Draft Lottery Victory Party: Open thread of John Hedvares
[Edit: We won! Yes, the Islanders won something big in 2008-09! Thanks everybody for the "congrats" and such. Keep 'em coming. We'll have more in the morning.] It was the best of times, it was the worst of times. The future was bright, the future was absolute, nauseating uncertainty. We need a...
LHinks: Lottery Day & lots at play
My brother, a rational man -- and also my attorney (but I contradict myself) -- will nonetheless occasionally buy a lottery ticket. When he confesses this bit of curious behavior to me, I like to remind him that his chances of winning are roughly equal to my chances of being mauled by a cheetah...
Pause the Tavares hype for just a moment
And we're off! ... Islanders blogfather and former PR czar Chris Botta has grabbed a punch bowl full of John Tavares kool-aid, and he's hitting that bowl hard, exciting the die-hards. He's advocating that, should the Islanders' 48.2% chance at the #1 pick hit gold Tuesday, they break with...
Islanders clinch Tavares/Hedman in 6-1 loss to Pittsburgh
And so it is done. Last overall is sealed. A lottery guarantee of a top-two pick is in the bag. Come late June, either John Tavares or Victor Hedman -- Hype 1 and Hype 1A in this year's edition of the teenager-stalking hockey cult -- will be slipping on the (royal?) blue and orange of the New York...
The Tavares Race!
With my prodigous mathematical skills, most notably the ability to add and subtract, I have determined what needs to happen for the Maple Leafs to get themselves a lottery pick. Since the new SBN "Fancy Picture Widget" hates everything but plain text next to funny photos of Brent Sutter realizing...
Jesse joins the young and hyped
Two story lines (on-ice, at least) have been recurring through the second half of this Islanders season, and both are still in play as we enter the final week. With Colorado's win over an absolutely flat Canucks team last night, suddenly the Avs are five points ahead of the Islanders with four...
Islanders Gameday: No really, Bolts, I insist
After you. >>No no, after YOU! No really, your the guest. I insist: after you. >>But you're missing Streit and Okposo -- you need this. Ah, but you're without Lecavalier -- that's like losing Michael Jordan! Please, the points are all yours. In regulation time, if you would. Tampa...
Sens wipe ice with Islanders; tanks get a boost
Almost as significant as the Islanders regulation loss in Ottawa, in the grand scheme of things, was Atlanta and Tampa Bay hilariously deciding their game in extra time last night to create three unneeded points. With the shootout loss, the Lightning now sit in 29th place, six points ahead of the...
Coyotes Recieve St. Pats' DOANation. Down Sharks 4-3.
Image idea c/o Moridin417. Yeah i'll steal your thoughts. That was an excelent finish to a pretty lively game at Jobing.com arena. We took a little deviation from our tank plan, but that's okay. We always show up to play the tough teams. Even if we don't show up for the whole thing necessarily....
LHinks: Island greenery
If you're Irish (or even Irish by marriage), you don't need reminding. But today you should be wearing green or breaking away from work/school/firewatching for a beer (or six) and corned beef n' stuff... Atlanta altered its Tavares standing last night thanks to Kari Lehtonen's 49 saves (10 on...
