Islanders’ Third Line Gets Consistency & More With Pageau
The New York Islanders’ third line has been a black hole, a revolving door, a who’s who of skaters since the beginning of the 2018-19 season. In the summer of 2018, general manager Lou Lamoriello signed center, Valtteri Filppula, to a one-year contract to fill the hole that was created when former captain, John Tavares, […]

Lafrenière Would Solve a Few of the Islanders’ Problems
First, let’s address what some might be thinking; No, the New York Islanders should not tank at a chance for the first-overall pick in the 2020 NHL Entry Draft. Their goal should be to win the Stanley Cup. Glad we got that out of the way. As if 2020 couldn’t get any weirder, on June […]

Ranking the Islanders Jerseys
For the most part, when you think of the New York Islanders sweaters, you really only think of the blue home and white road sweaters that have been around since the 1972-73 season (minus the names on the back). Since then, not much has changed on those uniforms, and honestly, that’s a wonderful thing. The […]

Islanders’ Remaining Schedule an Uphill Battle
Let’s face it. Since the New York Islanders’ 15-0-1 streak through mid-November, the team has been sub-par at best, and that’s being generous. With 15 games remaining on the schedule, the Metropolitan Division is still up for grabs, and by no means is the Stanley Cup Playoffs out of the question. Related: Bill Torrey – […]

Islanders’ Center Depth Has Been Their Achilles Heel
The New York Islanders have been an inconsistent hockey club since their 15-0-1 stretch to start the season. The lackluster play of the club is a direct result of the numerous forward line changes that have been made throughout the season in order to find the right fit.
