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.

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’...

Friday night’s QMJHL game between the Baie-Comeau Drakkar and Charlottetown Islanders concluded prematurely after an issue with the ice. The damage wasn’t actually that serious, until the officials stepped in to deal with it....
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.

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. ...

Islanders Fan On TV: "My Son Was Conceived Back In That Parking Lot"
Tonight's Islanders broadcast featured an interview with an original season ticket holder—that's 42 seasons—and it's quite a doozy. I don't want to spoil it for anybody, so I'll just say the interview touches on sex in the Nassau Coliseum parking lot and an interesting pregnancy decision that may ha...
Face Punched Hard
This is Philadelphia's Ryan White moving the Islanders' Matt Martin's nose a few centimeters to the right in their first-period fight last night....
Jaroslav Halak Makes Stupendous Back-Of-Head Save
It can be hard to remember sometimes that, despite looking like overweight babies swaddled in three too many layers, hockey goalies are amazing athletes with great hand-eye coordination and reflexes. Islander goalie Jaroslav Halak displayed all that—and a healthy dose of luck—when saving this Aleksa...

Gilbert Arenas Lives To Hate On Roy Hibbert
Roy Hibbert pooped the bed again last night, failing to score a single point or pull down a single rebound in 18 minutes against the Wizards. Watching Roy Hibbert play like shit for the last eight games has been the most depressing thing about these playoffs, but his struggles have also brought a gr...
Justin Johnson Fights The Much Larger John Scott, And Wins
I went to a couple of Manchester Monarchs games while Justin Johnson was on the AHL squad. He was proficient at pummeling dudes, racking up 11 points and 392 penalty minutes in 103 games with Manchester. The Islanders called him up from the Bridgeport Sound Tigers this season, presumably to do simil...
