Thomas Hickey, all the guests and the whole crew over there calling

I’d put this crew up against any other broadcast team in the game or in any sport.

Just wondering when Long Islanders are going to get an answer on how losing 25-40k jobs is a good thing.
We also were promised answers on what is being done to replace the billions and billions of dollars to the local economy lost when Amazon was chased away.
I will not abide Barry Trotz bashing. The guy took an
#isles
that was on the literal trash heap and made it a contender and took us farther than anyone had since AL ARBOUR was coach. Thank him, wish him the best and that's it. I'll say it again - Thank you Coach Trotz.
Lets have a look at how former
#isles
players were treated on their return to LI:
Okposo: All positive.
Nielsen: All positive.
Martin: All positive.
Hamonic: All positive.
Halak: All positive.
de Haan: All positive.
Tavares: All negative.
I wonder why that is?
Friend of mines wife ordered an

@FanaticsSucks
Great job Fanatics. Can’t wait to see how you fuck up the
@nhl
jerseys like you did with MLB.
The
#isles
have 12.2 million in cap space right now for next season without off loading other contracts. They have 2 RFAs.
Dobson (3mAAV)
Bellows (1mAAV)
After they sign them, Let's estimate they'll have 8.2m to play with. If Forsberg makes it to UFA? He has to be the target.
@WrestleClips
Asuka may be the only person I have seen in wrestling who can cut a promo in a language other than English to an English speaking crowd and kill it.
@NHLSeattle_
Everyone get ready. All Seattle Kraken games will feature the offensive zone, the defensive zone, the neutral zone and an autonomous zone, where they allow derelicts to take over a section of the ice where penalties can’t be called and it’s ok to abuse officials.
I can’t even explain what I’m feeling right now.
It’s more than
#isles
game day. It’s game 7, Stanley cup semi finals one chance to slay the beast and move to the finals and the right to play for the cup.
How’s everyone feeling?
Long Island needs to get its shit together and start producing more superstar NHL players. This “I wanna go home and play” stuff is really getting tiresome,
#isles
People love to hammer on Lou on this app but t’s time to give the guy some props and acknowledge the man.
The Romanov & Horvat moves were steals. Picking up Reilly has more than paid off.
#isles
@NYIslanders
Thank you Josh Bailey. One of the classiest, most loyal players in franchise history. 1000 games for one team is an excellent achievement and always elevated his game in the playoffs. Bedard has a great mentor in his first pro season.

