Islanders things

  • This patch, spotted by a couple of eagle-eyed fans, could be the Islanders inaugural Barclays Season patch.

  • Puck Daddy's NHL A to Z series comes around to the Islanders, and the entry was written by 7th Woman Dee Karl.
  • The Hockey News has John Tavares as the NHL's sixth best player. Dentists offices across Canada have The Hockey News as their sixth most read magazine. [IPB]
  • The Missouri Mavericks have signed defensemen Patrick Cullity and Wes Cunningham, who spent a few games with the Sound Tigers last season. [Mavs]
