Heartbreak on Long Island
Posted on 31 Mar 2011 by Margaret DeJesus.
Scratch your head and rub your eyes all you want. The score was 6-2 for New York, but not the team you’d expect. Spoiler alert: the Rangers blew it. The Islanders unraveled the Rangers who looked lifeless in what was supposed to be a match for their playoff lives. The Isles – second to last place with nothing to play for – were party poopers looking for payback. They were hungrier, gritti...

Rangers 6 – Islanders 3
Posted on 15 Mar 2011 by Adam Gavriel.
Starting to type this one up quickly after the game, which only means that the other game that truly matters to the Rangers tonight, the Hurricanes/Sabres game in Buffalo has yet to be decided yet. At 9:53 pm Carolina leads Buffalo 1-0 with 9:05 to go in the third. Rooting for the Sabres to make a miraculous regulation comeback, but would much rather just have the game not go to OT. So bac...

Player Profile: Bryan McCabe
Posted on 1 Mar 2011 by Adam Gavriel.
Chalk me up to shiny new toy syndrome. I waited until after it was apparent that the Rangers would not be adding any big names at the deadline (sorry if you're reading this John Mitchell) to start typing up my piece on McCabe; because if Richards was added you know this week would be all about Brad. McCabe was brought to the Rangers a couple of days before the trading deadline for Tim Kennedy w...

Player Profile: Martin Biron
Posted on 22 Feb 2011 by Adam Gavriel.
It's backup goalie time. Marty has been a pretty big part of the Rangers so far this season, even in his limited time between the pipes. Everywhere he's played the fans have loved him because he is such a personable kind of guy, the media loves him because he's not afraid to talk and you can tell he has the ultimate respect of his teammates as well. Biron may be the best Rangers backup goalie i...

Depleted Islanders pick up Montoya in goal
Posted on 9 Feb 2011 by Dave Thomas.
As if their season could not get much worse, the New York Islanders watched young goalie Kevin Poulin have a freak injury prior to the start of last night's game with Toronto (5-3 loss). Poulin injured his left kneecap, meaning he will require surgery and will be lost for the remainder of the season. So, with other goalies Rick DiPietro and Nathan Lawson both nursing injuries, the Isles went ou...

Kicking off a weekend home-and-home series with the Buffalo Sabres Friday night on the road, the New York Islanders were looking to make an impression. Well, they did that and then some.

Posted on 2 Jan 2011 by Dave Thomas.
In a move that may or may not alter what has already turned into a disappointing season for the New York Islanders, goalie Dwayne Roloson was shipped over the weekend from the Isles to Tampa Bay for a minor league defenseman Ty Wishart. Roloson, who is in the final year of a two-year deal, was 6-13-1 to date in 2010 with a 2.64 goals-against average and .916 save percentage in 20 games. Dway...

Flyers Vs. Kings Preview, Schenn Shines
Posted on 30 Dec 2010 by Eric Cooney.
The Kings had a 4 game win streak snapped last night in Phoenix as the Pacific Division continues to be the toughest in the league this season. Just 7 points divide 1st place Dallas and last place Phoenix. These numbers are even tighter when you consider the difference in games played by each team. Any way you shake it, the Pacific Division remains the tightest in the NHL. (more…)
