Rangers 4 (EN), Islanders 2: Mistakes Cost You.
Martin Biron made the early saves he needed to, Evgeni Nabokov missed a few that would have helped, and two Islanders mistakes were the margin of defeat as the New York Islanders fell to the New York Rangers 4-2 at Madison Square Garden. GS | ES | H2H | Shifts | Corsi | Zones | Recaps: NHL | ...
Recap - Islanders 4 (EN), Rangers 2: Evgeni Nabokov a Winner, John Tavares a Franchise
John Tavares was everywhere. We would say this even if he didn't slip a backhand empty-netter for the hat trick, or even if he didn't put the game-winner in on a brilliant tip by a brilliant slap-pass from Mark Streit. The Rangers stood in the way, impeded progress, knocked him down, but he'd get...
Islanders Gameday: Evgeni Nabokov's 1st Battle of New York
The Short Island Smurfs visit for their first post-Europe game without Marc Staal, without Michael Sauer, and with young Michael Del Zotto and Tim Erixon joining Jeff Woywitka on a blueline that is much more inspiring when healthy. Their offense and powerplay haven't clicked yet, Brad Richards and...
Rangers 6, Islanders 3: Well, so much for that
The Islanders were dominated up and down throughout the opening 20 minutes, and yet the scoring chances they did have were dangerous enough to require fantastic Henrik Lundqvist saves to preserve a Rangers 2-0 lead. That gave a small hint that the Isles, as has been a pattern during their slow...
Islanders Gameday: Derby Day has McCabe in the wrong colors
Jack Capuano is a swell guy because he's going to start Al Montoya against the team that drafted him -- well I mean he all but had to, right? Not that the Isles have gone with anyone else lately, starting Montoya six consecutive times on a 4-0-2 run. (4-0-3 for the team, when counting Nathan...
Islanders Gameday: Battle of New York, Episode IV
Maybe if I repeat it enough, it will come true: Some day this rivalry is going to feature two good teams. For tonight, we'll have to settle for two flawed teams playing well as of late. With last night's snowed-in win the Islanders are on this 4-0-1 run, which is better even than that...
Rangers 6, Islanders 5: Chaos, goals, entertainment, defeat
The Islanders very nearly lost this one with an awful first period, coming out sluggish, losing seemingly every puck battle and letting the Rangers hem them in their own zone for agonizingly long stretches. That inevitably led to a 2-0 Rangers lead, but Zenon Konopka knocked a rebound out of the...
Islanders Gameday: Stakes of pride as Battle of NY resumes
The Islanders' chances of clawing back into the very broad playoff bubble are not salvageable without a near-miraculous run to counteract their awful November. But even setting ambitions considerably and appropriately lower, the Islanders can't hope to get out of the league basement anytime soon...
Islanders-Rangers: The Best Rivalry In New York Sports
Far and away, the best rivalry in New York sports (before any Buffalo fans message me, I'm talking city) is far and away the Islanders and the Rangers. The fact that the Islanders and Rangers are in the same division/conference makes all the difference in the world. Unlike the other rivalries in...
Last 3-0 Series Comeback: The 1975 New York Islanders
With two teams trailing 3-0 in NHL conference semifinal series (a disappointing contrast to the first round), the 1975 New York Islanders will get their share of mentions for the next few days until the Red Wings and Flyers are officially put out to pasture. Those spunky Islanders, in their third...
