Dubas vaporware trainwreck is on the tracks.

As long as the islanders don’t hire him, he’s the gift that keeps on giving.

Crosby and a 3rd for Barzal.

I don’t need a third but if you insist.

Crosby is old. I want insurance.

Washington blew a 3-1 lead in the third and lost in OT.
Blow it up

Nope.

Not until it becomes pervasive as it is with the Islanders, and not until Ovechkin goes as cold as he was last year.

NJ sweeps the Panthers, so those who are still bemoaning that blown lead need to acknowledge how good they are . . .

Oooof penguins lol

So Connor McMichael now is one goal away from the league lead, and was picked two spots after Holmstrom. He was one of the “safe” picks while Holmstrom was off board.

We had posters on this board as recently as last season breathing a sigh of relief that we didn’t pick him.

Probably good chance if the isles picked him, he wouldn't be putting up those numbers on the islanders lol

IDK if it was "breathing a sigh of relief" as much as pointing out that the drumbeat of how bad a pick Holmstrom was and how we should have picked Tomasino or McMichael got relatively quiet. But it's back! Let's check back in a year or two. Of course, maybe we would've taken Tomasino and everyone would have been excited about the pick, and he's trending towards being a waiver guy these days. It's a crapshoot.

Nashville forum says Tomasino was given the 'make one mistake and get buried treatment' by Brunette
