NHL trade deadline: Snow says Islanders don't intend to trade Evgeni Nabokov

from Pierre LeBrun of ESPN, “Yeah, we have a lot of belief in that locker room,” Isles GM Garth Snow told ESPN.com Wednesday. “Within the last few weeks, we’ve really turned it up a notch as a team. Our specialty teams have improved. We’re just looking forward to the next game.” Veteran netminder Evgeni Nabokov has been lights-out of late. He...

We didn't check to see if there was a full moon on Saturday night, but the way some of the New York Ranger and New York Islander prospects played; it should make you wonder. Textbook hockey was very much not the norm on this evening as there were a couple of instances of just flat out horrible hockey. Rangers First Star Steven Fogarty Steven Fogarty (NYR 2011 3rd) and...

The recent struggles of the Chicago Blackhawks are well-documented. They’re bad. The team has had issues on both ends of the ice, with the more glaring issue obviously being on the blue line.
