Islanders Get Blown Away By Hurricane
The New York Islanders might still win the Metropolitan division this year. They also might lose it by a point or two. If the latter scenario plays out, they will look back to this game as one they let slip from their grasp.
There are no sure things in today’s NHL. No easy wins. No pushover teams. But when you are at home, playing a team that is in last place in your division with...

Islanders-Rangers Tie for Top Spot Great for Hockey
It’s not a question of balancing one’s fandom with objective analysis, or succumbing to partiality as a means of appearing unbiased. Not in the least.
The facts are these: the New York Rangers tying the Islanders for the top spot in the Eastern Conference last night is the best thing to happen to the Isles, the Blueshirts, New York City and New York City hockey since both respective...

What Signing Boychuk Can Hold For The Islanders’ Future
On February 24th, Nick Leddy signed a contract extension with the New York Islanders through 2022.

Islanders: Triantaphilisms — 10 Things I Think I Think 2/27/15
With the New York Rangers’ win over the Arizona Coyotes last night, the New York Islanders, for at least one night, find themselves in second place in the Metropolitan Division.
Yes, both teams have 82 points apiece. The Islanders even own the season series between the two rivals in 2014-15, but it’s the Rangers on an 8-0-2 tear, without Henrik Lundqvist, holding two games in...
Farewell to the Nassau Coliseum: Day 43
No Islanders hockey on a Thursday night. That’s different. Instead fans will have to find another way to fuel an Islanders craving.
I’m not saying this will help. But I’ll do the best I can.

Some Islanders Traditions Will Never Go Away
Since the inception of the New York Islanders in 1972, they have provided a level of access and availability that most professional teams do not offer.
There was a reason they had their victory parades in the early 1980’s on Hempstead Turnpike, as opposed to other more prestigious locations. That was simply because they not only wanted, but needed to share the experience with their...
Islanders Should Consider Splitting Playing Time In Goal
Chad Johnson‘s last four starts in the Islanders’ goal have been a welcome site for Garth Snow, Jack Capuano and Islanders’ fans.

Islanders Insight’s Top Shelf: 2|26|15
Three trades were made around the NHL over the course of yesterday, none of them involving the New York Islanders. As the trade deadline looms, Islanders fans should expect more of the same silence.

Islanders Look To Balance The Books On Boychuk
The New York Islanders and their general manager Garth Snow made a huge catch yesterday in the sometimes overwhelming pond that is home to NHL defenseman.

NHL’s Loser Point Affecting Islanders In The Standings
When you look at the standings, you see the Islanders are on top of the Metro Division, followed somewhat closely by the Penguins, Rangers and Capitals. But, look a little closer and you’ll see another column next to wins and losses. That’s the ROW or Regulation/Overtime Win column. You see, in the delusional world of the NHL, if you wind up winning in the shootout, well that’s...

Nick Leddy agrees to seven-year extension
The New York Islanders have signed Nick Leddy to a seven-year, $38.5 million contract extension.
I know a few Chicago Blackhawks fans who would have loved to keep Nick Leddy in the fold as part of the Blackhawks core. However, Chicago’s management group anticipated a big-payday on the horizon for Leddy a good young defenseman and they were not wrong. Today, the New York Islanders...
