How to get rid of the Goons
Posted on 4 Mar 2011 by Corey Krakower.
You’ll have to excuse my bias, but the thing I hate the most in hockey are goons. I’ve played in the same hockey league for the past 5 years, and I probably have 3 penalties in those 5 seasons. That’s just the way I play the game. So, you can imagine my reaction when I see a player like Trevor Gillies get suspended for 9 games, and then the first game he comes back he gets tossed again. T...

Ovechkin highlight goal lifts Caps 2-1 over the Islanders in OT
Posted on 1 Mar 2011 by Dennis Patchett.
The Washington Capitals beat the New York Islanders 2-1 in overtime. Brooks Laich scored with under a minute to go in regulation and Alex Ovechkin scored on a back hand finish after a mad dash through, what seemed, was the entire Islanders team (bench included)! The three trade deadline acquisitions fit in very nicely from the drop of the puck. Marco Sturm (picked up off of waivers) had a ...

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...

Road comback win – just what the Doctor ordered
Posted on 27 Feb 2011 by Dennis Patchett.
Tonight's Washington Capitals comeback win, against the New York Islanders, got the Caps back on track to play inspired hockey. The Caps were down 2-0 when two things happened that are cause for me to declare, the Cap's season is back on track. First, there was Travis Hamonic's goal, a semi-slap shot that wobbled from the blue line over Michal Neuvirth shoulder, and into the net. The p...

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...

Senators the latest victim for the Islanders
Posted on 16 Feb 2011 by Dave Thomas.
Don't look now, but the New York Islanders are one of the hottest teams in the National Hockey League. New York won its fourth straight game Tuesday night, posting a 4-3 shootout victory over the host Ottawa Senators. Michael Grabner (leads all rookies with 25 goals on the season) continued his hot streak, notching a goal in his sixth straight game for the team from Long Island. Meantime, Rob ...
