[nbafreak41]

With the first overall pick, the New York Islanders select, John Ta-YEAAAHHHH!!!!!!!!

[brockleeandmoo]

if that place is that loud for a draft pick i cant imagine that place sold out for a playoff game

[ValorGeneral]

Islanders pick up year after year only draft busts...

[HISHAM931]

islanders suk and they have one of the lowest number of fans in the league they suk they deserve a bag of shit.

[chomidore3]

@HISHAM931 They actually have some of the most loyal fans in the league. They fill the Coliseum when the team is good, and they know better not to show up when they are terrible like in previous seasons. Do some research before you troll, dumbass.

[HISHAM931]

@chomidore3 r u fkn kidding me? it shows u dont even follow ur pathetic islanders lol. First to start off with u guys dont even have any fans in ur arena its always full of oppostion team fans *coughs* like habs fans. Just name me 1 time this season were they sold out tickets lmao. ur pathetic and useless like ur islanders i suggest u root 4 another team, this team will need yrs 2 rebuild, the last thing they need is ignorant fans like u 2 say they sell out tickets lol .

[chomidore3]

@HISHAM931 Looks you're just a troll, so I'm not going to argue over something that I ACTUALLY KNOW. Don't try to prove me wrong, because you clearly don't know shit. Nice grammar by the way. Have fun trying to troll, I'm not going to reply.

[HISHAM931]

@chomidore3 i dont need 2 prove u wrong ur alrdy wrong idiot. Seriousl if u honestly think islanders sell out tickets u have alrdy proved my point of how low ur intelligence is. i dont even root 4 the islanders and i know more then u bout their team come on r u that pathetic?

I was at the NHL Draft in 2009 and I must say yes..I witnessed Islanders history..but after watching this..I wish I had came to the Coliseum...

[TheDonman89]

The Leafs will have Travares sooner or later. When he was always asked about how he felt about the maybe going to the leafs he seemed upset to say that the islander had the best shot at getting him. I'm Not saying he isn't enjoying he first nhl season but, i think he would enjoy it better in Toronto

[TurgeonFan77132]

@TheDonman89 - If that is the case in the future, Brian Burke better brace himself to give up everything but the kitchen sink for him...

[TheDonman89]

@TurgeonFan77132 sooner or later i really think he will be a leaf but as a free agent. a trade for him right now would be insane a price way to much for any team

ISLANDERS ROCK RANGERS SUCK

[goisles]

Thank you SO MUCH for posting this video. I live 1200 miles from Long Island now, so I had to watch the draft from my seat at the bar. Even though it has been a couple of weeks since the draft, I still get chills and get all giddy when I watch this. It let's me feel like I'm a part of history.

JOHN TA VAR ES!!!! Here's to some bright days ahead. Let's Go Islanders!!!!!!!!

[nyidangle17]

wish i was there hhahha. i was so happy when they finally called tavares' name after that long speech. And DP just had another surgery and is walking on crutches. He is expected to start skating in August but idk how hes going to do this season. Dont forget he also has concussion and knee problems. cant wait for next year. LETS GO ISLANDERS!