It’s unbelievable to me how some people just don’t get that Trotz leaving the
#isles
wasn’t just a standard coach firing.
Trotz had coached NHL hockey non stop for 22 years. He just had a family tragedy and wanted a break and wasn’t going to sign an extension. It’s that simple.
I’m all for gloom and doom after that shit last night.
That being said? People willfully ignoring that Barzal has been out for 2 months while pontificating that the team needs to be broken up is…
Fucking stupid.
#isles
I can’t wait until the
#isles
get McDavid, Pastranak, and Seth Jones. I mean they better get them, otherwise Lou sucks.
Pretty much the craziest shit is said on Twitter. Figured I’d join in.
It wasn’t a bad dream.
#isles
I can’t think of a more appropriate headline. I’ll never forget meeting him at an alumni scrimmage. He was So gracious He took the time to shake so many hands and talk to so many of us for so long. They don’t win 4 cups without him. Godspeed sir.
I see steel rising from the Belmont Arena site. You can see the outline of the arena floor/rink, the footings for the stands. They are kicking ass.
#isles
Thoughts on
#isles
signings today:
Sorokin- No brainer. He may be the best G in the NHL.
Engvall- term is a bit much AAV is a steal.
Mayfield- term is way more than it should be but I think it’s an AAV discount.
Varly- too many years, good AAV
All in all very good day
@CBSNews
@LanaZak
I challenge anyone, left, right to watch this whole thing and tell me this guy isn’t 100% correct on his view of the right & left wing media and what Americans for the most part want, and that’s to come together and stop the partisan bullshit bickering already.
There’s a few things that need to be said.
This
#isles
season proves:
1) Coaching is important.
2) Snow was horrible at picking coaches.
3) Snow was good at drafting players.
4) Individuals don’t create winners, teams do.
5) Culture is important.
6) Lou is smarter than you.
I am sick and tired of:
1) hearing whining about Barclays.
2) people having to point their fucking fingers at one player after a loss to assign blame.
3) whining about the power play when that didn’t get us here in the 1st place.
4) Bailey bashers.
#isles
Make no mistake. It may have taken 82 games but the
#isles
making the playoffs after where they were at before getting Horvat and losing Barzy for the year….. huge accomplishment.
Let’s make some noise and shake
@UBSArena
I can't remember a guy the
#isles
picked up in the last 10-15 years, other than Robin Lehner, that so far exceeded fan expectations when they were acquired than Thomas Greiss.
People love to crap on ESPN and yeah no one they have can compete with our announce team.
That being said, the image quality is so much better than MSG. I don’t know what MSG is doing to the image before they broadcast it…But it can’t be good.
#isles
@JRDuke136780
I mean, i'll take a struggling team with this roster over an unsustainable islanders team that sucks and is crushing it in November anyday.
#isles
are now even in games played with Pit, Fla, and Ott, and have a game in hand on the Caps.
Their destiny is in their hands.
Tomorrow, go get 2 points.
Wait a second. Noah Dobson left Twitter?
Hope you’re proud of yourselves,
#isles
fans for the most part are the best.
There’s a little dark corner where the trolls are and all of you fucking suck.
All this Twitter trade talk I feel the need to say this.
I can be convinced that trading pretty much anyone off the
#isles
isn't a horrible idea for the right deal.
Except Ilya Sorokin. You do NOT trade a franchise goaltender, one the likes we have not seen here in decades.
#isles
twitter - Same team same shit same never winning.
Islanders win 7 out of 9 games.
Still
#isles
twitter - yeah they’re winning but they can’t keep winning games like this. And Bailey stinks and Ho Sang should be brought back.
I will never ask the
#isles
to be put in an outdoor game again. it’s just an excuse for the league to get the Rainjiz an extra home game and a win handed to them on national TV.
Hope it never happens again.
Funny how certain “people” are still trying to chirp about Lou having to trade Toews, but are calling Sakic a “master deal maker” for trading Ryan Graves for less.
#isles
If I’m the
#isles
GM, (haha) I give this another 10-14 days. They don’t turn it around I find new homes for any or all of the following:
Pageau
Bailey
Beauvillier
Varlamov
Mayfield
Bailey
Palmieri
Aho
Time for bodies to drop.
Yeah we all knew this was going to be a tough team to beat.
That being said, I don't know what gets me more disgusted.
The
#isles
blowing that lead or the group of Islanders "fans" on here who run around afterwards screaming how right they were that they were going to fail.
You just can’t defend Lambert any more. I have no idea what’s happened to this team over the last 2-3 weeks and neither does he.
Changing the coach at this point almost seems like a necessity to try and salvage this season.
#isles
@91Tavares
Long Island stands with the victims & their families in Danforth.
Terror knows no affiliation but what its name implies.
See you on 2-28-19.
@lindylou266
ok here goes...
The Islanders have more points than them.
See.. you get 2 points for a W, RW & SOW and one point for a SOL or OL.
Oh and NONE for a RL.
It's only been this way for TWENTY FIVE YEARS... so this concept maybe hasn't sunk in to some people.
#BREAKING
: Connor McDavid has been extremely frustrated & upset with the direction of the Oilers.
We spoke with a player on the team, He wished to remain anonymous.
"It's end of days for Connor, unless something changes drastically. He's not gonna wait."
#FreeMcdavid
✊
O... Kadri is trending again.
#isles
Wonderful. We can look forward to the usual:
1) Age bashing Lou
2) Random Bailey comments
3) Saying he isn't a fit or wont help.
4) Say no one is ever coming here for the millionth time.
5) Make a joke about Chara.
I’d normally be disappointed by what happened last night… but it’s easy to forget
#isles
are playing without half of their defense.
Fight through it, keep piling up points and they’ll get to the dance when it matters.
This really has been the season from hell for the
#isles
.
I’m thinking about where they were one year ago and now, throw in the loss of Bossy, Gillies and Jean Potvin?
Wake me up in September.
It’s time to do giveaway

Gotta love my fellow
#isles
fans.
I’ve been hearing the bullshit that no one ever wants to come/stay here for years.
Now I have to hear the bullshit that signing a UFA Is an overpay. Are we EVER happy about ANYTHING?
If this is true? You should be ecstatic you got this guy.
