@troyMLG hav u ever been to long island? Do u even know what it is? Its an island not a town retard and if u hav money its one of the nicest places in the world to live so theres no reason to leave
@furlano7 He is on a better team, thanks to him. The Islanders were one of the best teams in the NHL after the All-Star Break, but the Devils hogged the spotlight as the hottest, easily.
i see all this stuff happenin... my coaches would never let me do this on my own... theyd be like come over here and do the same drills allllllll the time
Tavares is going to be another mats sundin on a smaller scale if he stays in NY. Hes gonna give his career to a team that will never go anywhere because they make the same dumb mistakes in the offseason. Not a bad team just poorly ran.
@undeadwarr7001 YEAH JUST WHO WOULD EVER THOUGHT ON HOW PISS POOR EDMONTON WOULD BE WITHT HEIR NUMBER 1 DRAFT PICK. AND OTTAWA TO THEIR WORSE THAN THE ISLES ARE. TAYLOR HALL WOW WHAT A FUCKING BIG JOKE HE'S NOT PUTTING THE NUMBER THAT JOHN DID IN HIS ROOKIE SEASON
You must be joking Tavares is away better player than Kadri i mean you cant even compare the two. Tavares plays with nobody and since he has gotten to the islanders everybody on his line is having career years (Okposo,Moulson),Fo example...You put Tavares in stamkos' situation playing with Lecavalier and St.Loius and i assure you hes going to get like 40+ goals.
@83Oil88ers89 that sucks i guess i will just have to wait. i saw him last year i got tickets to see him right at the glass it was awesome!! can't wait for 2014!
@magichabs3921 what I heard is kfdjvgkldslkmcxvldsijvdskjclkdsjfdkwjclkdzjfiejwifjdskjclknclmxncfljds jackass go suck the coq of your mother.... fuckahhhhhh
@magichabs3921 and please ur not a habs fan gtfo bandwagonner go suck a english american team d*ck while we are at it. and 2 my english is far more better than yours because I am not a prick who is self center like all english bastard out there.
Underacheiving? Dont think so. No training camp, missing 2 months, and coming straight off of a wrist injury. Now has 28 goals and 25 assists on the season? Cant wait to see him next year.
@Nubbiee No training camp, big deal it shouldn't take him months to catch up. He NOW has 51 points, 2 months ago he was on pace to finish with little better than .5 pts per game. So yeah, he was underachieving for a 5.4 mil/yr player
@ian8206 Well yeah he was underacheiving. Theres no doubt about that, but now that he has found his groove and is on pace for a 30+ season i think its safe to say he is no longer "underachieving".
@ian8206 Personally, i think he was. It was finally nice to see a good young player like kessel land with the team. Leaf fans like myself have been waiting long enough for a GM to pull in a player like kessel. Who knows, hall or seguin could be a bust or turn out to be one of the leagues greatest players lol. But that is if the leafs end up 2nd last or dead last in the league. Hopefully they can pull within 3rd and not give the bruins a top 2 pick.
@ian8206 WRONG at his age the off season is where you add muscle mass and develop into MAN. Missing training camp is a major setback. Look at the difference in stamkos after a good offseason. Garry Roberts moulded him into an athlete and look at him now.
@fready69 Kessel didn't miss the whole off season he didn't even miss training camp. Kessel was injured in the exhibition games. Although you do get some conditioning in exhibition the biggest thing is to get the players in the groove. So yes it would delay him in the regular season, not for that long.
Don't call me an idiot because you made a stupid comparison, dipshit. Sutter can't skate, I don't know what your man crush is with this guy. I'm sorry i disrespected your man
brandon sutter was to our junior team what eberle has been this year. I love all team Canada juniors but i love the ones most who get us those clutch Canadian-esque wins. Tavares is an absolutely horrid skater, how could you not know that? its always been his knock. he can't skate, hes slow but has outstanding hockey iq and hands. just like lemeiux and more recently brandon sutter.he skates like brandon sutter, but worse
I think you may be pumping sutter to be something he's not, yeah, Tavares is slow, but he's not horrid at skating, he knows how to skate around people which makes up for his lack of speed. Not to compare him with Alex Kovalev but Kovalev is slow but he knows how to get through the D.
sure. he did go first overqll for a reason. tavares is great but his skating is weak, like sutters. brandon will be a good player. i project yim as ab offensive jon madden. anyway he was sick for team Canada and fhats all i care about
Your grammar is as good as his skating.. And I don't need to be an English teacher to say that. I speak the English language and I watch hockey like a crazy man, so I can judge.
This kid will be hopefully the one that helps the Islanders get their act together. The Islanders are slowly getting coming back and I give them maybe another 2 seasons before they come back into the playoffs. So far I like what I'm seeing from Okposo, and Bailey. All they need now is defencemen they can mold into what they need.
tiptop's right... only the last "x" amount of teams (look it up, im not sure) gets some percentage of chances to get first pick. it's something like the last 10 teams have lottery to shuffle the first 10 draft picks.
Hopefully the Isles get 1st pick! The whole lottery concept sucks. The worst team should get the first pick. And there's no way that the Isles would trade their first round draft picks.
Are you serious? If there was no draft lottery, then teams would go 0-82 the whole season just to get that 1st pick for a chance for a franchise player. Lottery is there for a reason, any team can tank for the 1st overall pick.
NO A TEAM WOULDN'T LOOSE ON PURPOSE BECAUSE THEY WOULD LOOSE A MAJOR AMOUNT OF MONEY THAT SEASON . THE nhl WOULD MOST LIKELY FINE THEM, AND THIS IS THE nhl SO NO ONE WOULD GIVE UP AND ALLOW GAMES TO BE LOST. HE IS RIGHT THE WORST TEAM DEFINABLY DESERVES THE FIRST PICK NOT SOME STUPID LOTTERY BULLSHIT, THAT'S WHY TOEEWS AND KANE ARE ON THE SAME TEAM AND IS COMPLETE FUCKIN BULLSHIT
yea, isles have good draft picks this year, hopefully they get first so we can pick up John "im fucking filthy" tavares, but if we get second the defensemen from Sweden (not sure of the name) is outstanding as well so we should be looking at a good season next year hopefully
