Latest news and updates about the Islanders
Behind 44 saves from Jeremy Swayman and the first multi-goal games of Alex Steeves’s career, the Bruins beat the Islanders, 3-1, on Long Island Wednesday night. The win gives the Bruins a season-series sweep over the Islanders. While Steeves deserves plaudits for his two goals (one of which was shorthanded), Swayman was the story in […]

The Islanders fell to the Boston Bruins for the second time this month and the third time this season, an odd sweep (two regulation losses, one shootout) at the hands of a team that has been up and down and missing its top defenseman. It was an odd game. The Islanders outshot Boston 45-14 (!), […]

Welcome to Thanksgiving Eve, folks! I hope you’ve hung your stockings by the chimney with care, in hopes that they’ll soon be filled with gravy, turkey, mashed potatoes, etc. I might be mixing up my holidays here, but it’s the Internet, there’s no truth anymore. Now that we’ve gotten the nihilism out of the way, […]

Jusso Parssinen's days in New York could be numbered as he's being held out for “roster management.”

The Islanders bounced back from a weaker home return performance against the Blues to pull out a shootout win in the double-shutout meeting with the Kraken, but hanging in the background is injury news to two significant players. Alex Romanov was not having a good season thus far, but the 5-6-month prognosis removes any chance […]

On November 24th in 2008, Montreal Canadiens blueliner Ryan O'Byrne played the puck into his own net during a delayed penalty, tying up the game for the New York Islanders with five minutes remaining in the third period. O'Byrne's own goal was credited to Islanders captain Bill Guerin, who subsequently sealed the 4-3 win with his third round shootout score as the Habs faithful taunted a dejected

Mike and Dan recap a wild, emotional week in which the Islanders cap off an epic road trip in style before struggling to find their game again at home. The gauntlet that seemed like it could sink their season instead saw the Islanders surge into a playoff berth with a tense win in Dallas and […]

If a game takes place on Long Island with no goal and almost no penalties, does it make a sound? The Islanders and Kraken faced off to a stalemate that went all the way to extra-extra time in the shootout before the Isles prevailed for the extra point. It goes down as a 1-0 win […]

When did Mikko Rantanen become such a goon? Ugly week for the well-paid Finn, who incurred the wrath of Islanders coach Patrick Roy after he crashed into Alex Romanov with under a minute left in DAL-NYI earlier this week. Roy’s passion was so infectious. I was fortunate enough to be watching live, and you have…

The Islanders came home from their rousing 6-1 road trip to start a seven-game homestand but could not keep their groove going in a 2-1 loss to the St. Louis Blues. It wasn’t an awful game, just a frustrating one against an opponent that has really struggled but has been inching its way back to […]

For those who went into this Islanders transitional season with low or at least cautiously tempered expectations, the last eight games have been startling, confusing and pretty damn fun. I say eight games, because the 6-1 road trip, which started with some “not great but pulled it off” wins and steamrolled into some “that was […]

The Islanders have turned their traditional season-ending western road trip into…something else entirely. Thoroughly dispatching the Red Wings in Detroit, the Isles finished the seven-game stretch with a 6-1 record that has launched them up the standings. At the quarter pole, they’re suddenly in a non-wild card playoff position and just a couple points off […]

Hey all, good to be back writing recaps! I spent the early part of the season in Tokyo, so the disastrous 0-3 start to the season happened in the early morning for me. It’s a weird experience to get notifications on Islanders goals while eating breakfast. But like I said, good to be back, and […]

If you didn’t stay up late last night, you missed quite the stirring against-script conclusion. Shorthanded in OT, having blown a 2-0 lead and then scored a late 6-on-5 goal just to make it to extra time, the Isles pulled off another one on the back of Ilya Sorokin and a tremendous individual play by […]

Joined again by their friend Sab, Mike and Dan remember Josef Vašíček, the big, versatile, likeable center who left us far too early in the Lokomotiv airplane disaster.

The Islanders pulled off multiple stunning escapes to take both points in Las Vegas, capped by J-G Pageau’s dramatic shorthanded solo effort to win the game in overtime, 4-3.

The Islanders’ seven-game road trip really gets down to business tonight with the opening of a back-to-back at Vegas and then Utah. Sorry for the mid-week gap in posts — I had something planned about the crater in the fourth line but an ill-timed broadband outage scrapped that. Dan and Mike touched on it in […]

Last Devils Game On Monday night, the Devils lost to the New York Islanders, 3-2. The loss wrapped up a 3 game home stand where on the positive side, they grabbed 5 out of a possible 6 points. Before the home stand, I had commented that it was important to get a few wins/points before […]

The Islanders at the as-yet-undefeated-at-home Devils right where they wanted them: Having killed off a fourth Devils power play late in a tied game, the Isles finally got a power play of their own, and after a middling start, Kyle Palmieri cashed in for the would-be winner. But after missing several empty net tries and […]
