The Islanders said their good-byes to each other in what was breakup day yesterday. They are heading to the offseason with something to be proud of.

Game 3 loss was disappointing for the Islanders. They had this game won with 38.4 seconds to go until Nikita Kucherov fired a shot that landed in the net that Islanders goaltender Thomas Greiss had no chance of catching. That went to overtime, and the Islanders took a 4-3 loss

Leslie Monteiro makes a good case for the Islanders in the big game tonight. During the Islanders postgame show on MSG+ Sunday night, fans were chanting “WE WANT THE CUP!” “WE WANT THE CUP!” “WE WANT THE CUP!” in the background where Shannon Hogan and Rick DiPietro were doing the postgame

Leslie Monteiro has a great take on how the Islanders were able to advance to the second round of the Stanley Cup Playoffs. Good things come for those who wait. The Islanders and their fans waited for 23 years. 1993 was the last time the Islanders won a playoff series. The Islanders ended
