The funny thing is that the Rangers are better now, and at the same time, have a better farm system.
Guys like Anisimov, Grachev, Lisin, Stepan, McDonaugh, and del Zotto, to go along with guys like Lundqvist, Staal, Dubinsky, Callahan, and now Gaborik, will be around for awhile, and making an impact.
Thats the comedy in all of this. We're better at the moment, and we're set up better for the future.
Stop commenting 3 times on every one of my replies...
Dwayne Roloson is old, yes, but he's also coming off possibly the best year of his career. And yes, Dipietro still exists, he had injuries the past couple years, just like Gaborik.
And of course you forget that you have the worst team in the NHL, one of the worst in the 4 major sports ranking right down there with the Detroit Lions, Sacto Kings & Washington Nats. You play in the worst building with the worst fans...
hey, your rangers werent so high and might either, remember that? its a cycle. pittsburgh, chicago, washington, all sucked until they got good young players from the draft. just wait, itll come. and dont be talking about the Isles fans, were way better than your "i give up" fans
You haven't been good, no matter what route you've taken, in almost 30 years now. I've seen the Isles attempt to rebuild. I've seen the Isles attempt to buy UFA's, and make big moves.
Nothing ever pans out.
The last time Isles fans were this pumped for a No. 1 pick, Ricky D was being thrown into action, and we know how that turned out.
The Isles are team 9 in a 9 team town. No one knows they exist, or cares about them. It'll be this way forever.
Ranger fans can preach all they want about how much the Islanders suck and how good the Rangers are. But the Rangers are where the Isles were in 2003. Coming into the playoffs in the lower seeds, and losing after one round. Garth Snow did the smart thing and said there's no reason to go one round in the playoffs, and he rebuilt the team. And in a few years, the Islanders will be a competitor for the cup, and the Rangers will still be a bunch of old bums.
Roloson? Biron? Dipietro coming off surgery? Sounds like we have 3 first string goalies.
The Rangers don't have 3 forwards that do anything in the league. You can claim Gaborik is so great all you want. But let's see him score 40 goals with no offensive talents next to him, the pressure of playing in MSG, and not getting injured AGAIN. The Rangers are the most defensively based team in hockey.
Roloson and Biron are mediocre starters past their prime, who could step in and not embarass a team like Danis and MacDonald. Nothing more, nothing less.
Gaborik scored 40 goals in a trap system with Aaron Voros on his line.
Defensively based team in hockey? You are aware Renney was fired and Tortorella, who is one of the best offensive-minded head coaches in the NHL, was hired, right? Do your homework buddy.
Dwayne Roloson is 100 years old. Biron is a clown who got wins playing in front of a good team in Philly. It all boils down to both being slightly above average, and nothing special.
Does Rick DiPietro still exist, or even belong in the conversation?
you said "And in a few years, the Islanders will be a competitor for the cup". Is that according to the Gregorian calendar? Dog years? or geologic time?
but did you know the Islea are ranked as dead last in overall hockey experience???? They would cum in last in a 1 horse race they suck so badly...as does the arena...and the fans...
What does overall hockey experience decide? The Rangers have plenty of old players, and where'd they get? They squeezed into the playoffs and got beat by a younger, better team. The Rangers have no talent, with the exception of a goalie. They had I think 2 more goals on the season than the Isles, while the Isles had the most injuries in all of hockey.
The arena is gonna be replaced soon enough, and the fans, like myself, are at least educated.
This just in, The Islanders have not only been eliminated from this years playoffs, but next seasons as well. Says NHL Commissioner Gary Bettman in a statement just released to the "Apathetic Island Press", "It's for the best since the worst team with the worst ownership and the worst fans in the worst building, should have nothing to look forward to other than moving to a real hockey town like Winnipeg, Flin Flon, Oklahoma City...
This 'dispicible prick' as you so eloquently state will not have to move to Kansas City to see his team play live. Not that you have actually been to a game this year..or ever...You write that in "about 2-3 years they will be pretty good '. The only problem is that the franchise will no longer be in Uniondale....
ass wuts ur problem is this wut u do all day sit on ur computer and curse out kids on youtube i have a mind of my own unlike u and could root for who ever the fuck i want there all new york teams so im gonna root for my state i dont give a shit who u root for cuz u r ur own individual and its not my buisness...not like i give a flying fuck and i have never been to an islander game 1 i know someone on da team and 2 i can afford it unlike u im ending it know and sayin fuck u to ur bullshit
A fellow by the name of Samuel Clemens revolutionized American Literature by actually writing the way people talked. That was in the 19th century. I honestly have no idea what the fuck you are trying to intimate here in the 21st century other than the fact that you are one dumb muther-fucker. Can't read, write, type, communicate. Now I want you to listen to me and take this to heart because I really do care. Memorize the following phrase...
Who said I watch the videos? I look for the uninformed comments from people like you. The team is awful, the fans don't care and the owner can't wait to move the franchise because he had trouble making a deal with the corrupt politicians of Nassau County. End of story. End of an era. End of the franchise...
theyr in the rebuilding stage right now and yes the managment does suck and thats their biggest problem. wait 2 years and see how theyr doing with all their young talent theyr about to get
So we'll talk in 2 years? The team is a mess, the coaching sucks and the owner is bipolar. And worse yet, the 'aaleged' fans do not show for the games!
Fuck you. Flat out, fuck you. "Good riddance." Fuck you and your lack of respect for a franchise that built one of the best teams in NHL history. They had a record 19 straight playoff series wins. One of, if not the best goal scorer of all time spent his career as an Islander. They're bad now, that doesn't mean that they don't deserve any respect.
