Bellmore Kennedy? I'm class of 1976.
God, how many Merrick and Bellmore bred do we have here? Meroke Lanes for me.

Mepham, 1988.
I went sideways down Bellmore Ave late at night during a snowstorm after some jackpot bowling at Meroke back in the day. Ahh Youth.

Mackenzie is a hack!
Still coming to grips with my feelings on this. Can't tell if I love or hate it?!?

Like the idea, though the traditionalist side of me looks and thinks that the Stars took a page out of a book the Jets should have been using (whiteout.) Kinda like seeing the Seattle shoulder patch and thinking it belongs 'elsewhere.'

I don't like it. The text is too hard to read on the crest.

I like it as well as their all black with neon green third unis. It's not a new standard, it's just for a few games so I would find it very acceptable if I were a Dallas fan. In every case a whole lot better than Isles uninspirational "new" reverse retro design which should be forgotten the second after it was presented.

We probably need a new thread for the expansion draft since the chatter on protection lists is going to start soon.
As much as I'd hate it, a lost season benefits the Isles by aging their contract liabilities.
With a flat cap or worse in the near term, the only sure fire keepers on my list are Barzal, Beau, Nelson, JGP, Pulock, Pelech and Mayfield.
Losing any one of Bailey, Eberle or Lee hurts but the dollars freed up in a flat cap era should allow an equal or better replacement player.
Fire away.

I feel like we also need a LI Nostalgia thread considering what's going on above.
I agree with your list and in order of who I would prefer Seattle to take out of your 3 - Eberle, Lee, Bailey (if Lee wasn't the captain, he would be first).

I just moved a bunch of it. Contrary to what some may think, there are still some rules.

Some good (and interesting) news. According to The Athletic, the NHL is planning a Jan. 15th start date, leaning towards a 56-game schedule. Training camps would begin Jan. 2nd. The NHL also intends on having teams play in their own arenas, provided approval from states. If the pandemic continues to worsen, they may opt for hub cities, where multiple teams (in close geographic proximity) play each other.

Finally, some positive news about a start date. I am pretty excited to see what we have in Sorokin.
And I think the shorter regular season benefits the isles because they won't be so exhausted by the end.
Just get into the playoffs.

Everything I’ve been hearing on hockey central and 31 thoughts regarding the Canadian teams, is an all Canada division, and that they will play each other.
The US has been mentioned for division realignment, but it hasn’t been really mentioned whether they would only play within your own divisions or have inter division games.
personally I say, play only within the division. Playing each divisional opponent 8 times would be awesome. The only downside is the proposed divisional realignment has us in the strongest division. (Based on last years point percentage)

I heard they were likely going to re-align to minimize travel completely. So they'll come up with the easiest travel schedule for all teams that allows them to maximize games in a quick period of time. It's always interesting where the line is when it comes to travel for the NYC Metro area. Do we get Boston and Buffalo or do we get Philadelphia and Washington D.C.? If we get Philadelphia and D.C., who is Carolina, Florida, and Tampa Bay getting included in theirs?

the speculation for our division (by Lebrun, I think it was) is: NYI, NYR, NJD, PHI, BUF, BOS, WSH, CAR

Interesting, I would have thought Carolina would stay in the south, with teams like Tampa, Florida, maybe Dallas, etc.

I checked out Staples recent Q & A with fans ( need a subscription). His most interesting points were....
1. Lou is not prepared to pay some big price to move Ladd. It'll likely have to be LTIR if his cap hit is removed (and that remains a real possibility). He also mentions that if Parise was moved to LI, Ladd would be going the other way. I felt Staples contradicted him self here because taking on Parise's contract and moving a good prospect or a 1st would be paying a big price.
2. Staples thinks the Thompson coaching criticism is unwarranted, that it should be directed more at the Isles scouting staff.
3. He felt the Toews trade was inevitable because of the upcoming cap crunch next offseason, when Sorokin, Pelech and Beau are due raises.
4.Staples expects plenty of debating among nyi fans when the team has to decide between protecting Leddy or Mayfield, in the Seattle expansion draft.
By the time of the expansion draft, both Mayfield ($1.45m) and Leddy ($5.5m), will be one yr away from unrestricted free agency. If Leddy doesn't fit long term into the isles plans, if he is not signing an extension, then I think Leddy and his big cap hit need to be left unprotected.

I still think Varly goes in expansion.
I agree on Thompson, felt silly being critical of him when last year our top 4 was homegrown talent.
