Tell me where you’ve heard this one before. The Islanders are handed a power play late in the game with a chance to either win or go ahead. What happens? They completely shit the bed and end up on the wrong side of the scoreboard. Well that scenario, which reared ...

Last night wasn’t exactly how the Islanders or their favs envisioned their first foray back in the Conference Finals in 27 years. They got embarrassed. The score —in which the final read 8-2 Lightning by the way — doesn’t take away from how brutal the team was from the moment ...

For so long, a generation of New York Islanders fans had been subjected to hearing stories about the glory days. 1975. The dynasty. The Easter Epic. The upset of the Penguins in 1993. Those stories are always great and they never get old. But after awhile, you begin to question: ...

Josh Bailey has had a lot of haters over the years. We’re not going to name them by name, even though you probably know who they are. As of right now, they are all probably eating their words. And why not? Bailey, who is the longest-tenured member of the organization ...

At the trade deadline this year, Islanders’ general manager Lou Lamoriello knew his team was ailing. The Isles had lost top-pairing d-man Adam Pelech a month earlier to what would have been a season-ending leg injury. They had been without Casey Cizikas and Cal Clutterbuck, two thirds of one of ...

Man, can a lot change in just two days. On Wednesday, the Isles missed out on an opportunity to sweep their best-of-five qualifying round against the Florida Panthers. They fell by a score of 3-2. Mathew Barzal, the team’s most important forward, played his worst game of the series, generating ...
