Islanders Preseason Gameday News: The vets get a turn
The Islanders have more of that hot preseason action tonight, visiting the Worlds Most Self-Congratulatory Arena. After tonight vs. the Rangers, the preseason schedule will be half over (mercy!) and we will be just a week away from the actual season. Islanders News The expected combos tonight: Pete DeBoer on reading too much into any […]
Islanders Anxiety – Episode 379 – Promo Code: “Barzal Thriving”
Mike and Dan return for Season 11 to run through some summer news on and off the ice, the Islanders’ first preseason game and their super specific predictions for the season. From the outside, it didn’t look like the Islanders did much this offseason. But sickos like us know that’s not the case. There’s a […]
Islanders Preseason News: Kids’ first look
The Islanders opened the preseason schedule Sunday afternoon vs. the Devils with a lineup largely made of prospects and AHLers who mostly know they will not make the opening roster. But Cal Ritchie — the only NHL regular from last year — and Victor Eklund impressed Pete DeBoer, according to his post-game scrum, and Cole […]
Islanders Preseason Kickoff: Returns, rehabs and reruns
The Islanders opened the 2026-27 training camp with some primarily familiar faces, though a few notable ones have not been seen on the ice in a while. As they got their bearings and prepared for Sunday afternoon’s preseason opener vs. the Devils, there was lots to catch up on. The Returning Injured Guys Islanders Camp […]
Islanders Training Camp News: Barzal health watch
The Islanders open training camp — which are now shorter than past camps per the new CBA — with news that Mathew Barzal will not skate for all of it “due to aggravation of a prior injury that has caused some inflammation.” So we are starting the season with Barzal out, and on Health Watch. […]
Islanders News: Bo knows captains
The Islanders prospect camp’s second scrimmage agains their Devils counterparts ended in a shootout loss. Cole Eiserman netted another off a feed from Victor Eklund again. Now the real (OK, still pretend, but a little more real) fun begins. Islanders News Elsewhere
Islanders News: Baby scrimmage
The Islanders prospects got to hit the ice for some competition against their youthful Devils counterparts, coming away with an overtime win. The return leg is on Tuesday. Cole Eiserman (tying goal and OT winner), Daniil Prokhorov (also two goals) and Victor Eklund accounted for the Baby Isles’ five goals, as well they should as […]
Islanders News: Rookie camp begins
We’ve got action! Painted ice! Players in official practice uniforms — many of whom with names you know! With the Islanders’ rookie camp officially underway, the season really is just around the corner. It’s been a long wait. Islanders News The official site spoke with Eiserman, 2026 draftee Vladimir Dravecky of Slovakia (and longtime friend […]
Islanders News: The kids are here
Rookie camp is here! The Islanders’ top prospects, ECHL fodder and camp filler will get things started ahead of a couple of scrimmages against their New Jersey counterparts on Sept. 13 and 15. Tickets are still available for that scrimmage at Northwell on the 15th. Elsewhere
Islanders News: Eyes on Eklund, Schaefer
The NHL’s North America media tour has begun (the Europe one was late last month), so expect a trickle of quotes and headlines to come as teams get ready for training camps beginning in one week. Islanders News Elsewhere
Islanders News: Eyes on Eiserman, Gold
Not a lot of “news” fodder coming out of a long holiday weekend in the U.S., but Labor Day is behind us and training camp is now on the horizon. Islanders News Elsewhere
Islanders News: Labor Day pause
No real news as the U.S. celebrates a three-day Labor Day weekend, but here are a few recent links to pause and get a fresh thread up amid our preseason questions series. Islanders News Elsewhere
Islanders 2026-27 Questions: Can Palmieri, Romanov, Varlamov return to form?
In 2004, shortly after pulling off the first undefeated season that top-tier English soccer had seen in over a century, the London club Arsenal began an austerity period where they put a lid on player acquisition spending while they paid off a new stadium they were building. (Self-funded stadiums? A very foreign concept to American […]
Islanders 2026-27 Questions: Can Ilya Sorokin do it (and sustain it) again?
The New York Islanders did not make the playoffs in 2025-26, but if they had, it would’ve been largely thanks to goaltender Ilya Sorokin. As the Isles held a playoff position for several months — with a huge assist from Calder winner Matthew Schaefer, of course — this flawed team was enjoying a bounce-back, Vezina-contending […]
Islanders News: Barzal’s summer, Malte’s choice
Holy cow it’s September! The North American media tour and shortened training camps are still a few weeks away, but we are getting there. Close enough to revisit some offseason and lingering questions. Of course, all Key Questions fall under the ultimate umbrella questions of 1) Can the Islanders make the playoffs? and 2) Will […]

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 […]
