The new Islanders 3rd jerseys break the curse of terrible alternate jerseys (Black ones...). They stuck with NY patch as the main crest in front, and no shoulder patches. The jersey is fairly simple, consisting of no texture, gradient, or innovative designs. Although simple, I really like these new jerseys. On the jersey, there are... Continue Reading →
Last preseason the Islanders scored 1st place. Wow. This year, they are captain-less, but have great management. This is a situation that nobody knows the outcome of. The start of preseason is this Sunday at the Barn. The game is against the Flyers. Many things are unknown. Will Barzal play? What goalie is playing? Will... Continue Reading →
Nobody can say they are happy with John Tavares' departure. However, we need to be honest with ourselves. Even with John Tavares we only won a single playoffs series, I mean, we didn't go anywhere. Is this Tavares' fault? Not likely. This is most likely our pathetic management's fault. Once we fired the atrocity we... Continue Reading →
Today was an amazing day. Barry Trotz, probably the best coach in hockey, has been named the Islanders head coach. He will automatically play an instrumental role in the quest for John Tavares' loyalty. Well, actually, sources state that JT already signed an 8-year deal with the Islanders, but they're waiting until after the draft... Continue Reading →

Well, first of all, a huge loss for the team and the fans. Who knows what will happen without his leadership? We all... Continue Reading →
There are many things General Manager Garth Snow needs to do this off season. This break is perhaps the most important off season in the Islander's recent history. The big thing that should be constantly on Snow's mind is re-signing John Tavares. There is also Jaroslav Halak, who probably will not be resigned. The long... Continue Reading →
The Islanders suck, but don't suck enough to get better. After the 2018 Draft Lottery, the Islanders will select 11th and 12th in the draft. The first round pick will go to the Sabres. Hopefully the Islanders select another Mat Barzal, who went 16th overall.
In his rookie season, Mat Barzal led the team with 85 points. He also recorded 22 goals and 63 assists. Yes, he led the team in assists as well. His opponents are Brock Boeser and Clayton Keller. Boeser has 55 points, 29 goals, and 47 assists. Keller had 65 points, 23 goals, and 42 assists. I'll leave it to you to decide. However, Barzal is... Continue Reading →
