farewell chris campoli. definitely up there with my favorite players, but he wasn't really playing that great. now it's jack hillen's time to step up and we've got another first round pick. it's gonna be a huge draft for the islanders. two first rounders, including hopefully the first overall, and three second rounders. it's been a tough year for the islanders. i'll admit it i haven't watched every single game, hey it's not easy. but it's a rebuilding year, and we've got a lot of positives moving forward. as the season starts to wind down i find myself watching the games no matter what. i love hockey. it's my favorite sport. during the offseason all i think about is next season. now next season is truly gonna be something to look forward to. dipietro is gonna be fully recovered, hopefully. i mean dipietro going down so early absolutely killed us. he wins so many games for us. without him this team goes absolutely no where. we've got bailey and okposo who have been playing amazing, especially okposo in particular. everytime he has the puck he can make plays, it's really fun to watch him play. maybe we'll sign long island native mike komisareck who would be perfect for this team. bergenheim, nielsen, hunter, park, this team has got a lot of positives. like i said before jack hillen should step in full time now. you throw tavares, hopefully, into there along with a couple other great prospects, you have yourself an extremely good team in around 2 or 3 years. its a long process which requires a lot of patience, but it will pay off soon. i absolutely love what garth snow has done with this team because it is what it so desperately needed. he's a gm who at first i was like what the fuck is he doing here but he has really won my respect and is doing a hell of a job. i've also met him once too he's a pretty nice guy. one time he went to visit the fans waiting in line for tickets, and this was like two years ago when bergenheim wasn't on the team in russia. i asked him i was like whats the deal with bergenheim is he coming back? and he was like well we'll talk to him at the end of the season is seeing his situation. in a nutshell, he came back. i like to think i helped in that process. definitely not, but hey its still kind of cool. being an islanders fan isn't easy by any stretch of the imagination, but in due time the isle faithful will be rewarded. garth snow is building a team that will lead us to the promised land.
on another note, the knicks are playing amazing basketball. just demolished the raptors yesterday 127-97. i smell playoffs.
