One-A-Day: New York Islanders

New York Islanders


It was a sad day at TheHockeyJunkies lair when we heard that Ted Nolan was fired. It’s not because we like him, it’s because we can’t call him a diver every game.

But we are sure that we will hate the new coach just as much as we hated Nolan. It’s a fact, jack. As Penguins fans, we naturally hate every other team in whatever division Pittsburgh happens to be in.


We don’t even want to mail this in

The Islanders are only good for a few cute players and two points each time the Penguins play them. Now that Nolan is gone, we can only make fun of Snow and Witt and Wang and…Guess there are more people to make fun of there.

Just like Toronto, the Islanders are in competition for last place in the Conference. Maybe they really want John Tavares.

But if they were serious about getting Tavares, Snow would have hired John Tortorella to coach the team. We would have burned down Club Erotica in excitement if he was hired into the Atlantic Division.

In the 08 Draft, Snow drafted two younger brothers of NHL-ers. David Toews and Blake Kessel. What’s so funny is that Kessel is actually better looking than Philly. Snow also drafted Josh Bailey.

Noodles freaked because of his ears. She’s super-excited about seeing him play against the Penguins when he’s 27 cause that’s how slow the Islanders develop their youngsters.

Mike Comrie is an Islander. And by osmosis, Hilary Duff is also an Islander. Ew.

Hotness Level (on a scale from 1 to Gary) – negative 7

Ricky alone deserves a 5 just for his hotness factor but with Weight, Witt, Nielsen, Campoli, Hilbert and others on the team it brought the collective level down so far that we couldn’t even begin to calculate the numbers.
