Worst Goaltending Team
Last season the New York Islanders were a surprise playoff team. They took the eighth seed in the East Conference and some saw them as a team on the rise. That hasn't happened so far this year. The main reason for this is poor goaltending. Evgeni Nabokov was expected to be their number one goalie. At age 38, he no longer seems capable of playing at the NHL level. ...

The Islanders will once again attempt to get in the win column as they are in St. Louis to take on a very formable Blues team. This road trip will beyond difficult and any points against these upcoming opponents are good points.

'The Crosby Show' lifts Penguins to 3-2 overtime win over Islanders
Sidney Crosby broke down his game-winning goal in pretty cold, clinical terms.
Talked about how he got possession of the puck outside the offensive blue line, then waited for teammate James Neal to clear the zone. How he had a chance to build up some speed, and how the New York Islanders defensemen were caught flat-footed as he moved in.
He glossed over a few of the details, like...

Dee Karl: Crosby, "Mr. Everything" Does it Again to the Isles
First period looked great for the Isles and Kyle Okposo who scored twice within three minutes. Iâm thinking he really, REALLY wants in on that Olympic squad. Marc Andre Fleury looked a little shaky at first and the first 20 made it seem that this was going to be all Islanders. But things arenât always as the seem for the Islanders.
While the officiating was spotty...
Islanders’ Matt Martin trying to become NHL’s first 400 hit man
The “hits” statistic in the NHL is a dubious one. After all, puck possession should be the primary objective for any team, and chances are you’re checking someone to gain a puck you don’t possess.
The other problem with the stat is the nebulous accounting that undercuts its credibility. Some arena scorekeepers determine “a hit” differently. Some shower home players with...
