I only copied off the other thread, what do I look like, someone who can go to NHL.com and validate?

Time to lower our expectations. Islanders' pick is looking like 20+. I'm not ready to stop expecting a pick at 1 or 2 for our own, though.

Anyhow, they're against Philly tonight. The way they've been playing it should be a relatively easy two points.

 

[StlSwedes]

Well. Certainly expectations have been lowered for the pick. As was stated before, part of me is bummed for the Sabres. But on the other hand, I have a soft spot for the Islanders and their fans. If they are destined to make that pick a late first rounder, I hope they make some serious noise in the playoffs because their way overdue.

Fear not, they'll have a 1-4-1 stretch at some point--as most teams do during an 82-game season-- and the usual suspects on this board will bum rush the thread and claim they've been right all along, and the Isles were never as good as their .700 win% suggested (gee, you don't say), Halak sucks, yada yada yada. This thread hasn't seen its last acrimonious exchange.

I'm still hoping that Tavares finds the Jesus and takes 3 months off to visit the holy land.

Totally OT, but here is one Islander fan who hopes you Buffaloites are all OK up there and aren't in any danger from the weather and floods.

Stay safe guys.

Appreciate it!

Good to hear you guys are ok. And hopefully flooding isn't too bad with the warm weather coming up north and the rain melting all that snow.

As an Isles fan who moved to buffalo recently, Im hoping you guys get Mcdavid. This town loves hockey and its great to see. I'm a big fan.

And the Sabres not bottomed out. Heh.

That's Buffalo, right there.

 

[Darth Milbury]

Fortunately for you guys, ESPN rankings mean jack when it comes to draft position.

From the perspective of the Isles and Blues though, it might mean something like more TV coverage.

 

[couture23]

That is preposterous!

NHL should run a commercial with the tagline "Because It's Buffalo," and flash those power rankings at the end of the ad.

Three straight wins for the Sabres! Which has their fans saying, "Stop it! We want the No. 1 pick!"
