Bloopers Poll featuring Vesa Toskala

Despite a very short tenure with the New York Islanders, most fans most likely remember Rob Davison. While he certainly wasn't the most memorable through his overall play, he certainly ingrained himself into Isles folklore by scoring a goal from over 190 feet away against Vesa Toskala:

Note: This was Davison's only goal as an Islander and one of three in his NHL career


As you can imagine, Toskala got plenty of play in ESPN's "Not Top 10" list for that one. Now, however, Vesa has another blooper that certainly rivals the Davison Debacle. Check out this play from last night's Sabres-Leafs game:

Vote: Will Hillen Make the Big Club?

One of the most interesting topics on Saturday's episode of HNLI was Jack Hillen's place in the Isles' organization next year. Hillen, who the Islanders signed as an undrafted free agent out of the NCAA last year, has impressed Isles scouts, management, and fans alike between his play in college and the two games he played in New York last year. Blogger Mike Schuerlein, a guest of the roundtable on Saturday's HNLI, proved how impressed he was by declaring that Jack Hillen would make the team out of training camp. While this is seemingly a bold statement to some, Schuerlein cited Greg Logan of Newsday for more praise of Hillen.

Remember that there has been no official announcement from the team about the jersey and that this could very well be a prototype. Knowing that, check out the photo below and let your opinion be heard in the first HNLI poll.
