My college roommate is an Islanders Fan. He is insistent that the islanders are so much better than the penguins. I do not see it. He doesn't think we could even skate with them.
Lets discuss where we stand against other Metro Division and Eastern conference rivals/Foes based on the team on paper and other speculation.
Our division is clearly the best in the league but I think we have an extremely good and deep roster that is capable of playing well with (knock on wood) an injury here and there. We are going into year 2 with HCMJ and he knows the team better and the team knows his system better. It should be a good year and I like that we are not being talked about as Stanley cup favorites:::::
METRO DIVISION
Teams that got better::: (in order that I think)
+Penguins (got jesus mode)
+ Capitals (oshie, williams)
+ Columbus (healthy and better)
= Islanders (only got greiss)
= Rangers (stayed about the same.... got younger prospects make or break)
- Hurricanes (got better but still bad)
- Devils (got better though??? maybe)
+ got better this off season
= stayed the same
- still bad
Who can compete with
Perron- Sid- Kessel
Kunitz- Geno- Hornqvist
Plotnikov- Bonino- Dupuis
Cullen- Sundquist- Beau Bennett/ Bobby Farnham:::::: depending if game calls for grit or skill
Injured: Fehr
Also: Wilson, Rust or Dea are the extra player or call up
