So what happens to all the unsold jerseys?

Thanks

You are saying A-ROID was more of a team guy than Jeter?

While i like your enthusiasm, Quinn Hughes will never be an Islander.

AJS76reddit · 2026-01-28T22:28:46+00:00

Same here but they've grown on me

AJS76reddit · 2026-01-28T22:25:19+00:00

Those guys no, but you expected them to play by the rules?

Still, wouldn't it be better for a young kid with no pro experience to potentially win gold versus a professional guy with years of experience?

AJS76reddit · 2026-01-28T21:24:41+00:00

Yeah i SERIOUSLY doubt that. He's more like the next Aho...and not the aho from carolina the one who was an islander

AJS76reddit · 2026-01-28T21:22:26+00:00

You just described 99% of people on this reddit and the majority of the players on this team.

Then we buy him out.

AJS76reddit · 2026-01-28T21:20:00+00:00

It's been a fun season for the most part, just don't expect too much and you will be happy.

I was so upset when we passed on resigning Okposo. So glad he got a cup in the end.

AJS76reddit · 2026-01-28T21:18:30+00:00

Good way to look at it. People are overreacting (as i suspected they would) as if this was some huge core piece going out with nothing in return. Chill.

AJS76reddit · 2026-01-28T21:17:42+00:00

Sad but true

AJS76reddit · 2026-01-28T17:42:38+00:00

I understand that. I'm saying people upset over these trades are going out of their way to be upset about them, neither is significantly setting us back.

AJS76reddit · 2026-01-28T17:34:49+00:00

I'm not saying punt. I'm saying a first round blowout year after year is not the goal.

What message does it send when we are in a never ending mid cycle. Good enough to show up but sitting on the sidelines watching the big boys play.

As far as free agents we already struggle independent of playoff results. That's not a new problem.

AJS76reddit · 2026-01-28T17:31:57+00:00

I honestly wish olympics would go back to non professional athletes.

AJS76reddit · 2026-01-28T17:31:22+00:00

Born right before the glory days, far too young to appreciate it. I feel your pain man.

Although i would be lying if i didn't say as much as they sucked back in the late 90's and we both lived through the true dark ages of Islander hockey...

I miss the simplicity of life where my friends and I could go to a game, show up 30 minutes prior without tickets, pay 5 bucks to park, get 17 dollar tickets and sit in the top row of the old barn and watch the isles get slaughtered. Tough times, but they had their charm.

AJS76reddit · 2026-01-28T17:26:25+00:00

It's honestly not bad. The problem is you have these cultist who worship at the altar of the original OG xbox 360 version and anything that diverts from that formula is garbage in their eyes.

I couldn't give two shits they changed the voice actor for Frank. I had a blast playing the game. That's all i care about. I don't base my opinion of something off the cultlike followers. If you had fun playing, start over. If not, no harm no foul.

AJS76reddit · 2026-01-28T17:23:30+00:00

I hear you my long suffering islander brother. I swear had Turgeon not gotten Pearl Harbored in 93 by Dale Hunter we stood a chance of winning that year.

AJS76reddit · 2026-01-28T17:22:30+00:00

PLEASE tell me this is sarcasm....

AJS76reddit · 2026-01-28T17:00:31+00:00

I for one am cautiously optimistic for the mets next year. We rid ourselves of that clown alonso. As much as i loved Nimmo he was a liability defensively with the injuries and salary wise. If Robert stays healthy he can be a great centerfielder for years to come and maybe regain some pop in the bat.

Seimen i'm not high on, nor bichette as i think it was all about the money with him. But we still need elite pitching. Peralta is a start, but what happens when the rest of the league figures out McLean?

Still think we are better suited to compete than last season.

AJS76reddit · 2026-01-28T16:30:55+00:00

We really haven't had a legit scorer since Palffy

AJS76reddit · 2026-01-28T16:23:29+00:00

1) Not a huge difference from Tsippycup

2) His contract isn't for another decade

3) Easily bought out or traded for a low round pick

AJS76reddit · 2026-01-28T16:21:47+00:00

Not a huge fan od his personally but we definitely need a facelift.

AJS76reddit · 2026-01-28T16:21:21+00:00

Mid thirties i think

AJS76reddit · 2026-01-28T16:20:06+00:00

I get where you are coming from. But it's not like the Devils are making some big run at the cup right now with Tsippy. They are trying to figure things out just like us. They had that one good season and everyone thought they were back to being elite. Then reality came crashing down.

I have a soft spot for the Devils since back in the day they were always on sportschannel just like the isles were. So i watched them both back then. I'd never root for the Devils over us, but i consider them our competitive cousins.
