And a lot of them were very soft goals that put the team in a hole early.

I’m rooting for him but you’re in the minority as an Islander fan if you think DP looked good in net last year.

You mean not every team signs a kid for 20 years who breaks records every year, has a rule implemented to handicap his play, is almost never injured, not expensive, makes the playoffs every year? I guess I haven’t really paid attention

According tho the last CBA, you can’t buyout a player while injured. in 24 hours, he’ll be injured. According to Las Vegas, its a 10-1 odds that he stays healthy by the weekend

Likely to miss 2 to 9 months.

He went 3-2-3 on a sub five hundred team.

Tbo, this guy was one of my favourite players as a kid. Hope he gets back to where he was.

Hopefully Nabokov can provide some continuity and RDP can play well enough to be a serviceable back up but at this point, DP looks finished.

He was absolutely abysmal in his few starts last year and seemed to let the first shot of every game into the net. I’m pulling for him but it looks like he’s broke and ain’t getting fixed.

The Isles would jump at the chance to have that kind of consistency in net instead of a revolving door.

No one made fun of them or mellon-head Richter who got hurt demanding an all-star game appearance after getting hurt many times because he was selfish. Rick DiPietro was team USA’s #1 goaltender and unlike Richter was not trashing hotel rooms with Leetch in Nagano. DiPietro was the starting all-star goaltender and allowed only one goal in his one period. DiPietro stopped Crosby’s point streak a few years ago as one of his wins.

Reports from the NYI organization say he will not be participating in camp as a result.

That was a joke, for those who believe it was serious news. haha

Still laughing at his five goals on seventeen shots in game five against the Devils. He was outplayed by three Cap rookies and lost two of those series.

Like make him walk up and down sections selling peanuts or work the cash register in the team store. Anything to earn his keep a little.

One Edmonton Oilers cup to show since 1940. Flukeqvist looked bigger than Snow in his overstuffed equipment, 10-10 goalie in playoffs in front of a team that dove and trapped who again was owned by a 40 year older Brodeur wearing 1/3 the equipment.

Then by 5 games in, he’s playing like crap. By 10 games in, he’s injured again. Only news here is that he obviously has no intentions of retiring. It will be up to Mr. Wang to decide to cut the cord.
