Feable n. - aka N Y Rangers, an NHL team that is based, solidly and historically for decades, in NYC. also one of the top money making teams in the league since forever. a franchise that has all the money in the world to spend, BUT...has only produced 1 winner since 1940 (which many call the FLUKE OF 94).
The Islanders will always have the Dynasty. aka Potvins Cups. 4 in a row and a 5th straight Cup appearance. 19 Playoff series wins in a row. well worth hard times for 20 years! You can't even fathom a Dynasty, being a Rag fan. you have a FLUKE. might as well just go fishing!
What the Rangers have is 1 (FLUKE) since 1940.
I wouldnt settle for anymore.
The JOKE is on YOU! which is so funny cause YOU are a JOKE!
LMFAO****!!!!!!

The 5’11, 178-pound defenseman from Grand Rapids, MN, also appeared in 10 games in the United States Hockey League last season with the Omaha Lancers.
.....Building through the Draft. Garth Snow is staying on the course. Griffin Reinhart is going to be a blue chipper!
Let's go Islanders!!!
Really like the Somerby gamble. 6'4" 232lbs HS Senior, DAMB!
Raw but can't teach size! He will probably add an inch or two and 20-25 pounds.........The next Chara?
Now throw $$$$$ at Jason Garrison and Ryan Whitney.

How badly did New York Islanders general manager Garth Snow want to move up two spots in this year's NHL Draft? Enough to give up all of his team's picks, according to a report.
Blue Jackets GM Scott Howson selected defenseman Ryan Murray with the second pick Friday night in Pittsburgh, but Aaron Portzline of the Columbus Dispatch reported Monday that the Jackets could've dropped to the No. 4 spot held by the Islanders -- and added six other picks -- if the deal was completed.
The Islanders reportedly offered the Blue Jackets picks Nos. 4, 34, 65, 103, 125, 155 and 185 for just the No. 2 pick. That would have given the Jackets a total of 12 picks -- Nos. 4, 31, 34, 62, 65, 95, 103, 125, 152, 155, 182 and 185.
Instead, the Jackets took Murray and the Islanders chose defenseman Griffin Reinhart with the fourth pick. The Islanders also used their final six picks on blueliners.
Really???????????
That would have been crazy and RIDICULOUS for Ryan Murray? regardless the right pick was picked and the cupboards loaded up!
