Tavares back in Toronto

Mon, 23 Nov 2009 07:19:22 +0000

What looked a few days ago like it would be a triumphant return to Toronto for John Tavares has turned into something considerably different. That's what happens when a young team like the Islanders -- who went 2-0-2 during the first four games of...

Will New York Islanders Send Marty Biron to Detroit Red Wings?

Thu, 19 Nov 2009 00:28:44 +0000

I've been seeing, as of late, a lot of talk and 'rumors' about how the Wings are interested in Marty Biron of the Isles. When I first heard the rumor, I was kind of intrigued, thinking that maybe if Biron was in Hockeytown, he might do some good. But there's a lot more to the scenario of 'Biron to Hockeytown' than meets the eye. At first glance, it seems like it might be a good thing for the Wings. Their goalie situation, until lately, has been inconsistent, to say the least. Ozzy has shown us flashes of the Oz of the past, from both ends of the spectrum. Howard, though lately has shown a bit of consistency, still doesn't have me convinced. So this is why I was really weighing the possibilities of acquiring Biron. But it just wouldn't be worth it. The Wings are known for sticking with guys inside their system. God knows Osgood has stretched the good graces of management to the limits. But they are, if nothing else, loyal to [sometimes] a fault to players in their organization. Just look ...

Journeyman forward Matt Moulson finding his stride with New York Islanders

Wed, 18 Nov 2009 23:08:01 +0000

Matt Moulson Might Be the New York Islanders' Best Player

Wed, 18 Nov 2009 18:24:22 +0000

Who is the guy wearing the No. 26 for the New York Islanders you ask? That would be Matt Moulson, the 26-year-old left winger from Canada, who is second on the Islanders with 18 points in 21 games. The guy ahead of him, John Tavares, who has 19 points, is also his linemate, and the two of them have gelled into a dynamic duo on the ice. After last season, where the leading point man was defenseman Mark Streit, this season it looks like the Islanders have turned it around. But who would have thought it would be this quick. The John Tavares affect to me is like a combination of having a great scorer and a great assist man, who is able to cause defenseman to collapse on him, leaving other players open for shots. And that's where Matty Moulson steps in. After not being given much of a chance the last couple years with the Los Angeles Kings, Moulson signed a one year deal this summer with the Islanders. And he is immediately paying dividends. The Islanders resurgent goal scoring has ...

Will Goalie Rick DiPietro Save the Islanders?

Fri, 13 Nov 2009 02:32:14 +0000

The most telling Islanders statistic is 2-6. That's their overtime/loss record, meaning eight of their first 18 games have gone into extra periods, with six of them losses. That tells us a lot about the young Islanders. They're good. They're good enough to hang with most opponents for 60 minutes. They just run into problems after the end of regulation. A lot of this is a symptom of their age. Their three leading point-earners were all born after 1983. John Tavares went straight from the draft to the Isles' top line. A lot of the overtime trouble is also a symptom of coach Scott Gordon's offense. It's a relentlessly attacking style that has players converging on the net. There's not much backchecking, or defense. It's all about skaters converging on the opposing goalie. So basically, unless the Islanders get a sudden influx of experienced NHL players, or Gordon decides to alter his coaching philosophy, it's looking like the Islanders are going to continue to survive off of the charity point. ...
