Isles Bits: Coliseum Vote Talk, Love for Wang, Decision for Gregoire
For NHL observers, it's tough to separate the current trio of non-playoff stories that are: Glendale ponying up another $25 million just to cover Phoenix Coyotes losses (and hope to keep the team), Atlanta Spirit Group doing what it can to shed its sports arena properties ASAP, and Nassau County...
Playoff Pick 'em: Grumpy Old Goalies in Islanders South Saga
As Keith noted in the morning links, Nino Niederreiter's Portland Winterhawks are done, falling short in the WHL final. Which means Nino may have played his last junior game. A disappointing camp or unexpected Islanders forward depth is likely all that could change that. Closer to home, Casey...
Bridgeport and Prospect Roundup 3/13
This week was a microcosm of the SoundTigers season wrapped up quite easily in 3 games. On Wednesday they went into the third period against Albany with a 4-1 lead, only to give up 4 goals to Chad Wiseman. To make matters even worse, Wiseman started the game with only 6 goals in 30 games. On Friday...
Bridgeport and Prospect Roundup 3/7
Another tough week for the Sound Tigers. After playing one of the best teams in the AHL, Hershey, just as well as anyone could expect and losing 3-2, they lost the next two games while being outscored 14-3. Against Hershey recent NHL callup Justin DiBenedetto [David Ullstrom, Jon Landry] was named...
Bridgeport and Prospect Roundup 2/27
After the last few weeks of struggling, a 2-2 week for the SoundTigers looks pretty good. Justin DiBenedetto, David Ullstrom, Mikko Kosikinen and Rhett Rakhshani all had strong performances this week. The one worry is that Mikko might get overworked, as he started every game this week. Joel Martin...
Bridgeport and Prospect Roundup 2/20
The good in Bridgeport: Justin DiBenedetto continues on his hot streak, David Ullstrom scores 3 goals in 2 games after being held without a goal since December 18th and Mikko Koskinen had a strong game to get BP it's first non-regulation loss in a while. The Bad: They were outshot 64-42 in two...
Bridgeport and Prospect Roundup 2/14
Three games up and three games down as the wheels continue to come off in Bridgeport. There's not much that can be done to salvage their season as they are 15 points out of the playoffs. They are also on a 9 game losing (all regulation) streak and are 1-9 in their last ten. For those worried that...
Bridgeport and Prospect Roundup 2/6
I normally try to start this out with some good news, no matter how tough it is. This week it's the emergence of Justin DiBenedetto. He currently has 7 goals in his last 7 games, after beginning January with just 3 points total. With 11 goals he's tied for second on the team with Robin Figren and...
Bridgeport and Prospect Roundup 1/30
Despite dropping their fourth straight game this week, the Bridgeport Sound Tigers had a good week. All three games were one goal games (including one empty netter). Justin DiBenedetto was named 2nd star with a 2 goal performance against Albany in a 6-4 loss. DiBenedetto's goals were assisted by Ty...
Bridgeport and Prospect Roundup 1/24

Of the 30 players on the Islanders roster, 20 of them have spent time in Bridgeport during their career. Also young Zdeno Chara is taking up primo real estate place on the AHL website...
