Hi, just doing some research for my Dansko site. Amazing the amount of information on the web. Wasn’t exactly what I was looking for, but very nice site. Have a good day.

Dansko Sela Crinkle Patent – This sandal is a great choice because it can be worn in many different environments such as for day time wear, having lunch with friends, and for evening wear. It has a wide wooden heel and sole giving it a more of a wedge look but the leather design over the foot keeps it looking sporty and modern.

I don’t know if you heard Scott Gordons press conference because he didn’t give KO a pass on that pass across he shouldve slammed home…He called him out saying that shouldve been a goal…I still think you are too critical of him because on that break away, as he was about to shoot, the dman behind him lifted his stick…Give the kid credit for creating the breakaway while short handed…I think you are putting to much stock in Chris Bottas opinions… I’m not even allowed to post over there because I disagreed with him and called him out on some of his posts…I agree KO has to learn to be a better finisher and maybe throw the body around more but other than that hes my favorite player…I think the majority of Isles fans love KO, you’re in the minority here so I guess we can agree to disagree….
On the JT situation, theyre over there trashing a friggen teenager!!!!!I cant even read those posts anymore coz they just piss me off and Im unable to express it so I think I’m done reading those flamers…

Rob I hope you see the double standard I am talking about with Tavares and Okposo. Okposo is the one tonight that missed a wide open net that would have made the score 4-1 early in the third and I doubt Ottawa would have come back but because they were able to kill that 5 on 3 it gave them a lift and they came back. Okposo also missed another either breakaway or in this case a semi breakaway tonight and yet not a peep from Botta’s crew but they bash Tavares and everyone else. I’m not bashing Okposo but I’m a little sick and tired of this double standard and it seems no matter what Okposo does he gets a plus after every game on that blog (maybe because he is Botta’s favorite player?) he certainly doesn’t deserve a plus for this game. On another note not one player on the Isles challenged Carkner for what he did to Jackman the last time they played Ottawa I really can’t blame Martin because he wasn’t in Ottawa for that sucker punch but this just illustrates how soft this team is.

Isle27, I hope KO turns out as a better player and leader than Drury….He has 1 good game and fights but KO has better skill than Drury…Drury seems to have a few special goals in his life so hes overrated, imho…I agree with you tho, a capt should stand up for himself and his teammates…KO did smile last night after they won and he contributed with some great play and a goal…He also got really mad about something….Hopefully some time we will see him throw some fists and show some more heart instead of just getting angry…If he starts scoring more 30-40 goals like he should, I don’t care if he ever fights tho…

On another note, did you read the Tavares bashing on Pointblank???Its ridiculous!!!!It wasn’t that long ago when KO was struggling, getting knocked off the puck easily and just wasn’t effective…He balked up and learned that he needs to play like every shift is his last and hes is not easily knocked off the puck….He took a good half season of games before he finally clicked…

JT has shown what he can bring…For a good good stretch he wasn’t even getting chances, he was invisible just like KO was at one point…Lately hes struggling to find the back of the net but how many posts has he hit???How many times has he created chances but just missed the net by a fraction or just got robbed by a goalie????I hope to God most of the posters who PB allows to post are a small % of internet flamers…I also hope JT doesn’t read that crap…We don’t deserve him to play here long term if thats what our fans are gonna act like…These kids will bail out of this hell hole as soon as possible and we have no right to complain…I cant stand these guys who are so irrational

Well Rob it looks like we might have reached some common ground here. I don’t know if you saw the Ranger/Pens game last night, the game that Chris Drury played last night (I know he hasn’t played good this season just last night’s game) is the type of game I want my captain to play. He set up a goal with a great pass, blocked shots AND dropped the gloves and mixed it up. I think if I was the Isles coach I would show Okposo that tape and tell him this is the way a captain leads his team in a game.

