LOLLOLLOLLOLLOLLLLL

get out of the NHL. what a joke man.

he had talent, but dude it's time.

if he was gonna get hit by a puck and get injured. you shouldn't be in this league.

i'm sorry for him, tough breaks in his entire career, but i'm more tired of the headlines: DiPietro injured!

Dave Brown hit me a lot harder than that when he broke my nose in 1976. I didn't miss a shift.

Panty Waste

I think if Johnson would've clubbed Rick with his right, he probably would have died.

How many years does he have left on his huge contract? One punch and he's out a month, pretty ridiculous. Did the knee swelling occur as a result of the fight? Poor Islanders...

[jeffgordon]

Are you kidding me! We traded away Roloson. why?

[centrehice]

Commiserations to all Islander Fans that once knew glory for a proud franchise. Double commiserations to Islander fans that were born after the 4 Cups and haven't witnessed anything positive.

You all deserve better.

"Johnson's punch was so hard it broke his knee."
