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.

Islanders to Welcome Back Pat LaFontaine March 24

Islanders to Welcome Back Pat LaFontaine March 24

December 16th, 2014 Yesterday, the Islanders announced their promotions for the second half of the season.  They will not only be honoring former players like the first half of the season as Kyle Okposo, John Tavares, and Matt Martin all have bobblehead nights scheduled.  Among the promotions announced was the return of former Islanders forward Pat...

Injuries to Boychuk, Hamonic Hurting Islanders

December 10th, 2014 The Islanders have been without Johnny Boychuk and Travis Hamonic for over a week now.  While they were able to survive without them at first notching a couple of victories.  The last two games have shown us that it will be a never-ending fight until these guys return.  There is no timetable for their return yet as the NHL is very...
What Are the Islanders Doing with Ryan Pulock?

What Are the Islanders Doing with Ryan Pulock?

December 8th, 2014 In the last week of November, Ryan Pulock thought his dream of playing in the NHL might be coming to fruition as he was scratched from the Bridgeport Sound Tigers weekend games.   It was thought that the Islanders who are dealing with multiple injuries on defense were going to call up the top young prospect.  As it turned out, Griffin...
Who Is the Missing Link to the Islanders Top Line?

Who Is the Missing Link to the Islanders Top Line?

December 5th, 2014 After the Islanders traded Thomas Vanek last season, fans began to again wonder what the Islanders would do to solve the first line left-wing spot.  Would they allow people with the team to attempt to fill the void?  Or would they acquire a proven player from another team to join that line.  With the talk that the Islanders and Oilers...

December 4th, 2014 After being activated off IR yesterday, Michael Grabner is set to return to the Islanders lineup tonight in Ottawa.  What should fans expect from Grabner this season, and where does he fit in the lineup? #Isles Injury Update: @grabs40 has been activated off the team's injured reserve list. — New York Islanders (@NYIslanders)...
Are the Islanders the Best Team in the NHL?

Are the Islanders the Best Team in the NHL?

December 1st, 2014 As an Islander fan, those are words I wasn't sure I would ever be able to say and mean given the teams struggles on and off the ice the last 20+ years. The New York Islanders are currently tied for first place in the NHL. — Isles Nation (@NYIslesNation) November 30, 2014 However, after Saturdays 3-1 victory over the Devils,...
Islanders Earning Respect From Coaches, Media

Islanders Earning Respect From Coaches, Media

November 25th, 2014 With the Islanders having not experienced much success the last 20+ years, it isn't surprising that they aren't often given any respect in the media and are sometimes viewed unfavorably by other teams.  However, with the team having gotten off to their best start in franchise history with last nights victory over the Flyers that is...
Islanders Fans: Keep the Hate Real

Islanders Fans: Keep the Hate Real

November 21st, 2014 The Islanders currently sit at 13-6, good enough for the best start the team has had since the 87/88 season.  They currently reside in second place in their division and with a sweep of the Penguins this weekend could move into first place.  Their AHL team in Bridgeport has the best record in the eastern conference and doesn't show any...
