This is not on Isleslab website or Belmont Park Village store with all it's signed and current/future openings. Expect at best the team store inside the arena to remain open until the season is over before it's removed from the failed Belmont experiment and moved across the street. The current agreement was made by the ESD in 2019, but NYI are just tenants, and can't even use the garage to visit these brand new stores.

Same problems/same players

New York Islander Fan Central | 11/30/2024 08:50:00 AM |

When a game is on the line, this team finds a way to lose. The goaltending has been excellent, outside of the Boston game the defense has held, and I'm not holding Isiah George responcible for being outmuscled on one play, he's also played very well. Cholowski has largely been solid with Hutton.

The problems begin with the powerplay, and penalty killing both ranked 31st, and the same players who are too slow to react, backcheck, win pucks in corners, get sticks in lanes. And we are talking Cizikas, Pageau, Engvall, MacLean (who got his first vs Washington) and Dobson who is a ghost of the player he was a year ago (his shots found net/sticks every game) but now none of his shots find sticks or the net, and keeps making huge mistakes. Palmieri for every rebound inside the crease he finishes, does three things to give back goals as we saw twice in the third vs Caps, as their announcers said he got flat-footed on the 4-3 goal by Caps, or was caught on wrong side on tying goal. It's always something with those players, as Holmstrom vs Pageau out was the only difference between four goals vs one goal, as Roy plays Palmieri/Pageau like they are Bossy/Trottier, and always get beat or do things to swing the momemtum, while Lee has been better, Horvat looks largely lost, and a non-factor with Pageau as a winger.

Roy knows he's been dealt a bad hand but the shots against cut should dramatically should mean some wins for a coach who all he can do is say his team played well knowing most of the names written here are thirty point players, as Martin/Fasching also eat minutes and provide virtually no offense. I don't know if Wahlstrom is to blame but considering who he plays with I don't blame him.

Problems Not Going Away For New York

#NYC #NYI #Isles MacLean zero goals 20 games -8 with a new three year contract. Fasching five games, zero goals -1. Cizikas 20 games, one goal -2/only two points. Pageau who lives on ice 20 games, 5 goals, most fluke or slam dunks. Laura Ingalls Engvall 12 games 3 goals. Martin 9 gms zero goals.

And this is with a defense that has Grant Hutton, Cholowski with his two goals, a keeper in Isiah George currently on the backline, and both goalies not facing a ton of shots but keeping them in games until they are decided.
Bottom line they were not scoring with the injuries, and are not going to score but the defense will wear down, as we will see Mayfield's mistakes, and a forward group who in crunch time simply cannot keep up.

2023-24 vs 2024-25: Shots allowed cut by 99.........BUT

New York Islander Fan Central | 11/20/2024 01:34:00 PM |

#NYC #NYI #isles New York has 4 regulation wins in 19 games as 8th seed tied with Boston in 9th. Montreal dead last is three points behind. Every team above NY is at least four games over 500.

#NYC #NYI #isles All those podcasters/salesman and no one noticed the team defense has cut the shots against by 99, same people who were blaming Sorokin last year and all summer.

#NYC #NYI #isles New York 19 game comparison: Cuts Shots against by 99 vs last season. 2023-24 8-6-5 G 52 GA 61 SHOTS 578 ALLOWED 663 PPG 12 SHG 19 ************************************* 2024-25 7-7-5 G 50 GA 57 SHOTS 576 ALLOWED 564 PPG 7 SHG 13

The big but is start with standings, we have four real contenders in top four spots in this division vs last two years, 12 over is not a 7th seed, it's not close to a playoff spot. Think 2021-22 standings.

Five less powerplay goals vs last season.

And what's amazing is this team has cut shots allowed by 99 at the same point vs last season with these injuries on D with the goals for and against virtually the same. Thank you Sorokin last ssn.

Mike Reilly Heart Surgery/Injury Updates

New York Islander Fan Central | 11/18/2024 05:03:00 PM |

Mike Reilly will be out indefinitely as the defenseman will undergo a procedure on Tuesday to address a preexisting, but previously undiscovered heart condition, Islanders President of Hockey Ops and General Manager Lou Lamoriello announced on Monday afternoon. Lamoriello said the issue was found during routine tests after Reilly's concussion on Nov. 1 in Buffalo. The condition is unrelated to the hit, and subsequent injury, Reilly suffered in Buffalo. Lamoriello also said Reilly has been cleared from the concussion.
"It was picked up through the different echocardiograms that you do for different reasons that you go through with any post-concussion situation," Lamoriello said. While the hit was obviously scary in the moment, Lamoriello said the silver lining was finding this previously unknown issue. "It's probably a blessing in disguise of what transpired," Lamoriello added. "They detected this, something that you're sometimes born with, but never knew." While Monday's update means the Islanders will be without their defenseman for the foreseeable future, Reilly's long-term health is the priority and the 31-year-old is expected to be able to continue his hockey career after the procedure, but there is no definitive timeline for a return. "[His quality of life will be] 100% and he will be able to play once this procedure is done," Lamoriello said. "It takes quite a bit of time. It could be several months before he's back, because of the type of procedure." Reilly has three hits and four blocked shots through 11 games this season.

UPDATES ON BARZAL, DUCLAIR, PELECH AND ROMANOV

Lamoriello also provided updates on the Islanders other injured players.

Alexander Romanov is still considered day-to-day and is a "game-time decision" for Tuesday, per Head Coach Patrick Roy. Romanov skated was a full participant in his second straight practice on Monday.
Anthony Duclair has not resumed skating yet, but Lamoriello said the team hopes he'll begin skating in the near future. Duclair has been out with a lower-body injury since Oct. 19.

Mathew Barzal and Adam Pelech will begin skating as soon as they've been cleared by doctors, but no timeline has been established. Barzal has been out since Oct. 30 with an upper-body injury, while Pelech suffered an upper-body injury on Nov. 1.

Where is the angry, tough Patrick Roy with three regulation wins all season?

New York Islander Fan Central | 11/14/2024 04:51:00 AM |

He's happy after every game and elated after the three regulation wins in sixteen games, excuse me, but where is the guy hired who was screaming day one last season, and in that first game against Dallas?
Spare me the injuries, the special teams are awful again, and it's a miracle they got a 6/5 goal to even tie Edmonton. I guess the effort is there every game to be what they are, three regulation wins all season, and Dobson still looking as lost as he did since his injury last season entering the playoffs. Sorokin is back to carrying team, faced 44 shots against Edmonton, and even with George looking like someone Roy trusts, Edmonton was 7-7 entering this game.

Fire Lamoriello? This franchise is bleeding red ink, most of the dead weight all over this roster would clear waivers. 44-21-32-53-17-18. Tsyplakov, Nelson are going to re-sign to have Palmieri as his wing? Not happening, and Nelson looks slow old with Palmieri lumbering along, no incoming person is going to fix this mess until the contracts expire, Roy has years on his deal and despite junior team management can't do both jobs, and we know at best the failed Belmont experiment will be 1/2 filled with kids and that's it.

It's a miracle 12 over got them two playoff spots, it won't happen again, especially when the 20-3 shot periods really get worse.

But Roy will be happy, he won't be critical, some games you have stinkers, this team rarely has this but this is what they are.

Look out to see where Malkin, mascot Ledecky, and Collins fall with the Dolan vs Leiweke war as Msg people will replace Oakview/Leiweke/Azoff people at the failed Belmont experiment.
