A look around the web at the most recent New York Islanders news. Make Eyes On Isles your go to website for all things Islanders.

The Islanders goalie situation is a bit complex when you think about it. They have more of a 1a and 1b situation as opposed to a starter and backup with Jaroslav Halak and Thomas Greiss. Then what happens with J.F. Berube?

Lighthouse Hockey ran a poll to see what fans thought about who the Islanders would have as their goalie combo this year.

The options were: 1) Greiss/Berube with Halak on another team, 2) Greiss/Berube with Halak on waivers, 3) Greiss/Berube with Halak on IR, 4) Greiss/Halak with Berube hitting waivers and ending up in Bridgeport, 5) Halak/Berube with Greiss on IR or 6) Halak/Greiss/Berube all active.

I’m not going to give you thee results because that’d ruin all the fun, but I will tell you which one I voted for. I think all three are going to be active to start the year. Is that the right thing for the Islanders? Probably not, but I don’t see another scenario unless something happens in the World Cup of Hockey.

We’ll have to wait and see what ends up happening but it’s just something to think about.
