Islanders News: How great, is our (Danish) god

Good morning folks. Ol' Frans Nielsen got the best of us last night. As did Mike Green. We couldn't win forever, that's for sure.

Scriptures of Islanderdom

• Recaps from an overtime smiting: LHH | Newsday | Islanders | NHL.com | NY Post | NYI Skinny | Winging It in Motown
• Thomas Vanek says he turned down the Islanders 7-year, $50 million deal because of their move to Brooklyn. He probably has a bookie there or something like that (*rimshot*). Also, Nielsen felt "weird." [Staple]
• From the Red Wings website: how Fransy felt about facing his former team for the first time, and how he feels being in Detroit. [Red Wings]

Psalms from the Sound

• From the way Michael Fornabaio describes it, the Sound Tigers played a reasonably under-inspired game in their loss to Lehigh Valley. [Soundin' Off | CT Post]
• Someone named Robert Hagg (so you just know this next part is going to be shitty) plastered my beautiful boy Joshua Ho-Sang in the third period and he would not return, but Coach Thompson seemed to think he would be okay. (From either of Lehigh Valley game links).
• Ho-Sang got into character and plenty more from 'Star Wars' weekend for Bridgeport. [TSN]

League Verses (or lack thereof)

• Last Night's NHL scores.
• It was weird enough that Teddy Purcell was placed on waivers by the Kings. It's even more strange that he wasn't claimed. [Jewels from the Crown]
• Your Weekly Metro Division Snapshot, as told by All About the Jersey. [AATJ]
