Newsday: Greg Logan has the recap of New York's 4-2 win against Chicago on Sunday afternoon with comments from goaltender Peter Mannino and head coach Scott Gordon.

Newsday: Mr Logan had a six paragraph entry in the Islanders Newsday blog noting that Mark Streit not only passed Mike Comrie's point total that led the club in scoring last season but noted his strong defensive play and the extended minutes he and Bruno Gervais saw against Chicago. Streit for his part praised Peter Mannino's strong goaltending as the beatwriter says he know's he'll be writing more about Streit in the next few days.


NYI Fan Central Comments:

Mr Logan should be hyping up Streit for the Norris. Once again the Cablevision-owned club in Newsday received more print space Sunday, three blog entries and a live game blog while the Islanders are simply not treated as the primary hockey team in the local paper.

Jay Greenberg is allowed to travel/provide additional Ranger coverage at the Post with Larry Brooks but are only providing full time coverage for two teams?

If the Post finally has revenue to assign Mr Greenberg do extra hockey coverage it should be for the New York Islanders. He should have been sent straight to Chicago after being assigned to Montreal to provide more coverage for Martin Brodeur on Saturday or he should have been in Boston on Saturday for the New York team, then Chicago.
