How can anyone give the team an "A?" I agree that they have overachieved a exceeded expectations but this is still a league where you are competing against other teams. I would think that an "A" team would be in first place and truly elite. If the Islanders get an A, what does Tampa Bay get? A++++++++?

I give the Islanders a B minus right now.

I give the team an A because they ARE overachieving.

Life is graded on a curve.

Islanders special teams and A don't belong in the same hemisphere.

Meh, I don't see it that way at all. So a team in 9th place gets an "A" because they are overachieving but a team in 2nd may hypothetically get "C" because they are underachieving? That's not grading on a curve that's grading in a vacuum.

Different situations, different expectations.

Do you know how a curve works? At all?

If you’re grading this team on a curve it cannot possibly be an A. When grading on a curve, the top performers only get an A.

Sorry I forgot the sarcasm smiley.

You can certainly give an A, when you compare vs expectations.

 

[Finnislander]

I was expecting us to have 15 less points at halfway of the season. Overachieving that heavily gets an A from me.
You give your grades how ever you want, I give like this.

Since I still don't have my ability to "like", I give you a "well done".

Compared to the league vs expectations.

They get an A in one category and a B in the other for me.

 

[Finnislander]

Since I still don't have my ability to "like", I give you a "well done".

You do seem like someone who does not have ability to really "like" anything, so I'll gladly accept your "well done".

No argument there from me.

Overall, a B, but fi you factor in expectations, it has to be an A.

The team at 5 on 5 has been a high flying A. The special teams grade of a D brings us downa good chunk. 7th worst in the league in both categories is unacceptable.

 

[doublechili]

I give them a B+, but if they do an extra credit report on Harriet Tubman it's an A-.

It all depends on how you want to look at things.
I give them an A for several reasons, but mainly because this is the funnest team I have seen since the 80's...

As a matter of fact Tampa would get an A++++++. They are clearly the class of the league so far and it’s not even close.

Just curious, why didn’t you give F’s to NJ, Detroit and Chicago? I think they deserve them, especially NJ.

Can they write a paper about August Belmont?

Wow. That's quite the statement. The season's still young but as of now I'll easily take 1993, 2002, 2015 and 2016.

Ill do a thesis -- "The troubling logistics of Cupholders in todays arenas" --- would that help?

Funnest?

Sorry -- couldn't ignore that one.

Those teams where not as fun to me as they were not as consistent...
