Let’s Go Crazy
The New York Rangers acquired Eric Staal at the trade deadline, prompting amusing reactions from the Islanders fanbase that sounded somewhat like the following; “What are we doing? How can Garth Snow stand pat like this? Who is this Shane Prince guy?”
Well, Staal was busy cleaning out his locker (That he had for all of three months; was it worth it Rangers fans?) this week, while Prince was scoring two goals in the opening game between the Islanders and Lightning.
Yes, there’s a lot of Monday Morning QB’ing going on here, but for those who were willing to dig a little deeper at the trade deadline, there was a strong undercurrent of “Keep an eye on the young man” B.D. Galoof, Islander writer extraordinaire, in particular laid out a fairly compelling case for Prince as a solid pickup, and here we are months later as Prince continues to prove his worth for this Islanders team.