RobC/KO21 — Sat, 13 Feb 2010 00:52:27 +0000

Isle27, I get your point on Sutton and I also think KO should play with more of an edge and hit, finish more checks…Thats a fact and Im sure the coach is working to make KO more effective…Hes still YOUNG…Regarding JT…I would never bash him…He has made MANY feeble passes resulting in turn overs but I understand hes 19 and will learn by his mistakes…KO has made mistakes but hes on his way to becoming a great player…Hes got the tools and work ethic..I think you’re too critical of KO as others are too critical of JT…KO isn’t always smiling…I dont see none of that but again I dont understand why he isnt throwing his body around as much as he should but it seems like the whole team is playng soft…When the hit they craete space and scoring chances but they dont do it consistently yet…

Overused excuse Rob “he’s needed on the ice and not in the penalty box” announcers seem to use that excuse only when it pertains to someone on their team who doesn’t drop the gloves. I’ve seen many players over the years who delivered a cheap shot drop their gloves when challenged it’s the right thing to do and let’s not confuse Sutton with Bobby Orr. Martins job is to step in for a player like Tavares not a guy like Sutton who should be able to take care of himself. Okposo is a -11. He is a big part of the pp AND pk which have been awful this season. I’ve seen just about every player on the team criticized for the lousy special teams this season except him. I’ll give you an example of the free ride he gets in the last game they played against Tampa Isles on the PP Okposo takes a dumb penalty in the offensive zone and Tampa ends up scoring on their part of the PP. No one called him out for this but had that been someone else I guarantee they would have been called out I just don’t go for the double standard when it comes to him. Tavares gets hammered by the fans and he’s younger and less experienced than Okposo so don’t use that as an excuse. I’d like to see him smile less out there and play with more of an edge to his game then maybe we can talk about him being a captain one day.

Isles27, as Jaffee says, hes is needed on the ice and not in the penalty box…Thats what enforcers are for…I agree Snow is to blame and should be embarrassed…Thats why Martin stepped in, its his job

By: RobC/KO21

RobC/KO21 — Fri, 12 Feb 2010 00:35:43 +0000

BD, I admit I’m concerned about his lack of finish but hes definatly a play maker and will be setting JT up for a large % of his future goals, IMHO…The finishing tough isn’t there now but thiesleague isnt easy…The NHL goalies are great and they wear huge pads…Thats why there is only a small % of consistent finishers in the league and thats why they get the HUGE contracts…KO doesn’t have a contract of a finisher as Isle27 claims

RobC/KO21 — Fri, 12 Feb 2010 00:30:26 +0000

Okposo is “practically” in his sophmore season because he only played 9 games in 2008…How can you say he gets paid to be a goal scorer yet???He isnt paid like a star yet but we see the star in him…The other stars who you say fight, they maybe fight once in a year if that…When Crysby fought last year it was a huge story and he hasn’t faught since if M wrong then let me know because it cant be many more…Im sure KO will get into some scruffs in his career…Did Crysby get into a fist fight in his 1st 2 seasons???I doubt it because like I said when he did it was a big deal…

Kyle Okposo is this fans favorite player and to say hes paid as a goal scorer in rediculous…Hes not getting paid like a finisher, yet…Hes on a preliminary contract and its up to him to become the scorer and then he will get paid as such..I dont always agree with Botta but the kids a leader by the way he plays the game and not by the way he can throw fists so I think he is capt material…I dont give a darn if he fights…Hes the most noticable player on the ice almost every game, for the Isles and the opposition, because of how he plays the game and how he never gives up on a play….Like I said, hes only in his 2nd full season and I think he will become a great play maker and score 30 goals and allot more assists than goals…Give the kid a break, man…Its allot easier to watch the kids and criticize….

Snow should be embarrassed how soft this team is. They went a month and a half without a fighting major. I also lost some respect for Sutton tonight he should have dropped the gloves with Rupp he had given a cheap shot in the previous game with these guys and he should have answered for it tonight. Maybe I’m too old school but that’s what I think.

Wow. I should have given tickets away at #50. ;)

Which will be happening after the Olympic break, actually. Stay tuned for giveaways in comments sections.

Okposo might not be raining the goals, but his rounded out play has been noticed by many. Just might need one more year to be the player we hoped he would be.

