I see there's no 2021 NYI thread here, so I created one.

Were taking up where we left off last year. I loved the way the team came together last year. If they could just add another big scorer was the only thing I thought we really needed that I remember.
I love this physical team and there tenacious forechecking. It's like watching defense in football to me. I am really excited about this team this season.
And opening the season with a shutout victory over the Rangers, what could be better than that.

Varlomov with the shut out vs Boston today, 1-0 victory. 2 games 2 shutouts. That was some tough game vs Boston. Varlomov is a rock. I love watching him play.

Islanders beat Buffalo again tonight... 5-0-3 in their last eight games. I've been taping the Isles games off the hockey channel. It's the only way I get to see them down here in Maryland, except when they play the Caps. I've been watching this streak. Hope this streak lasts the rest of the season. HaHa. But all 4 lines of the Isles are dangerous and Varlomov is as solid as a rock. And I've been waiting to see their 2nd goalie Sorokin ( hope I got his name right) play and see if they could win. Didn't think Trots had confidence in him. but he beat Buffalo in the 2nd game of the back to back 3-0. Another shutout, the Isles are a tough out every night. Every game is like a playoff game type style. But that's Trots thats why he is 3rd or 4th in all time wins. Love watching this team. It only took 35 years to come back strong from their Championship teams.

As good as the Isles are this season to me it looks like Boston and Pittsburgh are just a little better teams. Tampa imo is still the team to beat.

Varly is back on track!! Isles beat the Devils 2-1 The Isles with that forechecking and playoff defensive style has a grand total of 1 goal in the last 2 games. I am so glad they finally beat Pittsburgh. They have played them so tough but were just unable to get a victory. We had the same trouble with Boston in their first 2 meetings. Pittsburgh and Boston are 2 very good teams we need to overcome. And we can.

I've been watching replays of that goal all day. Absolutely amazing ! Barzal is a one man highlight reel. Between his speed and athleticism he makes things happen every time he touches the puck.

I love this streak the Isles have been on. I am knocking on wood that they are actually scoring more than 2-3 goals a game. Plus beating both Pittsburgh and Boston. The win over Pittsburgh was so gratifying. We need to beat those guys.
Both goalies look sharp. I think the Isles have the best defense in the league. Yes I said that Tampa Bay.

And another win against the Sabres today.. I got to watch the game today. The Isles were in control the whole game. But Buffalo did give us a scare with those 2 quick goals early in the 3rd period. Once Clutterbuck made the steal and got their 4th goal. We were in charge again. That's 5 wins in a row. And I'm not sure how many straight without a loss somewhere between 8-10. Beating buffalo 3 times this year all by the same score 5-2. Were going to need to beat these teams were suppose to beat. Boston and Pitt falling behind but here come the Caps. Both goalies look strong which is important in this shortened season with so many back to back games on the schedule. Lee is a stud at 240lbs in front of the net. They can't move him out. I'm an old timer he reminds me so much of Phil Esposito a great scorer for Boston and the Rangers, a HOF. After this game I watched the USA beat Canada in the junior hockey championship 2-0. A great win. I'm hockeyed out for today.
