OT: Katie Ledecky

[blitzkriegs]

Would love for this gold medal champion to drop the puck on opening night.

She's only available on Saturdays...so, they'll have to wait for the move back to Nassau.

I am liking our new owner more and more. This is him cheering his niece. I pictured him watching the Isles in the Stanley Cup finals...

I hope to god he's as excited about the islanders.

I hope to God the Islanders give him a reason to be that excited

That was so awesome. He seems like a really great guy. I'm happy he's our new owner.

I watched that and imagined he was at game 7 of the Cup finals and it was Josh Bailey on a breakaway in OT. Oddly enough, when I did that there was a malfunction and the playback stopped just before he started celebrating....

As Ledecky does not have any kids and he's obviously close to his niece, I would not be surprised at all if he brings her in for promo/ad stuff including dropping the puck at a game or more.

I really hope she's not a Caps fan.

She is a beast in the water. And they're saying wait until she grows and learns "how to" swim races, instead of just going balls out. These races aren't even really that close for her.

This should quell your worries.

"How to?" If she wins the 800, she'll be the how to...

Anyway, she killed it again in yesterday's relay. At this point, it's more fair to say that the Islanders are Katie Ledecky fans.

 

[Felix Unger]

OT, but... That Simone Manuel/Penny Oleksiak moment from last night (they tied for gold, Manuel is the first African American woman to win an individual event gold) was really something else.

 

[Drake744]

Yeah I'm a Preds fan but Holy ****......

 

[periferal]

Unheard-of Domination

 

[eoin92]

She absolutely blew everyone away.

Here is a pic of her watching a Wizards Game with Uncle Jon and Michael Jordan.

OT again, but just read that Maya Dirado, who won the 200 backstroke, also got a perfect math SAT score. WTH? That's nor fair.

 

[BillD]

Katie Ledecky = machine.

Winning becomes addictive.
I hope uncle Jon keeps the taste of that in his mouth when it comes to building the Islanders team.

Here's an update on what the Ledecky/Wang family members have accomplished during their family's Islander ownership....

Just saw that Anders Kallur's daughter, Susanna, is an Olympic hurdler for Sweden. She just ran on NBC and they introduced her and then said, "Her father, Anders, was on 4 consecutive Stanley Cups winners with the New York Islanders."
