First time I've ever seen it done this way, how freaking cool is this?
5 or so of these with two man crews.
My dad introduced us to Eddie Giacomin after the game, my dad and him spoke fluent Italian to each other....lol

Agree, 32 is enough.
And that $200M TV deal is woefully short considering what the NHL needs.
But also agree with @zappaa on the scheduling for this season. I wouldn’t mind seeing it kept for the most part over an 82 game one with a road trip thrown in.
As a Met fan I did the same with my boys and my Dad in the old Yankee Stadium. You need to see an experience the cathedrals when you can.
What can I say, when you’re old you see stuff.
Infield practice before major league games is also a long forgotten tradition.
It’s where I saw Clemente and Mays show off their arms as a kid.
Itll be interesting. There's one protect spot for grabs amongst Hiwden, Gauethier, PGD, etc.
Proud down on his Devils.
What are your thoughts Devilsfan118?

LOL, haven’t I suffered enough between RU and the Isles
I was around for the Arbor days, best team in hockey top to bottom for 4 straight cups with pretty much no resistance
They won 19 straight playoff series. That's quite a feat.
Took care of business against the hapless Sabres. Now they need to keep the momentum up.
Beat them by the same score 3x in a row. Liked how different guys scored and assisted on goals. Sorokin looks like a capable back up. Pageau's line is coming along. Would like to find one other guy for some defensive depth. The Sabres coach seems to be on very thin ice.
I actually want to see Sorokin take the starting job at some point this year. Offense still scares me , JGP line is critical to our success. We can’t be reliant on the 4th line scoring goals , love the energy though
Yeah, Sorokin is going to be a lot more than a "capable backup", but no reason to do anything but increase his workload gradually when you have Varlamov.
Barzal is really starting to bloom as a hockey player. That between-the-legs goal the other night shows how comfortable he is out on the ice now
He’s now a favorite player of mine. Hard to believe his numbers haven’t been point a game up til now...although this season he’s there.
I’m the kinda guy who would dare compare Sid Crosby to Gretzky to Mark Howe’s face at a Flyers event. Mr. Hockey’s son wasn’t amused.
P.S. I was referring mostly to Crosby’s edge work in the offensive zone.
Barzal is exceptional and would have much higher numbers playing somewhere else. It's annoying the Islanders can go from Tavares to him without missing a beat and Rangers fans are perpetually talking about how Stepan / Brassard / Mika / Strome / Chytil / Howden are underperforming or will never take the next step.
I'll tell ya this though, I don't like the Islanders but I'm a yuuuugggggeeee fan of @RUMcMahon
The schedule is really bizarre and I don't like just playing your 7 division opponents all the time. Since they are only playing 56 this year it is OK but want and expect to see a more BAU schedule next year. This week the Isles play the Bruins tonight and then the Devils 3X by Sunday. We must have a lot of games with the Caps and Flyers toward the end of the year.
They do. It was important that they MOSTLY took advantage of the schedule up till now.
Barzal does what all great players do, he creates open ice for himself and is highly noticeable in every game he plays in.
I need to bad mouth Lefreniere so maybe he does something noticeable again.
Not that anyone else is either, I know

Did you forget the miles of shit the Islanders had to slog through, when Milbury was our GM? Don Maloney wasn't much better, and Garth Snow made as many huge blunders as he did brilliant maneuvers.
Mika is back to shooting his one timers 10 feet wide, so I don’t think being on the first line with a hole at center is helping Laf.
Chytil is their best center right now, and they aren’t going anywhere so they should just roll the Laf/Chytil/Kakko line for a stretch of games.
Quinn is probably thinking about putting Howden on the first line instead.
Howden should only be headed to Seattle in the expansion draft.
