumbest signing Imagine being an Islanders fan right now. Bottom of the league, Ladd contract, Snow and Capuano, and Tavares is going to be a UFA. Ladd.. 4th liner for $5.5M. He's a great signing. I think Montreal signing Shaw was pretty stupid too. Lucic and Backes not as bad. Has Okposo been the best Sabre to this point in the season? Season to date I'd say yes... but ROR and Jack definitely are making a case.. and perhaps Risto now.

bob_sauve28 Posted December 16, 2016 Report Share Posted December 16, 2016 Has Okposo been the best Sabre to this point in the season? I think so. Maybe Risto, but both have been there Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Randall Flagg Posted December 16, 2016 Report Share Posted December 16, 2016 If ROR's absence isn't taken into consideration, he's been the best Sabre. I would tie Risto and Okposo at #2. Accounting for ROR's missed games (6?) I'd go with a 3-way-tie. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LGR4GM Posted December 16, 2016 Report Share Posted December 16, 2016 I heard Derek Jeter along with Robin Lehner like Donald Trump. I don't like Trump or his cabinet appointments. I am excited Lehner is starting tonight because I think he is the better GT IMPO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WildCard Posted December 16, 2016 Report Share Posted December 16, 2016 Alright, can we please stop with the politics? I get it, I really do. But it's not my fault, or problem, and I'd rather not see it in every thread I visit; there's a reason I avoided the original thread as it was Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Take one player away from our team and imagine how we'd look. Just imagine that defense Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WildCard Posted December 16, 2016 Report Share Posted December 16, 2016 Bogo almost came back for tonight. Well, I say that because Byslma mentioned that Bogo was a no go for tonight, meaning he had to address the possibility I wasn't talking about MVP. who has been our best player since the season started, Okposo was my thought. oh and the politics thing is not getting dropped anytime soon. 1) Fair enough 2) It's beyond annoying. Go do it in some OT thread or something, or pm the mods if you haven't I don't care. This is a big game, and it's annoying to read politics when we're trying to discuss hockey Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Huckleberry Posted December 16, 2016 Report Share Posted December 16, 2016 http://www.newsday.com/sports/hockey/islanders/islanders-john-tavares-to-toronto-maple-leafs-talk-heats-up-1.12609716 And no one can know what Tavares really thinks about the prospect of playing for the Leafs and being the focus of a whole city rather than the quieter slice of life he experiences playing for the Islanders. He does not hang out in New York City much, if at all, preferring the slower life on Long Island where he can focus on hockey. Not a lifestyle he could continue in Toronto And this is older article http://www.sportsnet.ca/hockey/nhl/tavares-playing-maple-leafs-not-count/ Read somewhere he wouldn't go to Toronto, but buffalo has a shot because we got Moulson and Okposo :p At least it was great entertainment value to read and see Leafs fans go apeshit over it.
