The Islanders Got Hilariously Outshot And Still Won
The Montreal Canadiens got 56 shots on goal against goalie Thomas Greiss and the New York Islanders. On the defensive end, they only gave up 24 shots. Somehow, they still couldn’t win, as a John Tavares overtime goal and a truly dreadful performance from Carey Price handed Montreal a 5-4 loss in rid...
Reports: Failure Will Move Back To Long Island After Things Didn't Work Out In Brooklyn
Five years after the announcement of a 25-year lease at Brooklyn’s Barclays Center, the New York Islanders are already returning home—well, not quite home, but at least back out of New York City and onto the land mass* where they began (Correction: They never left the land mass). Reports say that a ...
John Tavares Celebrates OT Winner By Punching Teammate In The Face
The New York Islanders’ John Tavares scored in overtime against the Carolina Hurricanes on Tuesday night to give the Islanders the 3-2 win, and it was a beauty:...
The NHL Should Retire No. 66 In Honor Of Josh Ho-Sang<em></em>
Josh Ho-Sang needed four games to earn his first NHL goal, but it was worth it. The 21-year-old scored with a hard slap shot in the Islanders’ 4-1 win over the Oilers Tuesday. He probably imagined Mario Lemieux’s face on the puck when he smacked that one....
Anthony Beauvillier Gets Pranked, Scores, Makes Father Weep With Joy<em></em>
Islanders rookie Anthony Beauvillier returned to Quebec for the first time in his young NHL career and had a real roller coaster of a night. His teammates lovingly pranked him right before warm ups and he took the ice alone. Beauvillier then followed up the lil’ prank by scoring in the first period....
The Islanders Are Kind Of Screwed
Despite the hyperbolic headline on this Bloomberg story, the Islanders are not homeless just yet, and won’t be for at least the next two and a half years. But, uh, they might want to get on figuring that out pretty soon, unless they want to be forced to crash on the Rangers’ couch, or be deported to...
New York Islanders Decline To Say If Jack Capuano Lives In Garth Snow's Basement
The disappointing Islanders have lost six of their last seven and currently hold an underwhelming 5-8-3 record. Head coach Jack Capuano is on the hot seat, and depending on who you believe, the heat around his job status might be rising through the vents and warming up team president Garth Snow’s ho...
Victor Hedman Is Doing Everything
No team left alive will have as long a rest—and no team, perhaps, needs it less—than the red-hot Tampa Bay Lightning, who after their 4-0 series clincher in Game 5 against the Islanders, have made it through to the conference finals for the second straight season, and have done it in just 10 games. ...
Islanders Furious After Big Hit Leads To Lightning OT Win
As sexy as playoff overtime is, it tends to overshadow all the good stuff that came before. And the Lightning’s 5-4 win over the Islanders was very good, very fun hockey, even before Brian Boyle finished things 2:48 into OT to give Tampa Bay the 2-1 series lead. The teams traded body blows throughou...
Islanders Coach Jack Capuano Takes Puck To The Face
Just like the traditional hockey saying goes: One minute, your team is up 4-2 in Game 1 of your second-round series, the next minute you’re in the locker room, bleeding from the head after a hockey puck smashes into your face....
The Panthers Are Out Of The Playoffs Because Of A Bad Call
For pure entertainment value, Islanders-Panthers was the best series of the first round, with every game being close and half of them going to overtime. It ended in spectacular fashion, with John Tavares (who had five goals and four assists in six games) tying the game in the last minute of regulati...
Islanders Knock Out Panthers In Double-OT
John Tavares’s goal at 10:41 of the second overtime gave the Islanders a 2-1 win over Florida, knocking out the Panthers and seizing his team’s first playoff series win since they played in something called the “Patrick Division.” ...
Islanders Take 2-1 Series Lead With Overtime Goal
Thomas Hickey’s goal at 12:31 of the overtime period gave the New York Islanders a 4-3 win over top-seeded Florida. The Islanders scored three unanswered goals to come back from the 3-1 second period deficit....
Leonardo DiCaprio Didn't Want To Be Seen At An Islanders Game
Who’s that mysterious rogue in a Cal hat sitting next to Kevin Connolly at Saturday’s Islanders game? Could it be Leonardo DiCaprio? Since he so skillfully concealed his face from the cameras, we can’t say for sure. Whoever it is, he really didn’t want to be recognized....
Report: The Islanders Are Struggling In Brooklyn
I’ll admit, I called this one wrong: when the Islanders moved into the Barclays Center, I gave up on getting tickets for a few years, thinking it would take at least that long for the novelty to wear off and face-value seats to become available. Well, the Isles’ first regular season in Brooklyn isn’...
Three NHL Games, Two NBA Games Postponed By East Coast Blizzard
How are you planning on spending this snowbound evening? Hopefully you weren’t planning on watching the Wizards, Sixers (you definitely weren’t), or the Islanders play tonight. The NHL has postponed today’s Islanders—Flyers game as well as tomorrow’s Capitals—Penguins game. The Capitals game yesterd...
Islanders Unveil Third Jersey
This morning, less than a week before the start of the preseason (hockey’s almost back!), the Islanders finally unveiled the black uniforms everyone assumed they’d get upon moving to Brooklyn. It’s fine, right? Better than ol’ Fish Sticks. ...
Former Islanders Coach Al Arbour Dies At 82
Al Arbour, the famed New York Islanders coach who led the team to four straight Stanley Cups and 19 consecutive playoff series wins in the ‘80s, has died. Arbour coached 1,500 games with the Islanders, and had the second most wins in NHL coaching history. He was 82....
