    Parise is also replacing Komarov which is a big upgrade. Parise isn't what he used to be but he still a much better player than Leo.

    I didn't realize Varlamov is hurt. Schneider is going to be the backup until Varlamov is ready to go. So the start of the season will be the Sorokin show.

    It’s Cup or bust, but this team has everything you need on paper to get it done: great coaching, great goaltending, strong veteran presence, young guys who should continue to get better, and a superstar to anchor it all.

    It’s nice having your own stadium, this franchise has done a great job rewarding their loyal fan base.

    I am more thrilled with Pulock signing an 8 year 50 million deal last night. Isles got great value. This shows players are taking less to stay here. This organization is respected again. Now we need to Cup this year.

    Not impressive at all... Sorokin should have saved at least a couple of those goals

    Unimpressive from the goalie on out.

    Pretty much what I expected. Carolina is built to be a great regular season team and win the division.

    Bad game last night so hopefully they rebound tomorrow at Florida. The logo is on the ice at UBS arena.

    shit didn't even realize the season started. best thing though as this team needs to fly under the radar as long as possible.

    A full 82 game season is going to expose this team for not having elite skilled playmakers on offense.

    I know they made the playoffs the last couple of seasons, but they made the playoffs because of unique circumstances that went their way.

    This team as currently constructed with older players is going to struggle.

    Sorokin looks like he's made several steps back

    The islanders are officially the oldest team in the league, avg 29.5 years of age.

    New season, same inability to convert on scoring chances even bad teams could score on.
