Defensive systems, I suppose. Fran was right this afternoon. The Islanders suck. But it's not all their fault. Look at what they're working with:
These guys don't even have one real scorer. They are loaded with future scorers and have one former scorer, but no right-now scorers. And when I say defense is the worst thing to happen to the NHL I don't mean the Islanders defense - they're great. At sucking. BOOM!
Check this out, the Islanders leading scorer is Kyle Okposo, of the B squad Olympic Team. Guess how many points he has. Yep, 41. 41! That's the 4th lowest point total for a player that leads his team in scoring in the league. That's a GD joke! What happened to scoring in the NHL when actual defensive systems arrived, you're asking yourself? What happened is that Kyle Okposo started leading your team in scoring with 41 points and less than 20 games left. In 1986-87 the Buffalo Sabres were the worst team in the league with 64 points when the year ended. The Islanders currently have 60, so that Buffalo team REALLY sucked. They scored God Damned 280 fucking goals that year! The Islanders have like 45 goals this year, no joke. Dave Andreychuk had flipppin 73 points that year! Defenseman Phil Housley had 67 points. The NHL should sell that year to the casual fan.
Defensemen should have to play with their sticks upside down on their own side of the red line. Run that one by the GMs.
If you're sitting at the bar waiting for someone and reading this on your genius phone before you head down to the Wach, well then Amen for you. You should finish that one and have another one. You are the salt of the Earth.
Here's my predictions for tonight - the Flyers score 10 goals. You get laid and call out tomorrow.
