I listened to puck soup last week. Wyshynski thinks what NYI is doing is real, but he's the only one. I don't think that changed. (The other dudes seem to think it's all luck). This is probably all Wyshynski.

f*** ESPN. We'll lose in regulation now.

First time in any of our lives that Islanders have been #1 on a major website's power rankings? Has to be right? It's not like they had power rankings (or websites!) in the early 80s.

Hope it's not like the Sports Illustrated cover jinx.

How do you like this one Mets' fans?

ESPN is a joke. They never knew anything about hockey anyway. There more interested in political agendas then sports these days.

Lambert is the WORST

His latest "rankings" released 2 days ago were the first one where the Isles (no 6) were placed higher than the Leafs (no 8).

Can't stand him. He's a pompous ass on Twitter too. I miss Lozo on Puck Soup.

"this guy thinks the islanders are gonna make the playoffs without tavares lmao" -- Lambert, 7/1/18
"lmao the islanders are going to be so awful" -- Lambert, 7/24/18

Not true, Linda Cohn loves talking to fellow puck heads like John Buccigross!

 

[Uncle Duke]

Can't believe this is a thread. We are the trendy thing to talk about in the NHL right now. Otherwise, it couldn't be more meaningless.
