You know that Best of Seven Islanders-Rangers series hockey fans have been clamoring for all season? The series that would end the ‘nobody cares about hockey’ mantra? The series that would put hockey on the back pages? It can still happen … in the First Round. Perhaps they won’t admit it, ...

Well, it took 23 years, but I finally have met my match. The ultimate Ranger fan. Doesn’t know any of those buster’s names from the past. The Kasparaitis’, the Ashams, and certainly not the Valiquettes. Just knows the same three names as everyone else in Manhattan. Gretzky, Leetch, and Lundqvist, and ...

Following yesterday’s big news, Isles TV, and less importantly Greg Picker, caught up with Johnny Boychuk to hear his thoughts on the new deal worth $42Mil over the next 7 years. A few comments made by the Isles newest defenseman stuck out to me, firstly; “Just being how good we are. We’re hard working, we’re ...

In the midst of an exciting season, with a busy trade deadline, and something people like to call a playoff berth; in between the talks of when Kyle Okposo will return, or Whether JT will win the Hart, the Art Ross, or both, I see very little comments on what I ...

Earlier in the week @NetsDaily reported that the Barclays Center had applied to trademark two separate “Brooklyn Hockey” logos. The article got its views, the tweets got their retweets, and Isles fans took to the web to voice their displeasure with a move that seemed to be giving fans a look ...

A lot of things have been said about Garth Snow; some good, most bad. And after a few hickups and a couple of years in the pits of the NHL, Garth Snow has risen, along with him his Islanders club, like a Phoenix from the ashes. The product that now stands in front of us ...

(Courtesy of YouTube user Kyle Mace) Been a busy weekend so I’m a little late to the jump, but MAN do I love a good AHL line brawl. Half the guys out there are either youngsters trying to crack an NHL club, or grizzled, 34 year-old AHL career men who ...

Hell of a week if I do say so myself. Peaks and valleys, as we saw the team fall flat late against the Rags, but to then bounce back and stomp out both the league’s worst, and the league’s best. Tavares is back in the points race, as his 60 points on ...
