Let's Go Islanders! 2018-2019!

If Tavares walks its the best thing for the Isles long term. Short term, it will hurt them.

Lou is going to have some of you wishing Snow never left though.

If you were a real Islanders fan you would know that is impossible.

Huh? Lamoriello is a proven winner anywhere he’s been. Snow couldn’t carry his jock strap. After 25 years of futility between Milbury and Snow, Lamoriello is like Jesus Christ, Toe Blake and Scotty Bowman all rolled into one.

I do agree, however, that Tavares leaving will be a blessing in the long run.

I have pretty much moved on. Will be great if Wahlstrom makes the team, gets 50 goals and the Isles go farther in the playoffs then the team Tavares ends up going to.

Lou left NJ a mess and was merely a figurehead in Toronto. He’s completely out of touch with today’s game.

Jesus, he didn’t just give Hickey a 4-year deal, did he?

Sounds like something Snow would do.

Staple says Tavares has informed the Isles he won’t be back with them.

Tavares has already posted a stupid Thank you to the fans. Sounds like Toronto was always going to be his destination. After begging Snow at the deadline not to trade him.

[ymike673]

Toronto at Barclays February 28th. Isles should have a ceremony and retire #91, For Butch Goring!

I’m down with that. Tavares is dead to me. All this B.S. about wanting to remain with the Islanders and asking Snow not to trade him shows what a phony he is. Basically sabotaged this organization. Screw him.

Looks like Toronto was his intention all along. Could live with that had he just told Snow back in February and alowed him to be traded at the deadline.

[philleotardo]

OK, Lou, whatchya got?

[philleotardo]

Sounds like something Snow would do.

Also 4 years for .........Leo Komarov.

OMG. I didn't realize that dumb people could actually become dumber.


Lou is a future hall of famer. Lamoriello's tenure as general manager of the New Jersey Devils from 1987 to 2015 was the third-longest by an NHL general manager with a single team, following those of Conn Smythe and Art Ross.


Under Lamoriello's management, the Devils, who had been barely competitive for their first five years in New Jersey, became one of the most successful teams in the NHL. The Devils made the Stanley Cup playoffs all but three times between 1988 and 2012, qualified for five Stanley Cup Finals (in 1995, 2000, 2001, 2003 and 2012) and won the Stanley Cup three times (in 1995, 2000 and 2003).^[1] Lamoriello also served as general manager for Team USA in the 1996 World Cup of Hockey, in which the U.S. won the gold medal,



Lou is already in the US Hockey hall of fame. One day he will be in the one in Toronto as well. The guy is simply the best GM ever from the USA.

You prove that every time you post here bud. He's already in the Toronto one genius.

Also, did you just seriously wikipedia copy pasta that?

Look at his track record in the hard cap era. It's not good.

[philleotardo]

Trying to find an upside to the Leo and Filppula signings.


Anybody?

They look like reflex moves to losing Tavares.
Leo was an overpay. No likely.

[philleotardo]

Robin Lehner signed to a 1-yr deal and Matt Martin coming back in a trade for Eamon Mc Adam.

Apparently we’re just going to roll a bunch of 4th lines.

[ymike673]

Dahaan signed with Carolina.

I love, love, LOVE this idea. This is true genius. I still remember Game 1 of the 1981 semis when Butchie singlehandedly kept the entire Ranger team bottled deep in their own end for at least 30 seconds on a power play. It's my biggest lasting memory of Butch (that and his little junior hockey helmet).

Totally do this.

[HelloNewman]

Dahaan signed with Carolina.

There is a god. Undersized defensemen who make tons of mistakes (Lightning series a few years ago anyone?) aren't my thing but others' mileage may vary.

He did seem a little overvalued in this market.

Isles start the season with an OT win. Greiss was the star in net tonight.
