Islanders stuff

  • Recaps: LHH | Newsday | Daily News | NY Post | Islanders | NHL.com | NYI Skinny
  • In an article about the popularity of the black and white jerseys, Brett Yormark admits that the color scheme is the brainchild of Jay-Z and the Barclays marketing department. [NY Times]
  • There are a lot of bugs right now, but give Barclays Center and the Islanders time to work them out. [Rant Sports]
  • John Tavares is a fan of the 3-on-3 OT so far. [The AP]
  • Knew I forgot something: Bridgeport beat Hartford 1-0 on Sunday, its second shutout of the weekend. Clearly, Ryan Strome is a defensive genius. [CT Post | Soundin' Off on some rough stuff]
  • Joshua Ho-Sang had three assists in Niagara's win on Saturday night and is on quite a hot streak right now with 15 points in eight games. [St. Catharine's Standard]
  • That Bob McKenzie article must have really hit home for Michael Dal Colle, who scored another couple of goals yesterday as Oshawa lost to Flint in a shootout. Dal Colle has 10 points in his last four games. [Durham Region]
  • After the game, unrelated to Dal Colle or the Islanders, the Flint players staged a revolt against management over some ownership nepotism. Winging It In Motown has some details. Yahoo.ca, too. Wild stuff.
