The Islanders followed their home opener OT loss with a miserably flat performance in Chicago. So now it's Sunday.
Islanders Reads
- The Isles, they didn't do so good Saturday night in J-F Berube's NHL debut. [LHH | Newsday | Second City]
- Win, lose or shootout, the 30-save performance was still a big deal for Berube. [Newsday]
- However, elsewhere in the pipeline there were good things: Chris Gibson shined in the Sound Tigers opener | Eamon MacAdam and Penn State over Canisius |
- But let's talk about the early reviews of Barclays, where fans found lots to gripe about. [NYT | ESPN | SI | Business Insider |
- The Nets are supportive though, maybe. [NBA]
- John Tavares is the 5th-most important NHLer according to Sportsnet's Most Important Scale. [Sportsnet]
- Kyle Okposo seems unconcerned about his contract situation. [Newsday]
Beyond All That
- Hockey history: Brampton plays Team India. [HEOTP]
- The Hawks still want to improve their D, it seems, so Pokka and Strait(please?) aren't the answer. [Second City]

Dan Boyle was a roadie for Faith No More. Neither is in their prime. [Puck Daddy]
