After the lousy turnout I would not be very encouraged. I'm sure some corp will crop up and buy the Isles if the situation arises. It might even be Jay-Z.

Because the Islander's have die-hard fans that care about the team to a ridiculous degree, it's been panic city.

TOH board declines unless the project is scaled down tremendously or 2. Wang sells the team to a new owner(or group of owners more likely), Bettman and the NHL refuse to move the franchise (just like phoenix) and the TOH will grant the new owners a new arena and not much else.

They wouldn't even show a replay on the broadcast last night or show the medical people attending to Okposo at all. Hopefully Okposo bounces back quickly and Phaneuf gets a fine.

Yeesh. lol Thu, 17 Sep 2009 19:57:11 +0000 http://hockeyindependent.com/blog/?p=745#IDComment34918857 http://hockeyindependent.com/blog/?p=745#IDComment34918572 It's a shame that Thompson has such trouble producing any offense. He skates like the wind and has shown toughness, but I feel he needs to do more. Hopefully if Nate makes the team he can help the Isles in the Face-off and Penalty Kill areas.

Garth snow signed him to a two-way deal so under that inference, I'm assuming he won't be a mainstay. Thu, 17 Sep 2009 19:32:49 +0000 http://hockeyindependent.com/blog/?p=745#IDComment34916920
