I never trusted that those Islanders anyway.

Talk about your all time backfire.

Talk about your all time backfire.

lol, or a "nice guys finish last". To be honest, if they were celebrating the story we would have heard would have been about how seeing them celebrate caused the Oilers fire to burn deeper, as they wanted to be celebrating like that the next season. This just in, pro sports guys are exceptionally competitive, and Gretz/Mess/Lowe/etc would have come up with another reason to dig deeper. The already classis line from Jordan of "and I took offence to that" applies here. In half those stories, Jordan had ZERO reason to take offence, he was just making up false stories and situations to cause himself to try harder.

Well that’s disappointing news.

The home jerseys should be navy, but I wish they had the three stripes and regular sized arm numbers.

I really wish they’d adopt this. The Condors use the new colors with the traditional striping and its fantastic. The Navy/Neon colors are awesome but that alternate is desperately lacking white.

Yes, please. Blue should always be the main colour.

The current jerseys are associated with Chiarelli and disappointing hockey.

I hope they get rid of the traffic cone orange and go back to Royal Blue as the defacto home jersey, keep the blue/orange as home thirds and wear the sorta retro white as a road 3rd.

I think it's mainly just how tough the guy was. I agree though, helluva nice guy but the first time I saw him was pre-season when he was on Florida. I told whoever I was with that he was the worse player I had ever saw. Not long after we got him on waivers.

One of the weirdest fights I ever saw was between McIntyre and Prust. Steve started with some of the heaviest body shots I can recall and they hurt Prust to the point that after the fight he didn't return to the game and was placed on the injured list with "spine lean". I don't know why but to this day I find that classification quite funny.

Gonna keep beating this drum. The current color scheme the team is using is fantastic, the navy jerseys they’re using right now are just terribly executed. This is a better look than the royal blues.

Always disliked orange as one of the team colours.

why dont they use actual copper thread its antimicrobial and would have saved a few staph infections over the years, and it looks cool...
