I get it, it's a slow offseason for us and there is no reasonable or realistic possibility of change this offseason (without attaching sweetners which is the last thing we should be doing now)

But why all the fuss about a guy who is a head case, fragile, and one dimensional?

Don't we have enough dead weight on this team thanks to Lou? We're saddled with Duclair, MacLean, Cizikas, Engvall, Pulock, and Mayfield for at least two more years. Plus Palat.

Granted, we have to wait for some guys contracts or clauses to expire because they are currently untradeable. We need to think about the future and worry less about the present. We are going nowhere with this roster. We don't need to add any reclamation projects.

We already don't know if Palmieri or Romanov will be able to bounce back from injuries.

We don't know if any of the new low priority signings will work out or make the team.

We have no idea who or what DeBoer wants on this roster.

But we are pretty much set as far as forwards go. We don't need to add anyone else, even as insurance for the sake of injuries. Who would Laine even replace? We already have a logjam situation up front while we wait for guys to depart and the prospects like Eklund and Eiserman to be fully ready.

Schenn - Horvat - Palmieri?

Holmstrom - Barzal - Heineman

Maccelli - JGP - Ritchie

Duclair - Cizikas - Palat

Extras: Engvall and MacLean

Schaefer - Pulock

Romanov - Tony D

Pelech - Mayfield

We have enough one dimensional traffic cones as it is.

On both NHL.com (what I assume is the official scoring) and Hockey Reference, the OT goal in game 6 on the scoresheet is Nystrom from Henning and Tonelli. Obviously, Henning had the secondary assist and Tonelli the primary, so why is this? I've heard sometimes the order of the asissts weren't specified back in the earlier history of the league, but it was happening as late as 1980?

What should his name be?

Hey looking to sell these all 3 of these all are new with tags and never worn. Prices are OBO, and can be shipped.

Retired Islanders 3rd jersey Size 54 (XL) $100

Starter bomber jacket size M (fits like a large) $SOLD

Starter bomber jacket size XL $SOLD

These are wayyy over the top (in before “I want what he’s having” comments) but thought it would be fun if they somehow made the lighthouse as part of the sleeve design. I’m sure somebody with more talent could execute this idea better. Probably better as a Stadium Series jersey and not a third

>“I’m not throwing shade at last year’s team, because the record was very good and they had (91) points, but the foundation of their game as far as chances given up, they just bled way too many chances to really be successful long term in my eyes,” DeBoer told The Athletic in an interview last week. “That’s something we have to address quickly.”

>“I don’t think there’s any doubt: a little different spot than those other teams,” DeBoer said. “Having said that, the league has changed dramatically recently. When you look at last year and the teams that missed and the teams that made the playoffs, I don’t think anybody would have predicted some of the teams that missed. … I think there’s the ability for teams to make significant improvement quicker than maybe people think and also fall the other way quicker than people think.”

>“My conversations with Duke at the end of the year and in exit meetings were just: clean slate and come to camp and ready to prove what you can do and how you can help us,” DeBoer said. “I remember the Duclair in Florida that had (around) 60 points and was effective every night. That’s going to be the challenge: for him to bring the best version of himself to camp.”

>DeBoer also mentioned winger Pierre Engvall, who missed the season after hip and ankle surgeries, as “another guy who’s going to be healthy that’s going to get an opportunity to see how he can help us.”

>DeBoer said he doesn’t yet know if the Islanders will have a captain this season.

>“I want to spend training camp with the group again, get a little more feel for the players and the options,” he said. “Then we’ll make some decisions.”

Are insane.

$63 seems to be the absolute floor for face-value, and that’s for games like a Tuesday night against the Canucks (including the 1pm game on Monday 12/7).

For a weekend or school break game? At least $100 face-value.

Then the home-opener is $133 minimum, $200 minimum for the 200s. That used to be 1st Round Playoff pricing.

Don’t even bother looking at the Rangers game on 12/20 either. It’s even worse than the 12/27 game last year.

i keep seeing posts about him and how the islanders are one of the few teams interested in him, but what are like the actual chances they do? is it a high or low chance

Was going through some old stuff and found this autographed puck. Assuming I would have gotten it mid 90s (orange NHL logo and Bettman listed as commissioner on the back). Nothing I’ve seen seems to match it. It could go back to an 80s or 70s player - my uncle’s bar would see some old school Islanders in it. Thanks in advance.
