Disagree with the callup if hes not gonna get any time...has been playing well where he was, a real atta boy would be getting him into a game or two to see if it translates. At least once or twice a year you see guys come up for the playoff push and catch fire. But if you dont have the balls to play them it will never happen. Give the kid a chance, he might be the best "trade" we make at the deadline if he produces.
 
Lets all clap for the toolbag brian compton and his band of morons on his podcast yesterday that doubted ho sang would EVER wear an isles jersey.

Thats the last time i listen to that trash radio show. Just goes to show you nobody has sources like they claim.

I read Lighthouse Hockey daily too.

I'm so sure if you have played hockey and know what swinging habits are? It is a politically correct/not trying to rile up sensitive outspoken young players term for now working hard and not skating hard. Nothing to do with technique--unless not playing hard is a technique. I know Thompson said "he is trying hard." I doubt he wants to start a verbal war knowing how sensitive Ho Sang can be

Its hard to keep blaming "systems or coaches" when his junior team, Canadian junior team, the isles and the soundtigers keep having an issues. Maybe I'm a bit older and jaded, have hired and worked with too many similar people, but when a person has an issue with every authority figure they play with, 29 other teams pass, it tends to be that their attitude is the issue. I hope the kid pans out, but the best thing for the isles is if he turns it up the end of this BP season, and they can use him in a deal

They’ve asked for passion, defensive responsibility, stops and starts in his skating. They’ve got it, and they’ve given him more responsibility with it. He’s adapting to the pro life on and off the ice, filling his time away by reading more (on investing, right now).

It is literally the technique in which you skate.

Three assists would be more realistic.;)
 
I was at the Sound Tigers game on Sunday and had my first look at Ho-Sang since the pre-season. The first two periods the maturity issues stood out. He was doing too much stick handling and trying to be fancy. The third period, I saw a positive change in his play. His game was more simplified and more within the system they were playing. Led to an assist and a break away.

I am surprised with the call up because I left the game questioning when he was going grow up and stop trying to do too much on his own. He has some of the best skill I've ever seen. All he needs is maturity in his play. He has great hustle and work ethic, so that part is there. He just needs to mature his game, so to speak, and he will be a great player.

Obviously, there will be a steep learning curve for him, but I don't think the info referenced above will be an issue for him. He now has JT and Dougie to learn from, and if any of that goes on, he'll be put in the press box or sent down.
 


That was fun while it lasted. Does that mean there's a trade so they don't need him?
 
Garth is a clown. Can't make an impact deal at the deadline so he called up Ho-Sang to try and sell him to us as our big acquisition, now he's back down which I hope means a trade is pending

There is a zero percent chance that is what Garth was thinking.
 
Possible explanation. They're leaving for the road trip, they want jhs to be the next guy up, however, as of now they think they will have 12 forwards ready to go Thursday. So they call jhs to get a practice in and have send him back down and will call him back up if one of the forwards can't go during the road trip.

Unlikely. Teams carry more players than necessary for road trips because if someone gets hurt in warm ups or wakes up sick they need the extra guy. Ho-Sang would've stayed if they only had 12 forwards ready to go.

Neither Compton nor Carver are rocket scientists that's for sure, but they do their best to give some Islander information to the fans which is more than any of the local newspapers (save Newsday)) do. Listening to their broadcast yesterday, I got the impression that Andy Graziano was the smartest and best informed on the current state of the Islanders. I will say that Compton and crew are a huge step down in terms of intelligence and info from the founder of Islanders Point Blank, Chris Botta!!
