LONG LONG LONG TIME FAN

I'm for a game 1 victory for the boys from NY.

Uh... Isles did what the NYR can't do. Beat Boston at their own game. Onward to face Tampa... a formidable opponent to say the least. We will all get to see the ex-NYR players. You know, the ones dumped in the great rebuild, which is continuing endlessly.

The above says it in a nutshell. Exciting victory for the Isles on Boston turf. Back to NY for the next - and hopefully - final game of this series. The Beantowners, starting from the coach on down, surely have a frustrated look on their faces.

Isles showing their mettle! ( Matt Barzal is a prime example. No quit, ever! ) NYR are hard pressed to show theirs in the regular season, let alone the play-offs. Face reality people, the NYR are miles away from reaching the playing capability that the Isles have shown against a supposedly out-matched opponent. The next game vs. Boston may very well define what the end result will be.

And of course he shows his mentality by using the filthy language that is prevalent here. Must be a true naysayer.

By the time next season rolls around, the NYR will look like a vastly different team than this one, if the ideas posted here become reality. Great ideas.; unload some very talented young players for ancient warriors such as Ryan Getzlaf.

You must be kidding! Smoking something? BTW, have you ever been to NYC??

Ryan Getzlaf?? OMG. Exactly what the NYR need; another over the hill vet.

Why is it that people on this site are allowed, and in some instances, encouraged to use filthy, insulting, denigrating language and the so-called " mods" do absolutely zilch about it??? In fact, some of the so-called " mods " engage in the same vitriolic garbage. Maybe it's common language at the dinner table, or while visiting relatives. IMMHO, it is entirely uncalled for.

To all posters: this is sooooo interesting. Much appreciated by the YSUOA!

How much does the average S--T weigh? Just askin' for data file.

Oh no. Pleeze! Not another retread. Only the NAYSAYERS---only the NAYSAYERS!!

YAY ISLANDERS!! KEEP IT GOING!!

Switcheroo, poo, poo!

Oh No! Not Johnny Boy. Pleeeeze. J.T. is a loudmouth with no class.

House cleaning in full force. The real clean-up is yet to be done.

Allaire was retained.

Already fired once by the NYR. Bring him back so he can get fired again.

The usual Naysayers are feigning shock over this decision? They've been clamoring for his ouster for months. Now its all agog over pretty much a foregone conclusion. On to the future and the playoffs. Ta ta, kiddies. Another newsworthy post from the YSUOA!

THE Ryan Getzlaf?? Yikes, Yikes AND YIKES!

Well, well, well. Finally a win against the team that got somewhere, by the team that went nowhere. Figures. Really nothing to rave about immho. Still a yaysayer, though. It will be interesting to see who stays - who goes - and who may come in. A new coach on the horizon? Hmmmm. Have a great summer Naysayers. Adios from the YSUOA.

If that was a valid " response " to a guy that pulled #89 down to the ice, punched him in the head, and then went after Panarin with a typical Tom Wilson cheap shot, then I've been mistaken lo these many years as to what retribution is in the NHL world. Nice that the guys responded but, was that enough given that Panarin is hurt and out and Tom Wilson is still playing? Maybe a stick to the face, a REAL check into the boards and a slew foot would've made the point. To now say that this group is soft, is saying what people have been saying over and over. It took Tom Wilson's actions to ignite a response in the NEXT game? Getting rid of Brendan Lemieux for zilch was another bonehead move. Quinn never gave him a definite role at which he could do better. There are more than enough players in the league that are excellent and don't take those kind of actions lightly. Management has chosen to go the skill and finesse route. You reap what you sow. BTW, the ridiculous nonsensical penalties that this group takes says it all. Bye now, you band wagoneers. The previous info was brought to y'all be the YSUOA.

If someone... anyone on this team doesn't immediately go after Wilson and give him what he deserves, then it proves that as constituted, this group probably has zero chance to get some where. You know, ALA Nick Fotiu.

Oh Boy!! Looks as if Dolan is one more Naysayer. These moves couldn't possibly have anything to do with Tom Wilson now, could they? Just saying'.

IT'S EXACTLY TRUE!! NOT ONE SINGLE PLAYER DROPPED HIS GLOVES AND BELTED WILSON IN THE CHOPS. THESE GUYS DISGRACED THEMSELVES BY LETTING A GUY LIKE HIM GO UNPUNISHED. A BUNCH OF FANCY DANS THAT HAVE ABSOLUTELY NO PHYSICALITY IN THEIR BLOOD. HE ALWAYS PLAYS THAT WAY AND NOONE KICKS HIS ASS. SMASHING PANARIN'S HEAD ON THE ICE AND PUNCHING HIM WHILE DOWN WAS NOT ANSWERED BY A SINGLE PLAYER. I'M FURIOUS OVER THE WAY THIS TEAM PLAYS LIKE SOFT MARSHMALLOWS. IT'S DISGUSTING AND DOWNRIGHT INSULTING TO THOSE THAT PAY TO BE FORCED TO WATCH THIS KIND OF DISPLAY.