They don't deserve any respect now because they are a lousy hockey team with fair weather fans in the worst building with a crazy owner that can't wait to move the franchise! By the way...How many games have you been to this season? or watched from beginning to wretched end? I really hope they can get things squared away because it is a trully pathetic situation in Uniondale. If not, than it will be "GOOD RIDDANCE" TO YOU! See you in Kansas City or oblivion. Whichever comes 1st!
Win won in the shootout after blowing leads. How is it that the Rangers have no offense or defense with that payroll? Wade Redden where are you? Does Roszival play for the Rangers or the opposition? Dubinsky is the only player worthy of mention. How come the fans all knew Marcus Naslund wouldn't do well in NYC, everyone knew this but..........the RANGERS. I wonder if Colton Orr is scared of Mitch Fritz? He should be after what he did to Laraque. Being that winning in the shootout is the game
Oh and BTW, The Blueshirts are first in the League right now and you are LAST...17 teams have given up more goals than the Rangers have and they have played 2 more games than anyone...and you got EMBARRASSED in your own building by not only losing the game but by having more enemy fans in your home arena...
LOL..like you have one. KING HENRY of what, Of nothing. can't even make it to a finals. 11-12 post season record for KH...lol. What a fucking joke the Rangers are.
LOL. This comes from a Ranger fan that has 1 cup stained with OIL..ers. 3 other cups that noone gives a shit about. Even Ranger fans want to forget about 1940...LOL. Rangers are a shit franchise my friend.
LOL..Rangers compete every year and every year they fuck it up. Why is that? Why haven't the Rangers won this century? Is it to hard without all those ex OIL.ers on the team. YOU BET IT IS PAL.
BTW you fucking idiot, give it up with the claim that it was all the ex-Oilers that won the Rangers the cup..Kovalev had an out-of-nowhere series with actual two-way play while being productive, Leetch won the Conn Smythe as the MVP and Richter was simply THE BEST.
Let me see. So having 8 ex champion OILers on the team didn't win ya the cup. Ok Well what have you won before them or after them? The Rangers were out of the playoffs for 8 years in a row. Now that your in the playoffs a whole 2 years in a row, you cant do shit with it.
You have Mr Glass as your starter who does not start...or skate...or play. You have the worst building in professional sports. You have the worst fans ( at least in Philly they show up to boo )& your fans don't bother to tune in let alone show up. You are entering rarified territory beginning a second generation of cup(mind)less hockey. You can't get to 54 unless you hit 26. I wish you well as you adjust to abject mediocrity at its worst. Make your golf plans now for the spring.
Mr. Glass is 10 points behind you as of today. As for our building its more modernized than the shit MSG. Our fans are not much but look at the empty seats at MSG every night. Downstairs at MSG is half full. We are entering a new area of hockey you are correct. We have won cups in the past so its hard to see the success we will have in the future, but the Rangers are stuck right where they have always been. Start the season out great, lose lots of games later, then fail in the end. OILERS 94.
Mr Glass is the 15 year stranglehold goaltender that you pay more for PT than for backstopping your team. The Mausoleum is more modern than MSG? Put down the pipe! You are 12 behind us in the division, 10th in the conf and 21st in the NHL. Not exactly playoff position. You have NO FANS, NO HOPE, NO IMMEDIATE FUTURE!
Considering the fact that the team still plays on Lawn Guyland, is last in the division, conference and league, has a wacko for an owner and no fan base.....
The Islanders future is obvious once again..NO PLAYERS, NO MANAGEMENT, NO HOPE, NO FUTURE...BTW, odds are the Isles will be the first team in the modern NHL history to finnish 31st in a 30 team league...
ekimfloom what are you talking about, watching instead of playing? even if the islanders did make the playoffs, he wouldnt be playing. do you have any affiliation with rangers besides being a fan? just thinking that since you always say "my team, us, we" or to other fans "your team, you". its kinda stupid.
I think the Isles are moving in the right direction. We were a winning team last year until we got hammered with injuries. I also think DiPietro played injured and therefore did not play well. I am looking forward to the next season.
You neglected to include the eventual move to Winnipeg because nobody cares about the Isles anymore...the attendance & TV figures and lack of playoff appearances prove my point!
NO TEAM, NO TALENT, NO HOPE, NO MORE CUPS, NO MORE FUTURE!
Have fun losing in the second round for the second time in two years. Not getting a draft pick and then losing out on all your big name UFAs cause you have no room under the cap because you signed "The Queen" to a very cap unfriendly deal. While you guys pray and hope that somehow Nigel Dawes shoulders the puck in our future will actually be doing something.
LOL! I'll take the season we had this year rather than any you've had the last decade and a half.
You don't have a future. You have 12 years left with an injury prone clown, a mediocre farm system, and a shitty current team. 2 of the last 3 years, you've finished in the bottom 5 of the NHL. PATHETIC!
LOL! Oh, and in BREAKING NEWS! The Islanders are trying to re-sign Yashin! I pray it happens. It would only stain the reputation of the NHL laughingstock on Long Island even more! LMFAO!
The team is on the uprise, the hope aswell, the cups dunno but the future sure looks bright!
Looking forward to the draft, one 1st round pick two 2nd round picks and two 3rd round picks. And our low salary cap's getting Snow and the staff a great oppurtunity to sign hopefully some great players.
And coming to attendence that's a lie. Isles improved much thanks to Chris Dey and Garths job their attendance by like 15-20% season-over.
couldnt agree more, the islanders are a skid mark on ny sports,they never will pass the rangers and witht this move today, there is no islander fan that can tell me he has hope, and great signings this offseason, doug weight,lol.
Am i the only one laughing my ass off at the description? :D "Young players, blah, blah, blah, Bill Guerin??" Shows how smart Islander fans are :D

