Bits: Jurcina, first place, and the Bailey decision
"Headlights pointed at the dawnWe were sure we'd never see an end ... to it all." ~ "1979" Various links and sundry after last night's 5-2 win over the Avalanche at the Coliseum follow the jump. (Part of the purpose of these is for later, if you thought you remembered someone somewhere say...
Bits: More Stars-Islanders rehash, Tavares and Bailey
This is a periodic feature as time allows. (A bit late, but as Ozzy quipped, many of you are at church praying for John Tavares's recovery anyway. Or nursing Yankees hangovers, if so inclined. Or is it football? Tsk, these "other" sports.) In addition to those in our recap last night, some more...
Islanders Links: Beat the Rangers edition
I love the day after wins, because it brings out the happy in bloggers and fans. And of course I love wins over the Rangers, because it brings out "official" coverage, too. (There are actually 1,000 more reasons to love both, but they don't jibe quite as well with the convention of introducing a...
Islanders Links: Loss hangover edition
I'm traveling this weekend -- this morning I woke up, landed in a new city, changed my perspective ... but the Islanders had still lost last night. Blah. Newsy Recaps: Newsday and the Post with pretty much the same quotes. The Gordon comments about Isles players mistakenly thinking they're an...
Isles Links: Better goalies are belong to us
Even with the advent of the "loser point" -- which confounds my traditionalist sensibilities and inflates records everywhere -- with last night's loss the Maple Leafs are now said to be off to their worst start since 1990-91, which is the year the Devils drafted Scott Niedermayer with a pick that...
LHinks: Injuries, arrest, rookies and a mensch
The tools here border on dangerous for the untrained blogger (i.e. me). I was doing maintenance and reposted the Islanders of Yesteryear FanPosts as main thread stories in their own section, so I could add video and more easily archive them. Took them off the front page, but if you saw them in RSS...
Splinters: Torrent of win edition
With the Islanders laying an onslaught of wins and striking fear throughout the Eastern Conference, there's a lot of Islanders blogging to catch up on. "Onslaught" hyperbole aside, with all the talk of arena and K.C.-baiting, it's clear there is still great passion among the Islanders faithful,...
Blade Splinters: Joey, Jiggs, Josh and Mikes
Cripes, December already? Where has the time gone... Joey, You're a Star: We mentioned last week that Joey MacDonald "led the league in wins in November" (thanks for everyone who took that three-way split poll), so of course the Isles lost two and he could only share that lead by the end of the...
Around the Island: LP, DVD, Meyer IV returns
Some quick hits from around the Islanders blogs. As always, by all means add additional links in the comment section. B.D. Gallof has chased the latest spate of Lighthouse Project p.r. and reiterates from multiple sources: The Lighthouse Project is happening. Still, BlogFather and constituent...
Blade Splinters: Mad Mike rehash, Blake sad, Sill' still hurt
Yesterday, I dreaded what a sweep by the Senators could mean. Today, after a Viagrafying win, I'm greedy, dreaming of a sweep of our own. Ah, the hormonally charged life of a fan. Salt in the wound: Greg Logan reminds fans -- for the 2,362 time -- that the Islanders could have had Spezza,...
