Zach, do you remember this park? You used to go here when you were little to play on the swings with your dad.

 

[Just A Bit Outside]

Maybe he just likes ice tea.

 

[Lindberg Cheese]

Heard He’s doing some sightseeing like the Jungle Room at the Commack Motor Inn

100% came for All American and a can of Arnold Palmer.

The Decision 2021

 

[DingDongCharlie]

Parise - Barzal - Palmieri
Kovalchuk - Zajac - Sykora

That’s an excellent top 6

Where’s Elias?

 

[DingDongCharlie]

Where’s Elias?

Come on man Elias is 45, let’s be realistic

3rd line obviously

Sykora is still playing though? He’s probably close to 50 by now.

Sykora is still playing though? He’s probably close to 50 by now.

He’s only 44 and had a 9 year rest. I have faith

and their third line is great too with Elias-Madden-Langenbrunner

The only question remaining is do you sign Bobby Holik to big money and become the top contender in the East

Bobby Holik decided to retire when they stopped making wood sticks for him.

Does he improve NYI at all? Their depth is a strength already.

All American is the closer

The guy is okay with being clean shaven. That alone makes him a Lou guy

 

[CupsOverCash]

Meh is he still good? Probably wrong but feels like chasing a name here.

Parise would presumably be the #3LW with Pageau and Wahlstrom. Parise would replace:

Uncle Leo
Bellows
Ross Johnston
Dal Colle (if he's back)

I'd say he is an upgrade.

Over Leo as a third liner yes.

 

[PatriceBergeronFan]

Over Leo as a third liner yes.

I somehow forgot about Komarov. Definitely an upgrade.

Does Bellows not least deserve a look?

Hard to say. He had a lousy regular season last year, but put up 2g 3pts in 4 playoff games (tied for the team lead) and the season before that he had 25g. If last season's regular season was a fluke, he could still be a useful player and improve the Islanders' LW position and possibly the PP. But if thats his new standard at this age and the playoffs were the fluke, then probably not. Either way, hopefully it is a short term contract.

It would give us a more defined third line, it is usually the spare parts line or the Pageau + spare parts line since we got him.

Overrated, however there is a White Castle right next door. Mmmmmmmm tasty!
