Not much additional Islanders reading since yesterday, but rest assured there shall be action tonight. The Islanders wouldn't dare lose to desert dogs on John Tavares Bobblehead Night, would they?

Leave your FIG picks for tonight here.

  • Nick Leddy will be at Sunset Park Recreation Center in Brooklyn Tuesday to teach youngsters "basic hockey fundamentals" like breaking the puck out of your own zone through sheer wizardry and logging five NHL seasons by age 24. [Isles]
  • Remember the RBK (vowels not included) era and its overhyped, over-pinstriped, mess of a redesign of all 30 teams? A new prototype of the Isles would-be uni surfaced. [LHH]
  • Reminder: Hockey Talks Brooklyn with all kinds of Isles-flavored guests is Tuesday. Tix still available.

For discussion then:

  • Despite losing to Columbus on their way to New York, the Coyotes are upending everyone's expectations. [AZ Sports]

  • Meanwhile, it seems the Penguins are in disarray after two ugly losses in the Metro. [PensBurgh | Puck Daddy]
  • Headline says a stupid Rangers fan ruined the Garden's tribute to Paris, while the article says he couldn't "ruin" it. [Daily News]
  • Larry Brooks says its cute that the NHL -- or in this case, a bunch of direct shots at the Flyers -- is worried about goalscoring when they still aren't doing enough about blind-side headshots. [Post]
