Standing Eye to Eye with the New York Islanders


Hello fellow Islander fans,
This seems a sad post as much as many have dwelled over the last few weeks. Big C and I have discussed the current Islander season. Basically we came up with this...after a bitter loss against the Flyers, the playoffs are seemingly out of reach. 12 games remain and the schedule does not ease up. The Islanders need to win at least 9 of the 12 games, and teams ahead of us need to go around .500 or below that. Hey, anything is possible, just remember last year.

Okposo - It is been told to me that after playing his 10th NHL game, Kyle Okposo's contract will take affect and double his current salary. When it is kicked in, Kyle is set to make $850,000 for 3 seasons. With another $850,000 in incentives, which will once again double his salary. Personally I believe he will be a great hockey player. I am excited and now that the 9 games he will most likely be up for are almost upon us. Kyle currently has 22 points (8 goals and 14 assists) in 26 games.

should have titled this one "New York Islanders 07-08 season Eulogy." Hopefully we'll get a good look at okposo, cause any video i have seen of him is that one goal thats on youtube.
