We all knew that the Red Wings were due to be brought back down to earth after ripping off five wins in a row. That came to fruition this week, and BOY was it ugly!
Detroit was coming off of two full days of rest, so perhaps that plays into this whole thing. They dropped both games on a back-to-back in Buffalo and New York. The Islanders game was particularly awful because of, well, /gestures at everything /… If we have any positives from those games, it’s that Emmitt Finnie is one hell o...

Following the Philadelphia Flyers’ 4-3 shootout win over the New York Islanders at Xfinity Mobile Arena Saturday afternoon, forward Trevor Zegras rightfully stood squarely in the spotlight after logging a pair of goals, an assist, and a shootout tally.
But goaltender Sam Ersson deserved some recognition as well, and Zegras wasted no time giving his goalie his flowers after the game.
“I mean, he made a couple crazy one-timer saves in overtime, and then obviously he finished it off in ...

The Islanders missed a few opportunities to extend a four-game win streak Saturday afternoon in Philadelphia, but they at least came away with a point and Marshall Warren got an NHL debut to remember.

The Philadelphia Flyers are hosting the New York Islanders…at 12:30 p.m.??? Instead of finishing up a nice weekend brunch or going for an afternoon walk, or even being able to just think about nothing at all, the Flyers are playing a game way earlier than ever expected. A professional hockey game just an hour away from being in the morning.

The Islanders are in Philadelphia for an early start (12:30 EDT) in an early-season Metro battle with the Flyers. One point separates them in the opening month, with both teams probably exceeding (Isles 4-3, Flyers 3-3-1) very modest initial expectations. But the big hook today is the expected NHL debut of hometowner Marshall Warren. First […]

After getting beaten on the road by a bottom-of-the-barrel Buffalo Sabres squad on Wednesday, the Detroit Red Wings (5-3-0) looked unenthusiastic and, honestly, played their worst game of the season in a 7-2 loss against the Patrick Roy-coached New York Islanders (4-3-0) Thursday night at UBS Arena in Belmont, New York.
Similar to their start in Buffalo, the Wings struggled to get shots on goal against goaltender David Rittich and found themselves down 2-0 entering the first intermission ...
