  • Dom tries to broker a peace accord between the stats world and the olde tyme hockey world. We all just want the same things, man.
  • An Islanders-Rangers playoff series would be a big deal this year. [Isles Talk]
  • The below Twitter exchange is notable for a few reasons. 1. It announces the start of Islanders training camp this year; 2. It (once again) acknowledges that former big time NFL wide receiver Chad "Ochocinco" Johnson knows the Islanders exist and that they have a goalie who shares his name, although this is probably because as a member of the Montreal Alouettes, he's most likely reminded of this fact every day; and 3. It is a rare display of creativity and playfulness from the Islanders official Twitter account which is, frankly, one of the most boring in the league. I don't envy the guy(s) or girl(s) that run the account because the emotional abuse you receive in that job can't be a great environment to be funny or inventive. But stuff like this is a good reminder that social media is a goldmine for delivering quick, clever little chuckles when it's not full of strangers crawling out of the woodwork to tell you how worthless you are. Anyway, here's the tweet if you didn't see it.

  • NOT HOCKEY AND NOT SAFE FOR WORK: I wish I was as good at anything as Samuel L Jackson is a saying one maternally-carnal curse word. Here's a video of all of the times he's said it, which is a lot shorter than you think it is. [AV Club]
