'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...

NHL Game Preview: Penguins at Islanders
(NHL.com)
Trying to snap a six-game losing streak, the New York Islanders (8-15-4) host the Pittsburgh Penguins (18-9-1) Tuesday. On the contrary, the Penguins have won three straight games and are 7-2-1 in their last 10 games. November was a month that the Islanders would probably prefer to forget, finishing the month with a disappointing record of 4-10-1. During their six-game...
Dan Petriw: News and Notes and the Bridgeport Report with Scotty Mayfield
Hereâs a quick update on some of the trade rumors circling the Islanders today. Some you are familiar with and some are new. Since nothing ever gets leaked from Islander land these have come from the other parties involved.

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...

Pittsburgh Penguins vs New York Islanders: The Rivalry by @ChicksDigHockey
What makes a true hockey rivalry (not one manufactured for TV)? The more bitter the hockey rivalry, the better. There has to be bad blood; the kind that comes from blood spilled and championships lost. There has to be a deep-seated hate that makes losing hurt the most. The Pens and Isles have such a history. I went back as far as 1975 to look at this rivalry. The two teams faced...

The shortest Sunday report ever (sort of)
This really will not take very long as Sunday was not a bad day but it wasn't a good day for the New York Ranger and New York Islander prospects.Loic Leduc (NYI 2012 4th) and his Cape Breton Screaming Eagles doubled up Ryan Graves (NYR 2013 4th) and his Charlottetown Islanders 6-3 in penalty filled game.

The two headed monster strikes again
Adam Pelech (OHL Images)Saturday night saw a bit of everything from big goals to defensive stands to ejections from the New York Ranger and New York Islander prospects. The story leading us off has to be the Erie Otters who won their 4th straight game to increase their hold on the best record in all of the CHL.The Otters have Adam Pelech and Troy Donnay (who will be featured in the...
Islanders’ recent struggles could put Capuano’s job in jeopardy
It’s impossible to make the argument that Islanders coach Jack Capuano isn’t trying, or that he doesn’t care.
Yet, as of late, it’s easy to make the argument that all of the effort and passion has gone for naught, as Capuano’s team fell again on Saturday night at the Coliseum, a 3-2 overtime loss to the Capitals which was the Islanders’ sixth loss in a row — the past...
Garrioch: Islanders pursuing Ryan Miller

Dee Karl: Donovan Gets A Ferry Ride
For Matt Donovan's post game honesty regarding his mistake on the ice, he gets a ferry ticket to Bridgeport. In his place, Calvin deHaan will finally get his shot in Uniondale.
It was another heartbreaker as the Isles continue to fall short on the score board. But Jack Capuano seemed to believe that "it was a costly turnover" that lead to yet another loss. Matt...
