The Islanders have another challenge to face tonight: The 15-11-3 Atlanta Thrashers who are holding onto the eighth seed in the Eastern Conference. That's good compared to the 5-16-5 last place Islanders' record.
Yesterday, in an interview with Islanders TV, Garth Snow made it clear that he's not going to trade any of his young core unless it helps in the long run. So, there you have it. He's not going to try and improve this team in any way unless it involves bringing up rookies from the AHL, who haven't played an NHL game. Good idea, Garth.
Dear Wang: It's time to sell this team, bud.
So as you can see, it full out frustrates us fans/bloggers whatever, to see this team drop 18 out of 19. There is absolutely no excuse for it. They don't play like a professional NHL sports team at all. They fail to get the puck to the net which results in a low score. Last game vs Boston, Frans Nielsen had a penalty shot goal. That's almost a gimme. Then, Rob Schremp was the only Islander to light the lamp. The Islanders need a better scoring source because you and I both clearly know that this current lineup isn't going to hold up.
Rumors:
- Elliotte Friedman tells me that several teams show interest in the Islanders defenseman James Wisniewski, but will most likely wait until cap hit is lower.
- Also, put Marco Sturm on your Islanders wish list. I'm hearing that it would only take cheap D or a draft pick for him. I guess because the Bruins are trying to clear cap space. via Brian Huddle.Garth Snow: It's time to act.
If Wisniewski is traded then say hello to a 1st overall draft pick. Marco Sturm has a no trade clause that he waived to go to the Kings, doubt he would waive to come to the Island. Rumor for the Canucks is Comeau for Bieksa, great idea, trade one of the few guys to show he can score goals, also the forward with the most ice time, from a team that is hurting for offense.
ReplyDeleteWell again these are just rumors it isn't 100 percent true. I agree with you on the Comeau/Bieksa trade but I doubt Garth will trade a forward away who can be a goal scorer.
