Anyone watching?
The logo for the score is massive, it blocks out play in the top 10-15% of the rink.
Orange team has Kosikinen and Blue has Nilsson right now in net
First goal was for Orange, one of the local camp invitees

They’ve interviewed JT, one of the scouts and now Morrow, and they all sound high on Petrov

Half Time
Thankfully, Kosikinen and Nilsson are insanely impressive. Only 1 goal against either of them and the game is pretty loose and wild. Rosen and someone else are going to be in the net for the 2nd half, so expect more goals.
Nino had a nice move right before the half, splitting two defenders and just barely being stopped by a 3rd player before he could take a shot.

Cizikas made a very solid pass there for the only goal. Not difficult since the defense was beat, but it was spot on and Markowitz hammered it home, nice job there.
I cannot wait for Rakh-tober.
agreed, especially as they pointed out that when Nilsson is down his legspan is post to post.

they pointed that out? I didn’t hear Chris King say one thing about the goalies being big and not being able to find a hole between either of them at all. ;)

lol, is the microphone popping and crackling for you too?
I like the interviews, but considering no one has numbers it would be nice if they actually did some play by play so you could tell whose who.

Interesting
Snow didn’t exactly rule out signing Kovy.

Garth, you cagey goalie, you…
(Snide aside: Now that the rumored NJ offer is 17 years, maybe he’s finally in our ballpark.)

Very interesting
If you made an offer and then it was pulled off the table then why be so hush hush about it. In the past Snow was straight forward about trying to get free agents and the such. ( trying to re-sign Smith.) I would think that Newsday’s sorority girl stumbled into something that maybe she jumped the gun on. If the rumor is true that the league will fight for a lower salary cap in the next collective bargaining agreement two years from now. (A few paragraphs down – http://espn.go.com/nhl/blog//name/lebrunpierre/id/5364612/what-going-ilya-kovalchuk) What team other than the Islanders who have to really make up enough to get to the cap floor and the Thrashers. Colorado is another choice but will he go there and do they want him.
-After this year we easily free up about 8 more million with Witt 3 mil and Yashin 4.7 mil. I do understand we have to sign Bailey, Okposo, Comeau but its almost like a break even at that point. I still think something is going on and Garth also hinted about obtaining a d-man via trade.
Just to clarify, I got the feeling from Snow it was more along the lines of “If Kovy Comes to our Offer” instead of the Islanders actively throwing out offers to him. Snow knows what he is willing to sign him for and probably isn’t going to move.

of course it is
Garth’s negotiating idea, I believe, is to put it all on the table, take it or leave it.
so it does but
the post I responded to made it sound as if his hit came off entirely. His hit peaks at $4.7 mil this year and drops to $2.2 mil for the remainder.
The SBNY reporter
Is saying that attendance is around 5K. I’ve been to some Isles games with less then that.

Thanks guys. Final announced attendance: 4,940

No problem. Pretty good considering average reported attendance last year was 12K

yeah, we go up 18 pts after adding JT and Moulson
and lose 1000 average attendance. How, may I ask, do our marketing and PR staffs still have jobs?
Attendance tends to reflect last years team unless your the Rangers

Contributor to Lighthouse Hockey not sure if I'm the Sniper or the Enforcer.
maybe
but you would think that attendance would be boosted with the hype—such as it was—about JT. There was certainly a lot of talk about season packages being bought up after we drafted JT.
here, I did this article about a year ago, http://www.paperstreetbrigade.com/blog/?p=4741 I graphed Attendance Vs Wins for teams that have moved and the Rangers and Devils.
A lot of the time when the teams on a downswing, the attendance is still on the upswing.

TV ratings were up.
Since more people watched them on TV last year relatively-speaking and they improved, I think they will do a bit better attendance-wise this upcoming season.
Let Us Go, Islanders! (Ever notice how strange that sounds without the contraction?)

Nino Scores
Penalty shot for his team and he convinced the fouled player to let him switch. Good hands for a big guy.

Deflected off the defender and went by Rosen.

Rosen looking good
Bunch of good saves the last few minutes. I wasn’t expecting much from him considering that reports from the Flyers Prospect camp last year was that he was the worst goalie at camp.

Irony?
The Islanders Broadcast keeps having Fios commercials, I wonder if it’s a shot across the bow at a certain company, or just coincidence?

More Praise for Petrov
From Gordon this time. If the Islanders can pry him away from the KHL, I think he’s on the team this year.

Man, every image and description I see of him right now is … maybe “serious” isn’t the right word but “professional” probably is. It sounds like he came to play ball. Wonder what “let’s do this thing” is in Russian?

Looks like he’s been struggling in the AHL though. 11 points 2 years ago, 6 points last year.

omg
Nino has insane breakaway moves. We might start playing for shootout if we have Neilsen, Schremp, Nino and Parentau.

Oh, he wasn’t there, but he is a shootout specialist. I think he was 4 for 6 and the Rangers had quite a few games were they didn’t play him (or gave him 5 min) and used him just for the shootout.

1979-80

May 24, 1980: Tonelli to Nystrom. At long last, the steady build of the New York Islanders from expansion doormat to surprise semifinalist to annual contender reaches the promised land: Buoyed by a late season trade for Butch Goring that gave the team the depth up the middle GM Bill Torrey had been seeking, the Islanders knock off the Philadelphia Flyers in six games.
The victory justified the faith in coach Al Arbour who guided them from their second season to their first Stanley Cup seven seasons later. The Islanders would not be the first expansion team to win the Stanley Cup, but they would be the only one capable of a dynasty.
1980-81

May 21, 1981: This time it was much easier. After falling to "only" 91 points in the 1979-80 season, the Islanders returned to their division title tradition, piling up 110 points -- a whole 13 points over second-place Philadelphia.
Between the quarterfinals (where they beat the upstart Oilers in six games) and the finals, the Islanders reeled off eight consecutive wins -- with a four-game sweep of archrival Rangers in between. As they defeated the Minnesota North Stars in five games for their second Cup, their goal difference in the final was a combined +10.
1981-82

May 16, 1982: Another year, another landslide title. The Islanders won the Patrick Division by a whopping 26 points over the second-place Rangers, and were seven points clear of their nearest competition for the President's Trophy, the still-not-quite-ripe Edmonton Oilers.
A first-round scare against the Pittsburgh Penguins turned in the Isles' favor thanks to John Tonelli's heroics, and a true dynasty was on its way: Past the Rangers in six games, then an eight-game sweep of the Quebec Nordiques and Vancouver Canucks to run away with the Stanley Cup.
1982-83

May 17, 1983: Not so fast, whipper-snappers. The Edmonton Oilers' steadily rising challenge for league supremacy took them all the way to the finals for the first time, where the New York Islanders summarily dispatched them in a four-game sweep. For the Islanders, the Dynasty was secured. For the Oilers, it was a powerful lesson in where talent ends and the demands of playoff hockey begin.
Four years, four Cups, 16 consecutive playoff series wins (a record that would grow to 19 until the rematch with the Oilers the following year). Mike Bossy scored 60 goals yet again, and Wayne Gretzky became acquainted with Billy Smith's crease.
