New York Season Over: Exit Interviews On Teams Website....

That's it for 55-60 game preseason where frankly this team richly finished where they deserved to if not far worse without Sorokin who is one of the best goaltenders in the NHL. This team is 15 games under .500 without him & likely more.
It was as bad as projected last summer, and during the 56 games where they held off what was coming with Leddy, Eberle and only 56 games, where they went 0-12-1 vs three higher seeds which was a perfect barometer to what happened against playoff teams this year. Belmont was a joke with countless flaws, issues well hidden by Dolan's media, which will only get worse, and the shocking loss of Gillies, Bossy, and Jean Potvin to go with Randy Boyd made this an inagural nightmare on every level.

William Dufour ELC

They need every young player they can sign, and Dufour's had a great season. Forgive me for being a bit jaded but after Mapletoft, Reinhart, when they come here, produce that's the time for excitement. Jeremy Colliton was dynmatie in juniors, for now they just play out the string, and hope Bridgeport holds it's 6th seed which these players cannot participate in, unless Covid changed rules again, not one where ten seeds per NHL conference get a play-in.

Mike Bossy RIP

Updated 4/17. The painful process of another tribute section has begun here, and at the historical site for Mike Bossy.

NYIFC Notable: Prospect Site

Just to let folks know who have contacted me, was not happy with the slow loading embeded twitter profiles so removed them, and went back to the link list. All are from eliteprospects which is one-stop shopping for prospects/teams they play for with each teams league/individual websites.
Have also decided to make the cut off for prospects at age 25, which is why the days of Michael Dal Colle, Sabastian Aho, Grant Hutton, and the many late 20's/30's players are not given a link there any longer.
NYI website has them in their "In the system" section with weekly prospect reports.
As for the AHL/ECHL historical affiliates banners, I have no contact with NYI, and posted them on the site in the summer, before UBS arena unvelied it's tributes to fan groups vs their earlier concept of historical players/moments.
At this time I have not made a decision on the barely used twitter account for prospect updates. It's concept was for draft day prospect updates or just a twitter profile box. It's not meant to be active on a regular basis.

The Problem For New York:

New York Islander Fan Central | 4/06/2022 09:00:00 AM |
Nothing I did not write since March 2020, but now they are all in on this strategy, and the 8-24 record against playoff teams put NYI were they deserve to be in a sport where speed/skating/skill have improved, while NYI got even older, slower, less skilled. You pay 30 million for a guy with 10 goals in 67 games, and give Cizikas six years, Palmieri four, & Parise not to score with Bailey in career freefall who can't get off the ice, while Wahlstrom/Bellows barely play, this team richly deserves to be home for playoffs...........It's going to continue in the future....

Mike Bossy Notable/Updated 4/4/22: Home

Former National Hockey League (NHL) player Mike Bossy is still at home surrounded by his loved ones and continues his battle with cancer. This is what the family of the 65-year-old man told the TVA Sports network on Monday.
Sadly, I have changed the header to include Mike Bossy, as we all continue to hope for the best.
