Islanders News: Promos, hype and angst
It’s August and news may be slow, but that won’t stop us from fretting. We can always fret. Islanders News Eslewhere
Islanders Anxiety Special – Summer Surprise
Mike and Dan reconvene after some family time to talk about the Islanders third jersey design contest and an article at The Athletic. After 80,000 submissions, a fan-designed jersey has been chosen for the Islanders to wear in the 2027-28 season. The contest was the brainchild of the Islanders Lord Business himself, Kelly Cheeseman, who […]
Islanders News: Navy and light(house)
It wasn’t Mat Barzal’s top choice, but he’ll have to wear it anyway because we said so. The Islanders’ attempt to fill the quiet summer month of August with something succeeded with the announcement that the navy blue design with the old lighthouse shoulder patch logo is their third jersey for the season after next. […]
Islanders News: More prospect rankings, less Da Beauty
As things stand now, in mid-August…do you see the 2026-27 Islanders as a playoff team? Personally, I do not. Or rather, they’re a bubble team at best. A couple guys’ return to health might help, but it also might take a while for Kyle Palmieri and Alex Romanov to truly get back up to speed. […]
Islanders News: Summer review and prospect preview
The NHL’s annual summer team-by-team look has now rolled around to the Islanders. I’m not linking the fantasy outlook, but here are their posts about the non-fantasy team and prospects: Elsewhere
Islanders News: Of Fishermen and the Whale
Another good morning (Rick!), afternoon or evening from our quiet summer where the Islanders added Matias Maccelli and subtracted Anders Lee, leaving us to view the return from season-ending injuries of Alex Romanov and Kyle Palmieri as the proverbial “like a new signing.” Islanders & Isles-Adjacent News Elsewhere
Look what you did: Islanders 3rd jersey finalists vote
Well, well, well, if it isn’t the consequences of your own actions. The Islanders have shared the eight finalists for the third-jersey vote, selecting variations that were submitted by fans according to templates that were probably always going to point in this direction. Still, it gives us something to talk about and debate in early […]
Islanders News: Eklund’s bid, Schaefer’s ranking, Alexei’s turtle(neck)
Is just me, or has this summer been slower than last? Am I just getting old, tied up by work, distracted by Neuenschwanders? Or maybe last summer was more exciting because of the turnover in management and the anticipation of the unknown. (Plus, the Dobson Wars…{shudder}…but those have not subsided and are as intense and […]
Islanders News: Gold in, Palmieri and Ledecky look ahead
The “32 in 32” series has begun at the Official NHL site, so it must be August and we must be inching forward in the offseason. With a shorter preseason and training camp — but 84 games now…yay?! — the summer will have an even longer slow window. Still, some Islanders (and ex-Islanders) bits from […]
Islanders News: Malte muscle, Ilya reflections, prospect puffery
The calendar has flipped to August but there’s still not a ton going on in the hockey world. One exception is the World Junior Summer Showcase, which just included a week of showcasing roster candidates from four countries for this winter’s WJC. Islanders News Elsewhere
Islanders Offseason News: Arbitration book closed
The NHL’s arbitration hearing window is coming to an end, and alas we’ve been robbed of the theater that would be a…Alex Jefferies arbitration hearing. The Isles this week officially announced a one-year, two-way deal with their lone arbitration filing, a player many do not think of and certainly not one whose record (zero NHL […]
Islanders & NHL News: Offseason review, arbitration dodging
Summer meanders onward, but we are overdue for a fresh thread! Here’s some recent(ish) NHL and Isles links… Islanders News Elsewhere
Islanders News: NHL 2026-27 schedule released
The NHL has released its regular season schedule for 2026-27, a key step for arguing with friends and ticket-sharers over who gets what game and which ones will be season-ending losses. The Islanders open in Toronto, a meeting of the two most recent first-overall picks. The home opener follows on Saturday, Oct. 3, vs. the […]
Islanders & NHL News: Meet the new guy
The Islanders and NHL offseason news has generally slowed to a crawl, but their former captain had his formal introduction to Salt Lake City media, and we have salary arbitration dates for those who’ve filed around the league. So there’s that. Islanders News Elsewhere
Islanders News: Design our jersey well or we’ll shoot this dog
It’s mid July, free agency has settled down…how do we get something on the radar? I got an idea and it’s only as fish-sticky as you make it… Islanders News In a move that would’ve invited infinite scorn during the Blog Box era, and now only invites…well, scorn but also satire and shrugs, the Islanders […]
Islanders & NHL News: Transition period
The NHL is trying to settle into its brief mid-summer quiet period, but there are major names still out there (trade requests) and arbitration hearing season is also around the corner. In the post-July 1 dust-settling, Elliotte Friedman’s latest 32 Thoughts podcast made waves among several fanbases (15 minutes on the Ducks losing control, the […]
Islanders & NHL News: Arbitration filings and trade rumors
The U.S. Independence Day has passed, regular 9-to-5, Monday-to-Friday schleps return to work, and the seven-day clock on the Flyers’ offer sheet to Leo Carlsson continues to count down. (Also, in the World Cup, the U.S. Men’s National Team continues their run vs. Belgium after England devastated Mexico in Mexico City, then resumed their abuse […]
Islanders & NHL News: DeBoer reflects, Flyers drop bombshell
The Philadelphia Flyers have single-handedly altered the league’s salary landscape by RFA offersheeting a 21-year-old to make him the league’s highest-paid player at $18 million a year. That’s great for them and all, as hoped-to-be-franchise centers like Leo Carlsson are painfully difficult to aquire, but hot damn did they just burn through the rest of […]
Islanders Anxiety – Episode 378 – Two Different Things Going On
Mike and Dan examine the newest Islanders and the plan going forward, say goodbye to those who left via free agency – especially former captain Anders Lee – and wrap up their 10th podcast season. Islanders GM Mathieu Darche made some smart, short-term pick ups on the first day of free agency, signing winger Matias […]
Islanders Free Agency News: Anders Lee to Utah, Darche talks 2027-28
The Islanders made a few depth signings on the first day of free agency, and evidently, one was to replace the departing Max Shabanov, who very understandably chose not to return. But the big splash (or unsplash?) was the confirmation that captain Anders Lee was exiting after 923 regular season plus another 46 playoff games […]
Islanders Free Agency Day News: Farewell to arms
Today could be the day the Islanders and captain Anders Lee say goodbye after 14 seasons and 923 games together. Lee will turn 36 in a couple of days, so while both parties would like to continue their relationship under the right conditions, there is apparent disagreement over term or rate and what not. Such […]

It’s the end of June, July beckons. Do you know where your prospects are? How about your free agents? Islanders News Elsewhere
Islanders Anxiety – Episode 377 – On a Slower Timeline
Mike and Dan recap the Islanders picks in the 2026 NHL Entry Draft, look ahead to a shallow free agency pool and bring forth a new, delusional Master Leaf Theatre. The Islanders didn’t make any big splashes in Buffalo but didn’t come away as one of the draft’s big losers, either. By focusing on defensemen […]
