While Big Z heads for Ottawa, Trevor Gillies is working hard and improving his game for the coming season.
So here is the really SHORT video from the draft party. Listen hard, the room was loud as hell that night. But Trevor and his Mohawk were happy to be there.

Isles Arena Details Still Foreign to the Dems
The investigative reporting of SNY's Point Blank TV has another exclusive and detailed conversation with another Nassau County Democrat who voted NO on Ed Mangano's $400 Million Referendum
The more I hear from the politicians, the more I worry. Have a listen. You can comment on IPB.

No Fireworks on the 4th for the Isles
Wake up everyone. The holiday is over. Back to work. While the Macy's Independence Day Fireworks show was pretty impressive (with the exception of that stupid sparkler at the right corner that announced the show was LIVE) the NY Islanders July 4th was quiet.
Brief entry at Hockeybuzz.com. Hoping for more info later today.
Matt Martin loves to antagonize on the ice, and sometimes off it too as I caught him yapping with Islander prospect Casey Cizikas at prospect camp last summer. I asked him if they had ever played together and that's why they were jawing each other. Nope, it was just fun.
Matt loves having fun.

FA Day & Lobster Tortellini
Okay, I promised I would post this. Hockey first....
The Islanders were very patient today and didn't make any foolish moves just to make moves. They did sign Marty Reasoner to a two year deal at a very reasonable price. Reasoner is a veteran who, according to @BrooksDSimpson has more skill than Konopka and a more offensive upside. He'll also be able to win some faceoffs and hopefully not be so quick to be sent to the box.
Now, during the #LITweetUp on Thursday in Hauppauge I happened to mention my Lobster Tortellini on my way out the door. I should never throw out anything with the word "lobster" and then try to leave.
So here is the full recipe for my decadent little pasta dish, with love from the Queen of the Shortcuts.
You'll need:
1 pkg frozen cheese tortellini (tricolor or not)Meat from one 1 1/4 boiled lobster or 1 cup of lobster meat if you maybe went out and ordered four twin lobsters and couldn't finish them. I bought one 2 lb lobster and made two dishes from it.
1 Jar Bertolli (or your favorite brand) Garlic Alfredo Sauce (yes, it's in a jar. I'm not making it from scratch. It's not worth it.)
2 thin slices of prosciutto or tavern ham diced.
1/4 cup frozen peas
1 tablespoon fresh (or dried) tarragon (don't use as much if it's dried)
1/4 cup milk
Breadcrumbs for garnish
When water for pasta is boiling, throw tortellini in.
In medium saucepan, empty jar of sauce and add 1/4 cup milk into jar to get the remaining sauce out of it. (This stuff is thick like wallpaper paste)
Add the rinsed frozen peas, the prosciutto or ham, the lobster and the tarragon. Stir well. cook on low heat stirring religiously. As all these items are basically cooked already, they just need to be heated through and have the flavors meld.
It will need pepper. Trust me.
Don't overcook the tortellini, but when it's done drain but do not rinse. Place in shallow dish and then cover with lobster sauce. Stir thoroughly to coat.
Add breadcrumbs to the sides as garnish and if you have parsley, put a small floret in the center. If you don't need presentation on this, then just add the tortellini to the pot with the Alfredo sauce and eat it straight out of there with some warm Italian bread.
bite anyone who comes near you looking to share because it's just that freakin' good.

Is There Anything Left in that jar of Free Agent Sprinkles
UGH! For years I would cringe every time Garth Snow used that term about "sprinkling in free agents." Well, today we get to see if he has any sprinkles left. Some went down the drain a recently, so not sure what's sitting at the bottom of the jar. But I suppose we'll find out.
Free Agency Frenzy used to make me sick as a fan. I'd be worrying if my favorite players would be wearing some other sweater come October and I'd have to immediately hate them. But as a blogger, or "Fan Advocate" as I like to call myself (and a moniker that @LovelyLu bought the domain rights to while we were sitting at the LITweetUp last night in Hauppauge), I will be glued to the internet and @TSNBobMcKenzie like the rest of the Hockey world waiting, waiting, waiting for that BIG signing.
Although I'm not sure how much bigger a signing there could be since the Buffalo deal with Erhoff. I like the way Bruce Arthur put it, today is "Can wait to be overpaid #whateverynhlfreeagentisthinking" Love it.
Okay, so let's see what happens today.
Is it too early to start planning for a trip to Boston for the first Preseason game? How about the one in Bridgeport on October 1st? Too soon?
