your welcome tonight guys!!
Doesn't surprise me. Despite the "experts", I had the Islanders as my darkhorse team before the first puck dropped for the season.
Keep up the good work.
Let the records also show, that I had Philly not making the playoffs.
So success is counted in ups only?
So Vancouver, San Jose and such have sucked the last 10 years?
One big difference though, the Islanders live and die by Tavares. The Leafs can lose Lupul and survive. Same would not be the case for the Isles if they lost JT.Islanders are probably the second best team in the Atlantic right now. It's between them, Washington and Toronto for 4th best in the east on current form.
Actually they have a lot in common with the Leafs...both have forwards who can win games by themselves, a weak blueline and goalies that make or break them. They won't try harder vs us the way the Leafs do and I question whether Nabakov can hold up his current level at his age but we have already seen how scary they can be.
