What Will Get the Islanders Over The Hump?

by Leslie Monteiro - 0

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. They finally advanced past the first round for the first time since 1993. This is another step in their playoff development. Advancing to the Eastern Conference

Like The Islanders, Tavares Goes Down Meekly

by Leslie Monteiro - 0

This isn’t surprising the Islanders lost in their elimination game yesterday. What’s surprising is the way the Islanders and John Tavares played. They both laid down. There was no fight by both of them in the Islanders’ 4-0 loss to the Lightning in the Eastern Conference semifinals yesterday afternoon at Amalie Arena.

Reality is Setting in for the Islanders

It was déjà vu all over again for the Islanders. Just like Game 3, the Islanders had a victory snatched from the Lightning when Nikita Kucherov (who else!) tied the game in the third period of Game 4 last night. Just like Game 3, the Islanders lost in overtime last night

The Islanders Will Bounce Back

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

Blame This Blown Opportunity on Greiss

38.4 seconds left. That was how much time was left in regulation. That was how close the Islanders were to a victory. That was how close the Islanders were to take a series lead against the Lightning. Then, Nikita Kucherov fired a slap shot that Islanders goaltender Thomas Greiss had no chance

These Islanders Are Set To Make Their Mark

Leslie Monteiro explores what makes the Islanders tick. It’s been a long time. It’s been a long time since the Islanders hoisted Lord Stanley. It was once a birthright when the Islanders would parade the ice with the Cup and have a parade of their own in Long Island back when they

Islanders Punch Lightning In The Mouth and Take Game One

Leslie Monteiro liked what he saw from the underrated New York Islanders. The Tampa Bay Lightning found out the hard way that they are not playing the Red Wings anymore. They realized they are playing a team that is better defensively and offensively in the Islanders after last night. They also found

Why not The Islanders?

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

Finest Hour For Greiss

by Russ_Cohen - 0

Leslie Monteiro does a great job talking about Thomas Greiss and his impact on the Islanders. Alan Quine was the hero of last night’s game 5 for scoring the game-winning goal for the Islanders. Make no mistake, though. The Islanders do not win this game without Thomas Greiss’ excellent play in net. Greiss

Islanders Party Like it’s 1993

by Russ_Cohen - 0

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
