The Deke Squad – Issue No. 3: Thomas Vanek, Post-Season Play, & Islander Goaltending
By Rich Dias-Rodrigues

Welcome to the Deke Squad – Issue #3
Rich Dias-Rodrigues and Chris Triantafilis take a week’s worth of social media conversation, as well as in-house blathering, and bring it altogether for you, the reader.
Be sure to leave a comment below, as the point of it all is to organize a place for hockey fans, especially Islander ones, to come and have an intelligent discussion.
How it works: One question. One screen. One poll. Click ‘Next’.
Three in total.
Enjoy.
