If you've followed this blog for any length of time, you likely know that I'm a fan of the infamous New York Islanders' Fisherman jersey. That's not to say that I'm not fan of the traditional Islanders jersey nor am I trying to compare the two in terms of which one is better, but I always thought the Islanders were ahead of their time when the Fisherman debuted. The fact that the jerseys lasted for just two seasons after Islanders fans demanded the team go back to the original logo didn't get ...

On Thursday night, the Edmonton Oilers couldn’t buy themselves a goal. They got shut out 1-0 by Ilya Sorokin and the New York Islanders as Connor McDavid’s 20-game point streak came to a screeching halt. There was no lack of chances, however, as the Oilers poured on 35 shots, but they just couldn’t bear down…

Some nights your goalie stands on his head and stuns an offense led by the most dangerous forward in the world, some afternoons you’re down 4-0 before the other team has gotten its 12th shot. The Islanders lost 4-2 in Calgary despite outshooting and outchancing the Flames, though still making enough mistakes to do themselves […]

I am still reeling from that Ilya Sorokin performance on Thursday in Edmonton. Ye gods, that was a masterpiece. But anyway, on to the next one. The Islanders are in Calgary for an afternoon meeting, and David Rittich will start against his former team (though as he noted, there aren’t a lot of former teammates […]

Sometimes, all you need is one. That was the case on Thursday evening in Edmonton for the visiting New York Islanders, as star goaltender Ilya Sorokin turned aside all 35 shots that the Oilers threw his way for a 1-0 victory. On a night where the Oilers did almost everything right, one mistake proved to…

After an even first period, the Edmonton Oilers really took over the game tonight and the New York Islanders looked lost. But while Connor Ingram was pretty good for the Oilers, turning away 17 of 18 shots, he was no Ilya Sorokin. Sorokin rebounded nicely from a rough night in Winnipeg, picking up his fifth […]

The Islanders’ road train is in Alberta for the end of the week, with a meeting vs. the Oilers in Edmonton on the docket. The goalie matchup looks like Ilya Sorokin opposite Connor Ingram.

Kris Knoblauch chose Connor Ingram over Calvin Pickard for tonight’s game, and the message is becoming clearer: Ingram’s earned his spot, at least for now. We all know the Edmonton Oilers can only carry three goaltenders for so long before someone has to head to Bakersfield. Tonight, the only place Pickard is going is the…

The Islanders reversed a 3-0 deficit in the second period but promptly fell behind by two in a sloppily played second period by both sides that typified their Tuesday night in Winnipeg. The result was a 5-4 regulation loss — the Isles got one back with a sixth attacker after several never-give-up efforts to prevent […]

The month of December wasn’t a great one for Winnipeg Jets’ goaltenders, as it only provided Connor Hellebuyck & Eric Comrie with one win each. Now that the calendar has flipped over to January, the masked men have already equaled that plateau before the mid-month mark.
The True North franchise is currently on their 4th multi-game winning streak of the NHL’s 2025-26 campaign, after posting victories over the Los Angeles Kings & New Jersey Devils, and will be hoping to extend that versus t...
