What the Islanders Should Do This Off-Season (Part 2)

Now that we have addressed what the Islanders should do in free agency this summer, let’s take a look at some internal issues that linger within the team.  The Islanders have a nice stockpile of young talent on the roster.  Yes, this has been a common theme for some time now, but with the right ...

What the Islanders Should Do This Off-Season (Part 1)

There is a big difference in what the New York Islanders “should” do this off-season and what they probably “will” do.  However, as fans on the outside looking in, we can only hope for the best.  With several veterans coming off the books this summer, the Islanders front office will be looking to fill some ...

Islanders Season in Review

Each April, Islanders fans of late are stuck watching the best hockey on Earth without their beloved team being involved.  Missing the playoffs has been a reoccurring theme for the New York Islanders since the mid 90′s.  Watching this year’s tournament with intense matchups like Flyers-Penguins, Blues-Sharks, and Rangers-Senators has left a salivating taste in my mouth.  As an ...

Will John Tavares Get to 82pts?

With the season nearing its conclusion, most Islanders fans have already turned the page and are looking forward to next season.  That feeling is certainly a common occurence on Long Island.  However, there is one thing that keeps drawing me to the television for these last few games, besides just loving the sport of hockey.  ...

Islanders Possible Draft Targets

The New York Islanders have fallen 11 points behind the Washington Capitals for the 8th and final playoff spot.  With just the 12 games remaining and sitting 14th in the Conference, it looks like Islanders fans can start turning their focus to the offseason once again.  As it stands, the Islanders would be in position ...

Islanders Take Part One Of Devils Trilogy

Just when you think the Islanders season is over and you start eyeing potential draft picks, they go out and pick up two big wins this weekend.  As it stands today, the Islanders are just 5 points out of the 8th playoff spot that nobody seems to really want.  Today’s victory was the beginning of an ...

The Battle of New York: Islanders/Rangers

Tonight the Islanders and Rangers will meet for the fifth time this season.  The two teams could not be any further apart in the NHL spectrum.  The Rangers are currently the top team in the Eastern Conference with 81 points and seem to be rolling along to claim the #1 seed for the playoffs.  Meanwhile, ...

Will the New York Islanders be Buyers or Sellers?

With a big 3-1 victory over the Winnipeg Jets on Tuesday, the Islanders have found themselves just 6 points out of the 8th and final playoff spot with a game in hand on Toronto who currently holds that position.  With 26 games remaining, that is certainly an attainable feat, even for the New York Islanders.  However, the February ...

Islanders Re-Sign Frans Nielsen and His Backhand

Yesterday it was reported that the New York Islanders had re-signed Danish center Frans Nielsen to a 4-year $11 million contract.  Nielsen, who was set to become a free agent after the season, has 9 goals and 16 assists in 52 games played this season.  Besides centering the team’s second line, Nielsen is a valuable ...

The Top 10 Sweetest Flows in the NHL

It’s a well-known fact that having an amazing flow can take any hockey player’s game to unparalleled levels.  By flow, of course I am referring to a great head of hair.  There are certain features that can make or break a man’s flow.  Most importantly it has to look brilliant while emanating out of your ...
