Gretzky scored 62 points in 70 games during his final season on an awful Rangers team. Some decline.

You seem to have failed to grasp the point being made about how Gretzky’s long career and eventual decline (by his standards) negatively impacted his PPG stats. He is arguing that Gretzky is indeed the best goal scorer, same as you. Quick to misunderstand and render judgement as usual I see.
 
If the Isles go to back to back conference finals, they are contenders. We sign up for that up even if it’s boring.

They are long shot contenders, very unlikely to win. A real contender, like Tampa, simply have stronger teams.

Is Boston a long shot contender? How about Montreal. Hate to say it but between Boston /isles and Montreal 2 of those 3 will be in the final 4.
Sure its easy to pick the defending Stanley Cup Champs as real contenders but when you get down to the final 4 IMO they all are.

I would not sign up to be the Islanders if that was offered to me that I could lock it in. No guarantees of winning anything there - I’ll take my chances that we end up better.
 
Let me guess, no real insight or insider info here, just pure guessing and hoping he is hired soon so that blog can say they were right and knew something first....
This is the same donkey that was trying to convince people that ADA stole Miller’s puck. Same donkey who claims to be an insider with sources, yet didn’t even realize Leetch was an advisor with the club. He’s a talentless hack that nobody should take seriously. Id trust Dagoon before this blabbering idiot.

I mean if you guys clicked the link, you could have read that this whole thing is based off a couple of Dreger quotes saying that he would not turn down the rangers job if offered

I mean I wouldn’t sign up for anything involving Long Island but I’ll take the winning.

Of course, but you can’t say a team that is going to back to back conference finals isn’t a contender.

Not the same person. That was Adam Hermann, who has published nothing on BSB since that story and hasn’t tweeted on the NHL since tweeting that ADA cleared waivers.

I didnt say they are not a contender. Anyone who makes the playoffs are a contender if you want to make that argument. I said they are a long shot contender, ie there are better constructed teams with much higher chance of winning. Why not be the more well rounded better constructed team?

Like I said, no insight or insider info. He is peddling other credible reporters info within his clickbaity title of his “article”.

The Islanders have faced the worst goaltending in the Playoffs in Jarry and are now facing a Boston team where Mike Reilly is the #3 defenseman. Their defense is battered and bruised and it is showing big time. Islanders are working hard but let’s not neglect massive factors that have them where they are. A slightly better goaltending performance and they dont even make it out of round 1

This guy popped his head out again.

He was running with the story with a segment of tweets that I’m pretty sure he deleted. I remember messaging him directly about it with no response back.
 
He also plays in an era where hooking, holding, headshotting, hip checking, slashing, cross checking, interference, slashing, etc... are actually called and not considered "just part of the game" or "the price you pay for standing in front of the net", etc... Have a look at some of those 80's and 90's games.

Now, you touch a guy on his gloves with your stick during the regular season and it's off to the gallows. Then, it was what you were SUPPOSED to do.

Yet there were far more power play opportunities per game back then compared to now. You might not think it but players are much more disciplined now compared to then. Ovie would of feasted on those powerplay and especially with those terrible goalies.
