0:50 Oh Yea GO FLAMES WOOHOO!!! Anyways thank God the Islanders have a forward now, I live like 10 minutes away from where JT was born and raised : ). It would have been better if the flames somehow in hell got him, but whatever.
lol at the draft there were rangers fans with signs sayin "Bring Tavares To The Rangers!!!" and i was thinkin WHAT THE FUCK!!! DO YOU IDIOTS REALLY THINK THAT TAVARES WILL STILL BE THERE BY THE TIME THE RANGERS PICK!!! IDIOTS!!!
this guy is a sniper and i think he will be easily be as good as heatley! he should put up great numbers if he has a good playmaking on his line. ive seen josh bailey play in windsor and i think he can do that. but if the islanders trade the pick the reaction will be priceless.
There are 18,000 people that will be attending the islanders draft party this friday. The building itself holds 16,234 people for a hockey game. More then 90% of the fanbase wants Tavares, and if his name is not called when snow takes to the podium to announce the isles pick, well expect a riot, hardly anyone will show up to any games this year. And will look to kill garth snow the second he arrives back on long island. To make it sound more simple, DON'T FUCK THIS UP GARTH!!
Do people even go to Islanders games in the first place? LOL
Hopefully the Islanders pick Hedman and the Leafs make a trade with Tampa.. I'd trade anyone but Schenn and any draft picks for this guy.. I'm sure he'd also much rather go to his favourite hockey team than the brutal Islanders. I feel sorry for him.. no one deserves to play on the Islanders. That's just torture.
Not when you got a bunch of clowns in the front office, and have turned this team into a joke for 2 decades. If your leafs were run as bad as the isles have been people would be saying the same thing. Only way burke would be able to even move up into the top 3 is if shenn is put in a deal.Not alot of teams wants to take on the contracts of blake, kubina and kaberle with the cap apparently getting lowered. And tavares said he would play for the isles. Isles draft party attendance is now at 22,204
What is Tavares supposed to do, deny it..? He's going to a shitty team either way..
And Kaberle contract is actually an amazing deal.. If you look anywhere two of the Leafs best assets for trading are a large amount of cap space and Kaberle's contract. A great puck moving defenseman who can QB a PP and play solid defense is hard to get for 4 million. Obviously the Leafs wouldn't trade Blake but i'm sure there are quite a few teams who want Kubina.
i know but Burke said once again that the Leafs aren't going to (good for him)
Shame im going to the Jays game today so I can't watch the draft.. I'm going to go on twitter every once in a while on my phone though 'cuz Darren Dreger is going to say what happens :p
lol he's a burke player also yeah that was funny when burke bullied murray and hes a london knight solid players have come out of london (kane, gagner)
I don't know why but i dislike the way draft picks are made. I know that the team that finishes last needs the most help...but, Tavares as an Islander? The fans don't know what kind of talent they're getting and they still won't care. Teams like Canadiens, Penguins, Flames, Philly....they would appreciate this player. Sometimes, it's just hard for me to get.
That is so ignorant... The Islanders don't value Tavares?? Yea sure... Islanders fans, including myself, have been dreaming about getting Tavares since the season started. Why don't you make sure you have the correct information before you share it.
Um, ya, your probably one in a million. Have you seen your stadium lately? As a Habs fan, every time i see the Canadiens in the Long Island, you would think that you were at the Bell Center with the lack of cheering for the local team. There are more Habs fans present in Long Island. I'm just saying that you might be a great fan but the city won't appreciate Tavares and your so-called management doesn't know how to handle this type of super star. Sorry, but that's just my opinion.
I admit that the Islanders do not have as big of a following as many other teams in the NHL, however many of the fans live and die with the team. In terms of the stadium, if you are talking about the quality of it, the only reason there is not already construction underway is the long holdup in granting permits to the construction.
I'm not saying that you aren't a die hard fan i'm just saying that there aren't many people like you in Long Island. I feel like Tavares as an Islander, would only be appreciated by a small group of devoted fans as opposed to being drafted by a hockey city where he would be THE image of EVERY THING there. There is a HUGE difference.
ISLES GET HEDMAN... LIGHTNING... GET TAVARES..... omfg lightning i hope get tavares thatd be awesome.. STAMKOS.... ST LOUIS... TAVARES!!! SIIIIICK LINE
im guna do a back flip if the islanders get him so maybe they can do decent this year. if yashin didnt want to fire liviolet they would be so much better and they would have made the playoffs these last couple years
i agree. hedman will be an all star defenseman for many years. but you have to understand that we havent had a consistent scoring threat on the island since ziggy palffy, besides jason blakes fluke season. it would be nice to finally have someone that could put the puck in the net.
I really hope whoever they pick could turn that franchise around. It's such a great organization with such history, I wanna see them as a contender. And with Tavares, combined with Okposo, could be one of the most dangerous teams offensively.
remember, its a lottery. isles luck they'll end up with the 5th overall. and the isles are known as a horrific drafting team. isles love big defensemen from canada. tavares will end up on tampa with stamkos.
A team can only move down 1 spot and up 4. Isles clinched worst record. only way the dont get 1st pick is if the 2-5 teams sneaks up. The 6-14 wins and isles default to #1 pick
Was Carter drafted when he got 12 goals?
