By now you’ve all heard the news: Garth Snow’s prodigy coach Scott Gordon has been let go. Gordon, who was to lead our rag tag team of young miscreants to not only Lord Stanley’s cup, not only beat the Russians at their own game, but with some help from Russell Crowe maybe even beat the [...]

Islander’s Mid-Summer Recap

Written by tomcap on Aug 18, 2010 | 0 Comments

Some major roster changes since our last post. The big NEWS is James Wisniewski (get it).  He seals the deal for our top 4 defensemen, creating a very very solid line up between him, Streit, Eaton, and Mcdonald/Martinick (depending who’s healthy).  With all these defense signings this offseason, someone had to go.  And that someone [...]

Ryan Jankowski had a hell of a draft, top prizes being Nino Niederreiter, whose name does in fact NOT fit on the jersey, and Kirill Kabanov. Prospect camp started this week with almost all our [...]

Written by Scucc on Apr 29, 2010 | 1 Comments

Who would of known DiPietro would get hurt again this season……. seriously. Too many Islander fans still have faith in this kid, and sometimes I feel like the only one who never bought into him. Well, regardless of my feeling he and his ludacris salary are here for another 10 or 11 years. I expect [...]
