#isles Post-Season Report Card Hudson Fasching (F) Age: 29 43GP 2G 2A 4P Grade: F There are few players on the roster more likable than Fasching. And, last year, few players more snakebit. At his best Fasching is a guy whose feet are constantly moving and whose intentions…
NHL teams still need an enforcer on the active roster. Doesn’t matter if they are in the press box most of the season, they need to be inserted into games on a specific basis. #Isles don’t have that right now and I’m not sure it’s a great idea with the younger, new look roster.
What NHL opinion will have you like this
Not A Hockey Post. Fantastic Four is the best Marvel movie since Ironman. I can't believe they remembered how to make a good movie.
I am very saddened to hear that Bobby, a member of our Islanders family lost his battle with cancer. If you’re able, please consider making a donation to support Bobby’s wife and children. My condolences go out to his friends and family gofundme.com/f/support-bobb…
"Bo Horvat texted me right away. You better not trade me." Former #Isles forward & now assistant to GM Matt Martin joined @CamandStrick to discuss his new role, Dobson trade & much more in what was a fantastic interview @TheHockeyNews thehockeynews.com/nhl/new-york-i…
#Isles Tidy work.
The New York Islanders have re-signed RFA Forward Maxim Tsyplakov to a two-year extension. #Isles 2 Years x $2.25 AAV
I don't know how to tell people this but the reason that hockey has more of these incidents go public has nothing to do with the culture being more toxic than other sports and everything to do with the fact that the MLB, NFL, and NBA have infinitely more money and influence…
#isles 40-50 points is where I see him.
Over or under 55 points for our #10 next season?
#isles Post-Season Report Card Marc Gatcomb (F) Age: 26 29GP 8G 1A 9P Grade: B When I talked about Tysplakov during his report card I brought up how he injected creativity and offense into a struggling Bottom 6 for the Islanders. Nobody benefitted more from that than Marc…
He was the perfect player at that position.
Nick Lidstrom would universally be considered the best defenseman of all time if he was Canadian
#isles Post-Season Report Card Maxim Tsyplakov (F) Age: 26 77GP 10G 25A 35P Grade: B Not particularly fast, not particularly agile - these things out of a KHL import in his mid-20's torpedo my expectations out of the gate. Too many of these kids come over from playing so…

Honestly, I fell in-love with the dark jersey at home change. I hate when we disagree, Stef. 😢
White jerseys at home.
My new phone arrives tomorrow. Transitioning off the Galaxy Ultra to a Z Fold 7. Feels like a big leap. We'll see.
#isles This kid better learn. The underlying laziness of what he's saying is pretty profound. Obviously, if you can enter the zone under control then it's the best possible outcome, but when you can't you need to get the puck deep and battle.
Matvei Michkov couldn’t believe it the first time he got asked to dump and chase 😅 (via @Uggg_uggg)
