And being an Islander fan I have ...Awsome website! And being an Islander fan I have to say that you did a great job showing respect for the all time greats of the team. However....In My Humble Opinion, when talking about the Islanders goaltenders, I think that one cannot leave out Roland 'Rollie the goalie' Melanson.<BR/><BR/>There were many seasons that 'Rollie' shined in the regular season while sharing duties with Bill Smith. And...many times where his play was clutch in getting them to the playoffs sometimes when Billy was on a downswing.<BR/><BR/>In fact when I was a young man watching all the Islander legends from the '70's & '80's, I remember cheering for 'Rollie the goalie' as much as any other of my heroes.<BR/><BR/>Keep up the good work and please consider adding Mr. Melanson to your site. Thank you.<BR/><BR/>G.S. from Ohio.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
