Schremp gives the Isles a Cocktail finish

He has suck great stick handling skills – just like a certain player that was an Islander that also came from the Syracuse area. Just a great move to finish a ho-hum game.  But it is two points…Read More

Another win at MSG

I wouldn’t necessarily call it “pretty” or “textbook” by any means, but for the third time this season, the Isles beat their cross-town rivals, the New York Rangers, in their…Read More

An early Christmas present

I had to read and hear about this game, unfortunately. An unexpected and unwelcome trip the the emergency for chest discomfort and such made me unable to catch anything last night. I don’t recommend…Read More

Pray the Gods smile on the Isles

A nice Christmas present for the boys would be a well played win against the Loafs. Other presents would be: 1.  JT and Okie getting goals (especially in 5 on 5 situations) 2.  A PK that stops the opponents. 3. …Read More

Lackluster 3rd crashes Isles

The skates did not seem to be wearing out; the effort just seemed to be less for me than it was in the prior two periods.  Losing the battles in the corners, not making solid passes – the team just…Read More

And more..

Who was the home team?

Well, another game the Isles played well and out shot their opponents, but still ended up losing. In…Read More

Ooooooh Boy

What a difference a day makes…. 24 little hours. The message from Torts came through loud and…Read More

Oooooooh baby!

With respect to John Davidson – It was the Islanders who came out the happier team.  To me –…Read More

Tonight, Tonight, Tonight…

All I will say is this: JUST BE BETTER THAN MONDAY NIGHT – AND SNEAK OUT TWO POINTS! That sounds…Read More

Forget about it and move on, but learn from it too

To me, there is no point in analyzing last night’s game. There is also much that can be said.…Read More

Time to take the Catnip away from the Panthers tonight

Is it just me, or do the Panthers seem to have their way of the Isles lately?  They have spring to their step, and give the Isles fits! I feel like I am Andy Rooney, podering the obvious. After the great…Read More

A little home cooking does the Isles good

It was, especially throughout the second and third periods, one of the most entertaining games I’ve caught this season. The Islanders and Bruins played a physical, up and down game that really…Read More

Re-establish Fort Neverlose

Now that the boys will be home for the next 20 days (including the two road games that they can travel by LIRR to), it is time to get the home ice advantage going. All I was looking for from the road…Read More

Where did the effort go?

Heavy forechecking, a good cycle, aggressive play, shots on goal and overall control of the game. These are elements that have defined much of the successful play of the Isles this season. Many…Read More

Witt hit by a car – will play tonight

According to Katie Strang of Newsday, Islanders defenseman Brendan Witt was hit by a car making an illegal left turn in downtown Philadelphia, while going to get a latte at Starbucks. Witt was thrown to…Read More

Welcome back Peter (well – sort of)

It is nice to see our old coach back in the game.  I am sure that he has been chomping at the bit – waiting for his shot to get back behind the bench.  Although he did a nice job at TSN –…Read More

Go to your room, dads!

No support tonight in the 4-0 loss. Roloson looked a little ordinary.  The team was a flat as a silver dollar pancake.  It will happen over the course of an 82 game season. Write it off and move on. The…Read More

Dad’s help get the Isles the win

Matt Moulson’s dad, Steve, woke him up at 6:30AM – as dad wanted to check on the future’s market.  Needless to say, Matt was not to happy. Well – all is forgiven now. Three goals,…Read More

Let me start over here

I guess that I should have taken the time to do a little bit of introducing myself before I jumped right into posting. So, if you good folks don’t mind, I’ll say a few things about myself…Read More

Isles look for Dad’s help tonight

The Dad’s are on the road with the boys for a few days. Southern sunshine and hockey – nice combo…. Captain Kovalchuk is back – and that should make things tough.  The Thrash are…Read More
