So much for that new/improved NYI social media access. Not one word about Al Arbour being inducted into the Blues HOF.

Prove Me Wrong Week For New York

---

Season high ten games over, more then I ever expected. Thrilled they are here, not happy how they got there. No one cares about two goals or less in nine/ten, and a roster filled with no-scorers.

---

#NYC #NYI #isles This is prove me wrong week. Respect is earned. When you score two goals or fewer in nine of ten games it's show me time. Stop writing we are miserable/unhappy fans. Go beat the Winnipeg Jets, then Vancouver, Calgary. Beat bottom teams instead of losing to them.

#NYC #NYI #isles We have seen this forever w/New York they beat top teams and lose to bottom teams. Go beat some bad teams w/the two goals or less strategy, prove it's sustainable for rest of season with seven forwards who don't score. Do that I'll buy in to the team. (not arena)

#NYC #NYI #isles I'm asking for three wins here, Winnipeg, Vancouver, Calgary any way possible. If Edmonton even improving Seattle/Lane win will not criticize NYI. Go 3-2. (prove me wrong) Goalies/Pelech-Pulock-Schaefer have my full confidence and 77-24 doing moderate/ok.

Gazmin resigned in KHL until May 2028-see prospect site.

#NYC #NYI #isles The only real question about Bridgeport is are they moving to Hamilton? Anyone who is not asking that question is not media, and has an agenda to keep their access. The pro-Belmont bloggers won't go near it.

Isiah George needs to be called up, easily best option all season, he's been hurt on/off since November.

New York 9, Devils 0 Shutout Record For Sorokin? Not Yet

---

Even Cizikas scored twice. CIZIKAS. Who dog-walked the puck through Markstrom like he did Fleury in the playoffs. Duclair had a hat-trick and five points +6. And without Sorokin facing 45 shots but tons of great chances this could have been a very different game. This was not New Jersey taking shots from everywhere and racking up 45 shots from bad angles. New York took fifty once and were shutout by Pens.

---

---

At the end NY wanted to sit back at 6-0 Devils pressed and everything they threw at Markstrom hit the corners or went through him in the name of Jim Bennington/ Joey Daccord this season.

---

---

Some nights it makes no sense. Enjoy, it can't be another nine games with two or less goals. Whoever has to produce if they are serious about playoffs. One game does not change nine goals/eighteen games. This is what Duclair was signed for, and why I wanted him on his team. It can't be one game.

Hear from the #Isles after tonight's win!

#NYC #NYI #isles Ultimately I think Devils went with the strategy NY can't score more then two goals, let's play for a 5-6 goal game, but when NY got three goals Devils were forced to open up more but were giving up chances to get them, and everything NY got went in.

#NYC #NYI #Isles Nice Sorokin set a record, not a big deal to me. The era Chico/Smitty did this it was much tougher to record a shutout with less goalie equipment, smaller players, tons of more open ice. Higher scoring games in general.

— New York Islander Fan Central (@NYIFANCENTRAL) January 7, 2026

#NYC #NYI #isles Don't tell anyone Chico/Smitty both have 27 shutouts, Sorokin has 26. Gotta count those playoffs folks. Chico in 75-76 (seven shutouts) had a .928 save percentage in 44 games/2.08 GAA great numbers for 2025-26. Incredible. Dolan's guy Hornick had usual off night.

Sorokin IN-Horvat-OUT-Schaefer-IN

---

That's the menu as New York prepares for Devils who no doubt with Hughes back remembers that Markstrom turnover to steal a win. We know the math, this team has to reach 3-4 goals or they are not going to stay only eight over, when goal this ssn has to be 15+ over. 17/22 wearing white after Tuesday.

---

---

7-64-49/27-13-51 would make for two lines without 44-29-53. 11-14-10 would make another line without them.

Hear from Matthew Schaefer, Emil Heineman, and Mathew Barzal, Ilya Sorokin, and Patrick Roy ahead of tonight's game vs New Jersey.