Dany Heatley is NOT a Ranger right now because the Rangers were unwilling to deal these guys.

How do WE give up? Through thick and thin, MSG is still packed.

You don't have a goaltender. You have 1 good defenseman, and you have 2, maybe 3 forwards, who will do anything in this league.

ekimfloom what are you talking about, watching instead of playing? even if the islanders did make the playoffs, he wouldnt be playing. do you have any affiliation with rangers besides being a fan? just thinking that since you always say "my team, us, we" or to other fans "your team, you". its kinda stupid.

Well YOU GUYS are off to a rousing start with 4 points in 6 games which is good enough for 14th in the conference and 28th in a 30 team league...

I think the Isles are moving in the right direction. We were a winning team last year until we got hammered with injuries. I also think DiPietro played injured and therefore did not play well. I am looking forward to the next season.

You neglected to include the eventual move to Winnipeg because nobody cares about the Isles anymore...the attendance & TV figures and lack of playoff appearances prove my point!
NO TEAM, NO TALENT, NO HOPE, NO MORE CUPS, NO MORE FUTURE!

Have fun losing in the second round for the second time in two years. Not getting a draft pick and then losing out on all your big name UFAs cause you have no room under the cap because you signed "The Queen" to a very cap unfriendly deal. While you guys pray and hope that somehow Nigel Dawes shoulders the puck in our future will actually be doing something.

Have fun WATCHING instead of playing...
Lundy's deal actually gives us flexibility with a PROVEN ASSET that actually can complete an entire NHL season...
...not to mention win Olympic Gold...
You have no team, management, arena, fans or future...
Like your sign on suggests, you're just blowin in the wind...

LOL! I'll take the season we had this year rather than any you've had the last decade and a half.
You don't have a future. You have 12 years left with an injury prone clown, a mediocre farm system, and a shitty current team. 2 of the last 3 years, you've finished in the bottom 5 of the NHL. PATHETIC!
LOL! Oh, and in BREAKING NEWS! The Islanders are trying to re-sign Yashin! I pray it happens. It would only stain the reputation of the NHL laughingstock on Long Island even more! LMFAO!

The team is on the uprise, the hope aswell, the cups dunno but the future sure looks bright!
Looking forward to the draft, one 1st round pick two 2nd round picks and two 3rd round picks. And our low salary cap's getting Snow and the staff a great oppurtunity to sign hopefully some great players.
And coming to attendence that's a lie. Isles improved much thanks to Chris Dey and Garths job their attendance by like 15-20% season-over.

If any team moves to Winnipeg it will be Nashville or Atlanta not the Islanders. Their owner has said he has no interest in moving the Islanders.
