If the Islanders can settle out their building issue and create what is then a sure stable environment to lure a couple more seasoned veterans to mentor the youth (Doug Weight was a good example of this, but unfortunately was often injured) this team has tremendous amounts of youthful talent. Tavares, Molson and Parentheau are a strong trio, and then Okposo, Grabner, Neilsen and Bailey make for a strong core. They really have the potential to become a real good team.

And this is why I didn’t get too excited about the Bruins lopsided win the other night. The air has offiicially left the Toronto balloon.

Looks like the phenomena of a paper bag over the head has finally left the Detroit Lions and made it’s way east into Toronto.

Hahahaha atleast there is hope without him. I would love to hear your motto for when Milbury was there. Milbury gutted that franchise. He probally traded away 20 solid players and picks, while getting absolutley nothing in return. There is having a budget, then there is being stupid. And Milbury might have had a budget, but man was he stupid.

I completely agree ever since Millbury left my motto has been “there’s always next year!”

Isles fan here – Can empathize with Leafs fans. Years of mismanagement and losing is grounds for frustration.

Folks on the island have had to put up with a biased media (towards the Rangers), incompetent politicians (regarding the coliseum) and 20 years of no success.

That being said, not every team has four consecutive championship banners hanging in their building – always gotta believe !
