The Islanders and Rangers have their first meeting of the season in Manhattan tonight, with both teams playing the second half of a back-to-back. In theory the Isles have the advantage, since they played at home (but poorly) last night, while the Rangers are coming back from Detroit, where they beat the Red Wings handily. […]

Woof. The Islanders were thoroughly outplayed by a team that was on the back end of a traveling back-to-back, looking like a rusty, uninspired squad. It wasn’t laziness or lack of trying, rather it just looked like no one was in sync, no one could make or catch a pass — save for a couple […]

Dear readers, the Metropolitan Division Snapshot is back. Over the years, John has run these on a weekly basis, but I am spreading them out a little bit (and combining this one with a short October review). From this post, the Division Snapshot should come out every two weekends, while the traditional “Month in Review” […]

The Islanders are back in action for a hyperlocal back-to-back, with the Wild at home tonight followed by a visit to the Rangers on Saturday night to tee up a long and dreaded Western trip. The Wild are coming in on a back-to-back after losing in Raleigh last night, but we know quite well that […]

New York Islanders forward Jean-Gabriel Pageau has been a popular name in the rumor mill for quite some time. Yet, now that he is a pending unrestricted free agent (UFA), the Islanders very well could trade him if they end up not being in the playoff race once we get closer to the deadline. Due to this, let's look at three teams that could target Pageau if he is made available by the Islanders this season. Vancouver Canucks The Canucks could use some help at the center positi...

The Islanders had an extra day (and day off) to stew over missed opportunities in the shootout loss to the Bruins, and also for Matthew Schaefer to go on TNT and haze Henrik Lundqvist for being a Ranger. Speaking of which, tomorrow’s home game vs. the Wild is the start of a back-to-back that ends […]

Now you see him, now you don’t? The Bruins won their fourth game in a row last night, beating the Islanders 4-3 in a shootout. It was a pretty even, back-and-forth game: 1-0, 1-1, 2-1, 2-2, etc. It was Marat Khusnutdinov who emerged as the hero for the Bruins, first tying the game with under […]

The New York Islanders haven't taken themselves out of the playoff race early, but it is also very early in the season. The team is 6-5-1 and hasn't looked too bad. This isn't a year many expected the Islanders to do much, but those days are on their way with Matthew Schaefer leading the charge. For now, decisions are going to have to be made about the roster this season. Some of the veterans won't be around to see the success that is to come for the Islanders, especially a couple who are in t...

Mike and Dan recap a busy week in which the Islanders stayed afloat thanks in large part to record-breaking super rookie Matthew Schaefer. The week started very poorly, with another blown lead followed by another blowout to a familiar bully. But what looked like a new bottom gave way to an unexpected rebound. A comeback […]

The Islanders capped an impressive third period with a stunning reversal of fortune in a 29-second span to steal back a 3-2 win over the visiting Columbus Blue Jackets on Sunday. The Blue Jackets were playing back-to-back, after withstanding a similar third-period surge at home the night before. With a pretty entertaining and physical game […]

On October 30th in 1997, New York Rangers forward Wayne Gretzky skated in a game against cross-river rival New York Islanders at Nassau Coliseum with his name mispelled "Gretkzy" on the back of his jersey. Far from an isolated incident in the world of sport with typos and misspellings abound, rarely does it involve the sports greatest player of all time skating for one of the league's highest

Our friend John Muir is back to talk about three hockey cards of inaugural Islanders he came across in an unlikely location.

The Islanders’ fruitless four-game road trip continues in Washington after an eminently forgettable loss to the Hurricanes last night in Raleigh. They enter the evening last in the Eastern Conference — by points percentage as well as raw points now after last night’s regulation loss — and for many Isles fans, that’s quite according to […]