I always like when a top player is willing to use his fists...especially in lieu of missing an enforcer.

Excuse me for criticizing the anointed one Rob. So the PP has been awful he is a big part of the PP but he gets no blame? The Isles can't put the puck in the net and it seems like all the fan base wants to do is hammer the fourth line players. Guess what, Okposo gets paid to put the puck in the net, he's not, which makes him part of the problem. As far as dropping the gloves once in a while like I stated above if those ELITE players I mentioned could do it AND ITS NOT THEIR GAME then Okposo who is not an elite player could do it. In fact maybe if he did drop the gloves once in awhile maybe he would have made Team USA since that is the type of player Burke likes. Next time the Isles play the Leafs if anyone drops the gloves with Phaneuf it should be OKPOSO Rob, he's not too good to drop the gloves, he's not Bossy, he's a 12 GOAL SCORER. Time for Kyle to grow a pair.

Oh, and as per Computer Associates internal investigators…

Special Litigation Committee’s Report:

“Fraud pervaded the entire CA organization at every level, and was imbedded in CA’s culture, as instilled by Mr. Wang almost from the company’s inception.”

They also described CA under Wang as a “One-headed dragon” and said “No significant decisions were made without his participation and approval.”

Yes, boys and girls, past is prologue.

Wang be honest with the fans, you say?

Hmm… like the “honesty” he displayed with the shareholders of Computer Associates?

That was a fun read….lol.
BDG…how dare you call out Botta?! lol…
I called him out on his site on this recent development and he deleted my comments each time. CB acts so childish at times.
CB=narrow minded
BDG-great question-where are the solutions?
Here’s a couple…maybe KM should focus on this project and not the back door deals shes getting if the LHP fails. And to Wang-just be honest to the fanbase.
Go Isles!!!

Give it up already…Ur looking for a reason to bash the best all around player we got???The guy who out works everyone on the ice almost every single night???I will tell you, its not his game and when Nielson got hit it was KO who had a fit and tried to fight but he couldn’t get to the guy

By: RobC/KO21

RobC/KO21 — Wed, 10 Feb 2010 21:11:10 +0000

First of all what happened to Murrays policy that she cant meet with the developers since shes like a judge in a court case and it would be a conflict of interest???I feel like we have dirty rotten lier’s and down right criminals running our govt…I feel bad for Long Island

Wang looked like a weasil in his interview and I feel bad for the Isles fans and people like Nick from Lettherebelighthouse who dedictated his precious time to Wangs fantasy…He had us all dreaming of something special and he is backing out….

REgarding, Botta, I love 99% of his work but hes definatly in need of some humble pie…He banned me from posting on his blog because I criticized him on my Twitter page for banning me for disagreed with him on his site….

the losing skid has stopped but one thing I’d like to know if someone can total up, is the amount of times JT has hit the post or crossbar over the last 20 games. The poor kid has hit the post in my estimation about every second game during his slide. If half of those go in he’s over 20 goals and the pressure is off.

I like that Moulson has been on his line the last couple of games, but would like to see KO back on that line. If no one is scoring, why continue to try and spread out the best scorers on different lines? Put them back together and see if you can spark them

One very very good thing though, is that JT is looking more and more assertive as a player. He’s delivering hits now, and avoiding hits where early in the year he was tentative and knocked around constantly. He’s also carrying the puck more and making plays with it, where before he’d look to immediately dump it off to someone else. I like what I see and I think next year is a big year for him. If he manages to score a couple in the next few games it could spark another streak and he could finish the season with 25 goals. I just wish he could catch a break and have it hit the post and go in!

All good. I am glad we can discuss it openly. I’ll relent, and just ask people read everything with some scrutiny as well as an open mind, and not follow any writer wholesale…him, me or anyone. And let us move on to something more cheery…like the losing skid stopped.

The LHP has a lot more trials and tribulations. This season is not yet lost, nor is a playoff spot in our sight at the moment. But we have a two week break and hopefully this team heals. But of course, before they can do that…they have a back to back series of tilts.
