Plenty of time for him to bounce back...

... after all, there are still 10 yrs of contract left.

Poor Isle's fans... you have the cheapest team in the league. Nobody spends less on players than you and of that league leading miserly payroll fully 20% is accounted for by DiPietro and Yashin's buyout....

With Yashin being gone all the time (and Dipietro being gone almost all the time) it is like playing a perpetual penalty kill (1/5 missing right?). You should be thrilled when the poor kids who are thrown out on the ice manage to get a few wins rolling.

Nice shot by Johnson though...

Well it's a good thing they have a solid veteren backup in Nabokov.

UNBELIEVEABLE! WOW

If I were Charles Wang and Garth Snow I would seriously consider hiring a hitman to take care of this clown.

I am furious at him as a non-Islander fan. I feel soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo badly for the actual Islander fans (if there are any).

On September 12, 2006, DiPietro signed a 15-year, $67.5 million contract with the New York Islanders

Let us take a look at the first 5 years of Dipietro's 15-year contract and the games missed (or scratched but seriously we all know he wasn't "scratched")

2006-2007 - 62 GP (32 Wins) 20 GAMES MISSED
2007-2008 - 63 GP (26 Wins) 19 GAMES MISSED
2008-2009 - 5 GP (1 Win) 77 GAMES MISSED
2009-2010 - 8 GP (2 Wins) 74 GAMES MISSED
2010-2011 - 21 GP (7 Wins) 30 GAMES MISSED (and Counting)

TOTAL GAMES PLAYED - 159 Games Played of 410 Possible Games
TOTAL GAMES MISSED - 251 Games Missed
% OF POSSIBLE GAMES PLAYED - 38.7 %

These numbers will only get worse as he is now on the shelve (*surprised face) for the next 6 weeks

Only 11 more years of this clown eating popcorn from the cushy pressbox. Dipietro will become a Free Agent following the 2021-22 season. Good luck Islanders.

The Islanders may not have to worry about the contract. The way it is going for DiPietro, he may get hit by a bus next.

LMAO!!! Oooooooh...that's gotta sting just a little.

Damn, that was funny.
