Islanders Training Camp News: Barzal health watch
The Islanders open training camp — which are now shorter than past camps per the new CBA — with news that Mathew Barzal will not skate for all of it “due to aggravation of a prior injury that has caused some inflammation.” So we are starting the season with Barzal out, and on Health Watch. […]
Islanders News: Bo knows captains
The Islanders prospect camp’s second scrimmage agains their Devils counterparts ended in a shootout loss. Cole Eiserman netted another off a feed from Victor Eklund again. Now the real (OK, still pretend, but a little more real) fun begins. Islanders News Elsewhere
Islanders News: Baby scrimmage
The Islanders prospects got to hit the ice for some competition against their youthful Devils counterparts, coming away with an overtime win. The return leg is on Tuesday. Cole Eiserman (tying goal and OT winner), Daniil Prokhorov (also two goals) and Victor Eklund accounted for the Baby Isles’ five goals, as well they should as […]
Islanders News: Rookie camp begins
We’ve got action! Painted ice! Players in official practice uniforms — many of whom with names you know! With the Islanders’ rookie camp officially underway, the season really is just around the corner. It’s been a long wait. Islanders News The official site spoke with Eiserman, 2026 draftee Vladimir Dravecky of Slovakia (and longtime friend […]
Islanders News: The kids are here
Rookie camp is here! The Islanders’ top prospects, ECHL fodder and camp filler will get things started ahead of a couple of scrimmages against their New Jersey counterparts on Sept. 13 and 15. Tickets are still available for that scrimmage at Northwell on the 15th. Elsewhere
Islanders News: Eyes on Eklund, Schaefer
The NHL’s North America media tour has begun (the Europe one was late last month), so expect a trickle of quotes and headlines to come as teams get ready for training camps beginning in one week. Islanders News Elsewhere
Islanders News: Eyes on Eiserman, Gold
Not a lot of “news” fodder coming out of a long holiday weekend in the U.S., but Labor Day is behind us and training camp is now on the horizon. Islanders News Elsewhere
Islanders News: Labor Day pause
No real news as the U.S. celebrates a three-day Labor Day weekend, but here are a few recent links to pause and get a fresh thread up amid our preseason questions series. Islanders News Elsewhere
Islanders 2026-27 Questions: Can Palmieri, Romanov, Varlamov return to form?
In 2004, shortly after pulling off the first undefeated season that top-tier English soccer had seen in over a century, the London club Arsenal began an austerity period where they put a lid on player acquisition spending while they paid off a new stadium they were building. (Self-funded stadiums? A very foreign concept to American […]
Islanders 2026-27 Questions: Can Ilya Sorokin do it (and sustain it) again?
The New York Islanders did not make the playoffs in 2025-26, but if they had, it would’ve been largely thanks to goaltender Ilya Sorokin. As the Isles held a playoff position for several months — with a huge assist from Calder winner Matthew Schaefer, of course — this flawed team was enjoying a bounce-back, Vezina-contending […]
Islanders News: Barzal’s summer, Malte’s choice
Holy cow it’s September! The North American media tour and shortened training camps are still a few weeks away, but we are getting there. Close enough to revisit some offseason and lingering questions. Of course, all Key Questions fall under the ultimate umbrella questions of 1) Can the Islanders make the playoffs? and 2) Will […]

Islanders News: Promos, hype and angst
It’s August and news may be slow, but that won’t stop us from fretting. We can always fret. Islanders News Eslewhere
Islanders Anxiety Special – Summer Surprise
Mike and Dan reconvene after some family time to talk about the Islanders third jersey design contest and an article at The Athletic. After 80,000 submissions, a fan-designed jersey has been chosen for the Islanders to wear in the 2027-28 season. The contest was the brainchild of the Islanders Lord Business himself, Kelly Cheeseman, who […]
Islanders News: Navy and light(house)
It wasn’t Mat Barzal’s top choice, but he’ll have to wear it anyway because we said so. The Islanders’ attempt to fill the quiet summer month of August with something succeeded with the announcement that the navy blue design with the old lighthouse shoulder patch logo is their third jersey for the season after next. […]
Islanders News: More prospect rankings, less Da Beauty
As things stand now, in mid-August…do you see the 2026-27 Islanders as a playoff team? Personally, I do not. Or rather, they’re a bubble team at best. A couple guys’ return to health might help, but it also might take a while for Kyle Palmieri and Alex Romanov to truly get back up to speed. […]
Islanders News: Summer review and prospect preview
The NHL’s annual summer team-by-team look has now rolled around to the Islanders. I’m not linking the fantasy outlook, but here are their posts about the non-fantasy team and prospects: Elsewhere
Islanders News: Of Fishermen and the Whale
Another good morning (Rick!), afternoon or evening from our quiet summer where the Islanders added Matias Maccelli and subtracted Anders Lee, leaving us to view the return from season-ending injuries of Alex Romanov and Kyle Palmieri as the proverbial “like a new signing.” Islanders & Isles-Adjacent News Elsewhere
Look what you did: Islanders 3rd jersey finalists vote
Well, well, well, if it isn’t the consequences of your own actions. The Islanders have shared the eight finalists for the third-jersey vote, selecting variations that were submitted by fans according to templates that were probably always going to point in this direction. Still, it gives us something to talk about and debate in early […]
Islanders News: Eklund’s bid, Schaefer’s ranking, Alexei’s turtle(neck)
Is just me, or has this summer been slower than last? Am I just getting old, tied up by work, distracted by Neuenschwanders? Or maybe last summer was more exciting because of the turnover in management and the anticipation of the unknown. (Plus, the Dobson Wars…{shudder}…but those have not subsided and are as intense and […]
Islanders News: Gold in, Palmieri and Ledecky look ahead
The “32 in 32” series has begun at the Official NHL site, so it must be August and we must be inching forward in the offseason. With a shorter preseason and training camp — but 84 games now…yay?! — the summer will have an even longer slow window. Still, some Islanders (and ex-Islanders) bits from […]
Islanders News: Malte muscle, Ilya reflections, prospect puffery
The calendar has flipped to August but there’s still not a ton going on in the hockey world. One exception is the World Junior Summer Showcase, which just included a week of showcasing roster candidates from four countries for this winter’s WJC. Islanders News Elsewhere
Islanders Offseason News: Arbitration book closed
The NHL’s arbitration hearing window is coming to an end, and alas we’ve been robbed of the theater that would be a…Alex Jefferies arbitration hearing. The Isles this week officially announced a one-year, two-way deal with their lone arbitration filing, a player many do not think of and certainly not one whose record (zero NHL […]
