Bold prediction
The Islanders will not make the conference finals this year.
Lou really iced an OLD and SLOW roster. It's got more talent than the last few teams we had, especially more YOUNGER talent, ironically enough. But there's also some really bad old has-beens here. There's at least 3 of them and I'd like to see how many goals Palmieri has since the start of last season, including playoffs.
Chara, Greene, Parise, all just BAD and washed up. Real lousy that I even had to hear Steve say ''There was no more popular player here about 10 years ago than Zach Parise''. f*** that shit man, Brodeur and Elias were still on the team then. They're hockey hall of famers (Elias might not get in, but he probably will way down the line), Parise is just USA hockey hall of fame.
