The World Cup resumes, and perhaps concludes, with Game 2 of the final tonight.

Meanwhile, some readings:

• They always do this, but still: Dennis Seidenberg is your newest Islander-signed-as-veteran-depth-during-camp. One year, $1 million. [LHH | Isles]
• No but seriously, they always do this. With Ryan Pulock’s promotion and youngsters behind him, we should’ve seen it coming. [Newsday]

• The Islanders also made their first cuts of training camp, with Parker Wotherspoon, Mitchell Vande Sompel, and David Quenneville headed back to their Canadian junior teams. [LHH]
• Arthur Staple likes pain*, so he’s added a mailbag to the Islanders coverage at Newsday. This one talks about the goalies, John Tavares’ next contract, prospects and such. [Newsday] *Statement not verified, use for entertainment purposes only.
