I only have a few links for you today as we get ready for the New York Islanders to come to town.  The Islanders appear to be an improved team that is just a couple of pieces away from being a good team.  Their lineup is scattered with young players that are relishing the opportunity.

I will be doing an appearance on Hockey Night in Long Island tomorrow at 5:30.  Feel free to listen to the show and weigh in with your comments.

 

Sabres Edge: Another quick start
This post from Mike Harrington brings up some really good points about the Sabres start to the season. I would like to offer a counterpoint...why not enjoy it while the team is playing well. I guess we should be realistic about how long the season is but I want them to win every game and I plan on enjoying it.

I had to post this because they list Clarke MacArthur as a player that should be picked up in fantasy hockey. We had many discussions about C-Mac throughout the off-season and he seems to be stepping up so far.

Wang: Lighthouse Project Still On - Slap Shot Blog - NYTimes.com
The Islanders owner has refuted a story in The Long Island Press that said he was abandoning plans to develop a new arena, housing, shopping and entertainment complex in Hempstead.

Finally at peace, Theo Fleury begins to tell his story - Puck Daddy - NHL - Yahoo! Sports
By now you have all heard about the trials and tribulations of Theo Fluery. This book figures to be a must read for hockey fans and this gives you a glimpse into what to expect.

Protect C-Mac!

Hope they don’t move Connoly up to the top line with Vanek out tonight (probably). Love that line so far!

that line looks really good. Lindy would be nuts to change it

Wysh replaced by pod person?

At first I would have thought so because that would be the only way Greg Wyshynski would say anything even remotely complimentary about any Sabre…then I see that it was someone else that wrote the article.
