Damien Cox is a doofus. Going to the hairless Toronto Star columnist for any insights into the Islanders is like going to Cracker Barrel looking for a light, healthy snack. Not only will you not find what you’re looking for, but your stomach will feel like exploding.
Cox’s latest offering was the kind of article we’ve seen many times before: Toronto-based writer openly salivates over the idea of bringing John Tavares to the Maple Leafs. And it’s a first ballot Hall of Famer in a loaded category, too, full of insults and fear mongering and every Islanders narrative in the book.
