Damn,Im an Islanders fan,so therefore dont wish to discuss Hockey
The Islanders are a terrible franchise. They can't do anything right. The Dipeitro (sp) contract is going to be an albatros, and what they did at the draft this year would be laughable if it wasn't so sad. Trading a top 5 pick, which Toronto used to draft stud defenseman Luc Schenn, then trading the #7 pick to Nashville for the #9 pick, and drafting Josh Bailey!?! As a Canucks fans I was overjoyed that they didn't take Hodgson (who is destroying the OHL), but I felt so sorry for Islanders fans at that point.
Having watched a number of Islanders-games this season, I actually think Bailey is gonna be good. Maybe still a bad deal by the management, but if Bailey pans out like he looks like he will, then worse decisions must surely have been made. Especially as they got a couple of extra picks out of it too.

Also, considering how bad, they are supposed to be, they do pretty good at the moment.
[So is Vancouver!]

Anyway, way off-topic for a discussion on the treatment of the blacks in the UK...
