NHL Arbitrator Upholds Visnovsky Trade
September 12th, 2012 It seems that one thing after another had been going bad for the Islanders this summer, but finally the Islanders received some good news. Nearly three months after the June 22nd trade was made it became official Lubomir Visnovsky will be a New York Islander this season (of course assuming there is one). As per the original trade...
NHL Lockout Ramifications: New York Islanders
August 29th, 2012 The summer has not been good for the Islanders, even by their standards. With the only major acquisition to a last place team trying to get out already, it seems that every media outlet is decrying the Islanders and their chances in the 2012-13 season.

He of course quickly backtracked to Newsday’s Arthur Staple. https://twitter.com/StapeNewsday/status/216903553795620865 But now a full month after the trade went down Visnovsky...
Nassau Tries to Save the Islanders, Again
July 8th, 2012 While there hasn’t been too much going on with the Islanders on-ice product lately (as they’re apparently done with free agency), the intrigue surrounding their arena situation is starting back up again. First we had the privately-financed Lighthouse Project that was called to big and rejected by the Town of Hempstead. Last year...
