New York Islanders Summer Playbook
Posted on 30 Jun 2011 by Margaret DeJesus.
Garth Snow is in a pickle. The New York Islanders' general manager has $27.534 million to spend come July 1 and a crop of promising, young talent on which to build around but he's missing the buzz. Empty seats, a run down enviorment, poor statistics and win record don't help entice players to call Nassau Coliseum home. (i.e. Christian Ehrhoff: FAIL; Evgeni Nabokov: FAIL) A second showing of M...

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...

Isles, Moulson claw their way past Panthers
Posted on 22 Feb 2011 by Dave Thomas.
While the playoffs may seem out of reach to most who follow the New York Islanders, don't tell that to the team itself. Matt Moulson tallied a hat-trick (second of his career) Monday afternoon, as the Isles skated to a 5-1 victory on President's Day on Long Island. Al Montoya, who was coming off of a shutout of the Los Angeles Kings this past Saturday evening, turned aside 20 shots to score th...

What do Islanders need heading into trade deadline?
Posted on 21 Feb 2011 by Dave Thomas.
Can a team ever have too many goaltenders? For the New York Islanders, the 2010-11 season has been a house of horrors particularly in net. After trading veteran goalie Dwayne Roloson to Tampa Bay as the New Year began, the Islanders were about ready to embark on a circus ride of goaltenders. Guys with experience and guys barely out of diapers when it comes to NHL experience in the pipes pretty ...

Islanders dethrone Kings, Montoya records 3-0 shutout
Posted on 20 Feb 2011 by Dave Thomas.
As the Los Angeles Kings were winding down their epic road trip across North America, they likely didn't have Feb. 19 checked off on the calendar as a shutout loss. The New York Islanders did just that Saturday night in front of more than 13,000 fans, getting a strong game in goal from seldom used Al Montoya (35 saves), while Matt Moulson tallied a pair of goals against brother-in-law Jonatha...

Isles outslug Penguins 9-3
Posted on 12 Feb 2011 by Dave Thomas.
Saying the New York Islanders and Pittsburgh Penguins have grown not to like each other is like saying a few people in Egypt want freedom. Yes, bigtime understatement. Less than two weeks after literally slugging it out at Consol Arena in Pittsburgh, the Isles and Pens had at it again Friday evening on Long Island, with the home team prevailing 9-3 for its second straight win of the week. John ...

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...

Islanders look to make difference in second half of season
Posted on 1 Feb 2011 by Dave Thomas.
While just about everyone in the hockey world knows the New York Islanders will once again be hitting the golf links early this year, that doesn't mean the team can finish the post All-Star break by limping into the off-season. The Isles begin play again tonight with a road contest in Atlanta against the Thrashers, who go for their third win in as many tries this season against New York when ...

Sabres return favor, win second of home-and-home set with Isles 5-3
Posted on 25 Jan 2011 by Dave Thomas.
While much of the news prior to their game Sunday afternoon with the Buffalo Sabres involved whether or not goalie Evgeni Nabokov would join the Islanders, the home team went out and dropped a 5-3 decision to their in-state rivals at Nassau Coliseum. The Islanders had claimed Nabokov on waivers Saturday after his departure from the Russian league, but he so far has said he wouldn't report to Ne...

Posted on 4 Jan 2011 by Dave Thomas.
Not much more than hours after dealing veteran goalie Dwayne Roloson, the New York Islanders embarked on a western Canadian road trip following a stop in Detroit Dec. 31. If the first game of the ventures to Canada was any indication, the Islanders will do just fine on this trip.
