I didn’t see a trip, GTFO. | Photo by Joel Auerbach/Getty Images Don’t fall into their trap! For Islanders fans, Thursday night in the NHL was hilarious in a black humor kind of way, as the Islanders beat a top team on the road, while every other result fell their way: The Flyers, Capitals and Red Wings each lost in regulation. That means the Isles pull within five points of the...
SBN: Lighthouse Hockey (Jenny Berman) —
Photo by Joel Auerbach/Getty Images Goals from Ryan Pulock, Mat Barzal, and JG Pageau, plus a 27 save performance from Semyon Varlamov, help the Isles secure the win. They absolutely needed that one. With a friendly out-of-town scoreboard (the Canadiens beat the Flyers, the Hurricanes beat the Red Wings, and the Maple Leafs beat the Capitals), the New York Islanders were able to...
SBN: Lighthouse Hockey (Steven E. Smith) —
Patrick Roy’s fourth game. | Photo by Bruce Bennett/Getty Images Three days off from them was nice, but here we are again. I unwisely choose to have hope until I can’t anymore. That was nice, wasn’t it? Three days without the New York Islanders was quite calming, especially since the scoreboard watching, if any, is mostly academic at this point. That’s because it would take a...
SBN: Lighthouse Hockey (Dan Saraceni) —
They are what everyone says they are. Mike and Dan recap a week of brief hope and crushing defeats as the hard working Islanders teams of just a few years ago finally disappear for good. Ineffective, embarrassing losses to the Hurricanes, Red Wings and Devils showed that this version of the Islanders has lost whatever spark it had and is only interested in cosplaying as the Islanders we...
NY Post (Ethan Sears) —
The Islanders’ biggest obstacle in the playoff chase right now is not the Red Wings or Capitals, though they’ll need to clear both teams to get in.
SBN: Lighthouse Hockey (Steven E. Smith) —
Showing desperation, finally. | Photo by Bruce Bennett/Getty Images It’s going to take all that and more to make it, but Detroit left the door open. The New York Islanders got back in the win column for the first time since they were in California by beating up on the Winnipeg Jets, at least for the first and second periods. Their dim playoff hopes are flickering, and if they want...
Mile High Hockey (Evan Liu) —
Photo by Michael Martin/NHLI via Getty Images Colorado looks for a ninth win in a row on Sunday afternoon. The second game of a five-game homestand for the Colorado Avalanche comes in front of a national audience. It also comes against none other than Sidney Crosby and the Pittsburgh Penguins . Both teams are headed in opposite directions of one another, with the latter of...
SBN: Lighthouse Hockey (Steven E. Smith) —
Good night. | Photo by Scott W. Grau/Icon Sportswire via Getty Images I’m at the point where I almost don’t even want the miracle to happen. About a month and 12 games ago, after the afternoon no-show against the Tampa Bay Lightning in The Biggest Game of the Season Thus Far—a title usurped by basically every game since— I wrote this Bits piece in which I called the season. The fact...
SBN: Lighthouse Hockey (Jenny Berman) —
What it feels like to watch the 2023-24 New York Islanders. | Photo by Nic Antaya/Getty Images New lines and goals from Reilly, Pageau, and Barzal couldn’t snap the Islanders out of their slump. More line and position swaps didn’t do much to change the Isles’ fortunes as of late, with the losing streak extending to 6 games, with just one point picked up in that span. And out of...
NY Post (Ethan Sears) —
The Red Wings routed the Islanders 6-3 at Little Caesars Arena, extending the Isles’ losing streak to six with a defeat that will hurt more than all the others.
SBN: Lighthouse Hockey (Dominik) —
A center of interest... | Photo by Dave Reginek/NHLI via Getty Images If the Isles deliver another no-show, just give up already. The Islanders are in desperation mode — strike that, they better be in desperation mode, but who knows what shows up as they visit the Red Wings in a pivotal wild card match in Detroit. The Wings currently hold the second wild card spot, three points ahead...
NY Post (Michael Leboff) —
Rather than back either side in this coin flip, I’d look to the prop market for value.
SBN: Lighthouse Hockey (Dominik) —
Some dramatic photography might make us feel better. | Photo by Dave Reginek/NHLI via Getty Images The Islanders visit a fellow wild card contender. Will they play like they know what’s on the line? Spirits and hopes for the Islanders have cratered, so they’ll probably pull off a win in Detroit tonight to keep their pulse alive. Or not. They’re on a five-game winless slide and...
SBN: Lighthouse Hockey (Steven E. Smith) —
Ilya has had better games. | Photo by Bruce Bennett/Getty Images Sorokin hasn’t been his world-beating self, further exposing how deeply flawed the roster is as they slide down the standings. I don’t know, man. It’s not like I expected the New York Islanders to beat the Carolina Hurricanes . The score was even what I would’ve guessed it would be, 3-1 plus an empty-netter. But the...
SBN: Lighthouse Hockey (Dominik) —
The obligatory Aho-squared photo. | Photo by Bruce Bennett/Getty Images An entirely predictable result. The New York Islanders weren’t ever really in it and lost 4-1 at home to the Carolina Hurricanes . That’s the story. This makes the five-game spiral 0-4-1, with other wild card chasers and playoff holders (Red Wings, Flyers, Devils) picking up two standings points on the...
