Lighthouse Hockey, a New York Islanders community

The Isles and Rangers gave re-birth to a rivalry that has lacked meaningful games in recent years.

Former Islanders captain Alexei Yashin sat down with Lighthouse Hockey for an interview covering his new role with the Russian Women's National hockey team, the time he broke a Ranger's nose and his infamous turtlenecks.

The Islanders came out firing on all Cylinders in the first, and the rest of the game became a 200+ PIM slugfest in a 9-3 rout of the Penguins.

Why the New York Islanders - New York Rangers is the best rivalry in New York City sports.
