The New York Islanders have a logjam in the crease this year and in usual Islanders fashion, they are screwing things up again. They are stuck with porcelain doll's,
Rick Dipietro, albatross of a contact so they feel the need to play him. Then they have 36 year old
Evgeni Nabokov, who has a no trade clause. Lastly, they have
Al Montoya, who has been the best goalies for the Islanders since he joined them late last season. Yet the Islanders are determined to play them equally. Hopefully the Islanders will do the right thing. That would be get Nabokov to waive his no trade clause then ship him out and then put Dipietro on the bench. But these are the Islanders and the ghost of Milbury is still meddling.

Ron Francis played in the NHL for 23 seasons. His 1788 career points are good for 4th all-time and his 1249 assists place him 2nd all-time. While Francis is a long way off from reaching the top in career points or assists, the 2004-05 lock-out cost him a chance at being the
career leader in games played. Francis played 1731 games, just 36 short of Gordie Howe's 1767.
