So What Are The Columbus Blue Jackets Up To?

So-Long Islanders

Found July 03, 2007 on Hot Stove New York: Yardbarker Blogger Network
PLAYERS: Michael Peca,  Jason Blake,  Ryan Smyth,  Jon Sim
TEAMS: Toronto Maple Leafs,  New York Islanders

Instead they find themselves without a paddle and you-know-where.

Via Hot Stove New York  |  July 02, 2007
Captain Canada is now Captain Colorado, as Ryan Smythhas signed a five-year deal with the Avalanche, joining the on-going free agent exodus off of Long Island. Viktor Kozlov, Tom Poti, Richard Zednik, and Jason Blake all left the Island as well. But Islanders' GM Garth Snow did agree to terms with former-Thrasher Jon Sim. So he's got that going for him.

Random Islanders Musings

Via The Rivalry  |  March 11, 2009
Things are fairly quiet in Islanders Country. Or, at least it seems that way. They say winning cures all ills; we Islanders fans don't know much about that.
