The New York Islanders are in Philadelphia tonight in an important match up with the Flyers. The Broad Street Bullies sit three points ahead of the Islanders and are in control of the last playoff spot. However, the Islanders have three games in hand and win tonight would greatly increase their chances of making it to the big dance.

New York Islanders Daily: Josh Bailey The Unlikely Hero

Islanders Insight's picture

No other forward for the New York Islanders has been criticized more than Josh Bailey, but he’s been proving his haters wrong this year. I’m not a Josh Bailey apologist, he’s not my favorite player, but from an honest assessment of the 2016 season he’s been the most consistent New York Islanders forward. Jeff Capellini […]

EAST MEADOW, N.Y. – Josh Bailey has been called many things during his time with the New York Islanders, but no can say he isn’t humble.

In the middle of a career year, Bailey isn’t harping on his accomplishments. But it has been hard to ignore just how important the Islanders forward has been to the team’s recent resurgence back into the playoff hunt.

New York Islanders Power Play Better Than You Thought

Islanders Insight's picture

Doug Weight has been at the helm of the New York Islanders for nine games now. In that time he’s seen the Isles pick up 14 of 18 possible points and a 5% improvement on the power play. Five percent doesn’t sound like much, but in the world of the power play efficiencies, it could […]

New York Islanders Daily: Defense Needs To Help Goalies

Islanders Insight's picture

The New York Islanders need their defenseman to help out their goalies says head coach Doug Weight. Weight is correct with his criticism. In the last three games the New York Islanders have given up five goals. The easy blame would be to throw the goalies under the bus but that’s not necessarily the most […]

Blog: Welcome To The Trade Deadline

View From Section 317's picture

It’s that time of year boys and girls. It’s when some teams begin to throw in the towel and prepare for next season. It’s also a time when teams will load up on rental players in the hopes of a long Stanley Cup run. Welcome to the trade deadline window folks. Before we get into who’s in/out and which players may go, let’s simplify the standings a bit a see who else is still in the playoff race. So not counting tonight’s games, I took the point pace standings after the Islanders played their 51st game and these were the results in a nutshell.

In the playoffs for the East in order: Washington (121), Columbus (114), Pittsburgh (114), Rangers (106) Montreal (103) Ottawa (98)

From here on out, unless there is a plague, you can pretty much pencil those teams in and consider them buyers.

In year’s past, we’ve seen the Islanders come alive in the second half only to fall short of a playoff spot and embody the cliche “too little too late.” And while it’s still too early to say that this year is different, it kind of feels that way.
