08:42 AM ET 10.26 | Charles Wang made the most of his time in the spotlight Thursday, and that included a bold prediction. No one knows when the NHL will start this season, but [Wang] feels good about where his team will finish if it does. "Yes, we're going to make the playoffs," Wang said on SiriusXM radio Thursday afternoon. "We should have even done it last year, but we didn't. And we're disappointed. We're going to make the playoffs and we're going to have a great run." Still basking in the glow of Wednesday's announcement that the Islanders will move to Brooklyn in 2015, Wang said his team will be competitive not just on the ice but for some of the marquee free agents who have declined to join the Islanders in the past.

Have we officially hit rock bottom here at the NHL T&R? Three out of five threads are related to the Islanders.

Yes, but Wang isn't happy about that so things will change and free agents will come to Brooklyn and the Isles will go deep into the playoffs. Book it, Dano.

...and one of them is about the Islanders making the playoffs, and a long run in them. So, yes, we most definitely have. I feel resigned to take it outside and put it down. "No ma, it's my sports communtiy site, I'll do it."

There was a Baseball guy named Dick Pole once...it's true. However after a career in baseball I think he tired of the name and changed it and to get less abuse. However, he soon found out that he actually is a Dick Pole because changing his name to Bettman was worse.
