I think the Islanders could do very well this season.
Itâs pouring rain on Long Island, but it could be worse. Itâs just funny that it always seems to rain on the Islandersâ parade. A free scrimmage between Bridgeport Sound Tigers and the Islanders tonight at 7 pm and we get wet, slick roads. Thanks Mother Nature.
So whatâs going on? Well, strictly a technicality, but Jesse Joennsuu and Josh Bailey are suspended for getting injured in...

Optimistic Islanders charge their way through camp
The New York Islanders, one of few teams that made news during the NHL's lengthy lockout, hope to continue to ride the attention wave into the shortened season.
And maybe make the postseason along the way.
The Islanders, who announced in October that they will leave the Nassau Coliseum for Brooklyn and the new Barclays Center in 2015, haven't qualified for the playoffs...
Visnovsky to join Islanders in a few weeks
Defenseman Lubomir Visnovsky apparently has given up his attempt to continue to play in Solvakia and will return to play for the New York Islanders, although it may be two or three weeks before he joins the NHL team. Late Tuesday, Visnovsky's agent, Neil Sheehy, confirmed on Twitter that Visnovsky, 36, will return to the Islanders after taking care of some personal situations...
KHL rejects Visnovsky request to sign with HC Slovan
New York Islanders defenseman Lubomir Visnovsky is still not with the Islanders, but he is not playing for HC Slovan either as the situation continues to be unsettled. The Islanders have already suspended Visnovsky for not showing up for camp and remaining overseas, but on Tuesday, the KHL rejected Visnovsky's request to sign a contract with the HC Slovan because of the...
DiPietro, Islanders look for bounceback season
Rick DiPietro knows all about being kept away from the hockey rink when he wished he could play.
Injuries upon injuries have sidelined the man who should have been the New York Islanders' franchise player but instead became the punch line for the club that has struggled to stay relevant in the NHL.
But DiPietro is back with the Islanders, ready to get back on the ice for the...
Dee Karl: Capuano: Not Worried, Concerned
My blog box buddies, Johnny Z from YesIslanders and Ken Dick from OkposoNet sat in the front row of the room waiting for Jack Capuano to arrive. The MSM, like Art Staple, took up a spot against the wall (as usual). I sat in the back (as usual).
Jack, wearing a suit that is obviously too big for him now that he has lost so much weight, made his way through the crowd and smiled at the media...
Islanders Update 1/15/13
Visnovsky to Return?As I wrote yesterday the Kontinental Hockey League was expected to suspend Lubomir Visnovsky if he didn’t report to the New York Islanders’ training camp on Monday. As expected Visnovsky didn’t show up, instead he was seen on the bus with his KHL team on their way to Prague for their game tonight. A game that he will not be able to play in.Following his...

SYOSSET, N.Y – It was pretty easy to see the excitement on Jon Landry’s face when he was talking being invited to the New York Islanders Training Camp.
“It feels unbelievable,” he said beaming from ear to ear when asked about it. “It’s a dream come true to get to this level and hopefully I can earn a spot and prove to myself...
Dee Karl: Condensed Season? Balls to the Wall
âBalls to the Wallâ
Thatâs the way Rick DiPietro described what this shortened season would be like.
I thought my two questions to ask the players were reasonable. But I forgot a few things. All I asked was âWhat are you looking forward to the most and what worries you the most about the shortened season?â
Simple, right?
Well, I forgot that...
