I am 22 years old and graduated SUNY Old Westbury with a Bachelors degree in Communications. I have been an Islander fan since I can remember. In addition, I have co-ran my own Islanders blog known as savetheisles since 2009.

Make Or Break Season on Horizon for Kevin Poulin

Make Or Break Season on Horizon for Kevin Poulin

August 26th, 2015 With the Islanders seemingly turning a corner as an organization, one player whose future with the organization is unclear is net-minder Kevin Poulin.  At 25 now, it is no longer where you are able to say wait til next year regarding his development.  It is time for Poulin to put his stamp out and show that he belongs or it might be...
Will Isles Pay to Keep Okposo?

Will Isles Pay to Keep Okposo?

July 31st, 2015 One big topic of discussion around the Islanders recently has been the status of forward Kyle Okposo.  Okposo, going into the last year of his five year contract had been the subject of some trade rumors around the draft as he is expected to command a hefty raise from his current salary.  While Garth Snow has been great at retaining...
What Can The Islanders Expect In Return For Okposo?

What Can The Islanders Expect In Return For Okposo?

June 21st, 2015 Arthur Staple of Newsday dropped a bit of a bomb last night when he reported that Islanders star forward Kyle Okposo could be available in trade discussions with the draft coming next weekend and the Islanders lacking picks in the first two rounds.  Okposo, of course, has become a fan favorite over the last few seasons, so this news...
Could We See Phil Kessel in Brooklyn next Season?

Could We See Phil Kessel in Brooklyn next Season?

June 11th, 2015 Rumors surrounding Phil Kessel and his future with the Toronto Maple Leafs has been running rampant for a while now. There have been some who speculated that, with their deep farm system, that the Islanders could make a play for Kessel. My THW colleague Anatoliy Metter did a great job looking at this back in February, prior to the...
Petrov Coming to Brooklyn After Long Wait

Petrov Coming to Brooklyn After Long Wait

June 3rd, 2015 Kirill Petrov was a pretty well thought of prospect heading into the 2008 NHL Draft.  However, due to a pre-existing contract in Russia and uncertainty if he would ever come to North America his stock dropped and the Islanders managed to grab him in the third round.  As the years passed by, most fans began to doubt that Petrov would...
Nelson Coming Back to Life

Nelson Coming Back to Life

May 9th, 2015 In the first half of the Islanders season, no forward was hotter than Brock Nelson.  The second year forward dazzled fans and media alike in the first two-three months of the season with his scoring touch and overall increase in play from the prior season.  However, as the season went on Nelsons play began to fall off and he was never...
Do the Islanders Have a Dilemma on Defense?

Do the Islanders Have a Dilemma on Defense?

April 30th, 2015 While their forward crop might be a little thin, the Islanders on defense have as a good a system as anyone in the NHL.  That system should begin to pay off for them next season as one of Griffin Reinhart, Ryan Pulock, or surprise playoff performer Scott Mayfield are early favorites to get a regular shift in the team's top 6.  While...
Will the Islanders Make a Coaching Change?

Will the Islanders Make a Coaching Change?

April 29th, 2015 Throughout the regular season you probably would've been called crazy by numerous people if you suggested the Islanders should make a coaching change.  After all, the team did have their most points in a season this year since the 83/84 season.  However, the team had a poor second half and while they played Washington tough for most of...
