The Islanders beat the Bruins in OT!! It’s always sweeter when beating a team from Boston! This was one tough game. A sweet win. I didn't feel confident during the shootout but was very pleased with the result. Now what's that 6 or 7 straight wins ? And 9 games without a loss ? I really love this team, they just keep rolling on. Rolling on like a runaway locomotive.

During his press conference with the ESPN boss and the media, Commissioner Gary Bettman revealed that this revenue hole will require four more years of a flat cap — or near flat, meaning maybe a million or so dollars in growth. ... The salary cap will be a flat cap or near flat cap for the next four years
Fyi if you some have not heard - wow, thought 3 years was long. Now it’s 4

Lee placed on long-term injured reserve by Islanders Anders Lee was placed on long-term injured reserve retroactive to March 11 by the New York Islanders on Sunday. The move comes after the forward sustained a lower-body injury following a collision with New Jersey Devils forward Pavel Zacha in the first period of a 5-3 win on Thursday. www.nhl.com/news/anders-lee-injury-update/c-322428430

Kiefer Belleveau replaced our Captain Anders Lee and has scored 4 goals in 2 games. Kiefer is the son of Brian Belleveau one heck of a hockey player. the dad was a big time scorer.
The Isles won Sunday Sunday over the Devils in OT to make it 9 straight wins. But the Devils were robbed in this game scoring 2 goals that didn't count by a penalty and an off side. Both calls by a hair. Isn't this the way it goes for bad teams and the good team gets the break.
The Isles swept all 3 games from N.J. this week. Every game was a tough victory.
The Isles are probably the best team in the league this last month. To me there are 7-8 elite teams and the Isles have to be in the top 3-4. The Caps are right behind us in our division they are playing really tough hockey. Tampa, Fla, Carolina are all beasts. Toronto looks like a machine. Vegas is right up there but I haven't watched them there on too late.

What do you guys think the Isles will do at the trade deadline? I'm not sure I'm always rooting for another scorer. But I'm not sure if I want to lose anybody in this starting lineup. I love both goalies as well. Not sure the Isles will be active at all.

What do you guys think the Isles will do at the trade deadline? By putting Lee on LTIR frees up 7,000,000 in cap space. It also depends on how well Bellows does with his opportunity. In Lou I Trust!!

Isles lose to Caps. Isles played tough but were outplayed by Caps. Cap goalie played a great game.
The winning streak ends at 9 games. Caps ties us in pts with this win.
I think we need to rest some of these players once in awhile. All 6 of our defensemen have played every game. Most of our forwards as well.

Anders Lee, for the season. Damn, I didn't know he was out for the season. Now they have to make a move for a scorer. I believe they have till April 19th. This is a big loss. Gonna have to give up some real good players to get a big time scorer especially when other teams know were desperate. Boy does this hurt their chances in the playoffs.

This was a great come from behind win for the Isles. The Bruins played one tough game. Boy did these teams skate last night. Down 2-0 and to come back in the first minute of overtime and score the winning goal. Don't know how but I believe the Isles are 5-0 vs the Bruins this season. Won the first 4 in NY. Now the next 4 in Boston. So 1 down 3 more to go for the sweep. Unbelievable.
The Isles have allowed the least goals in the 3rd period out of all 30 teams. Guess thats a sign they're stronger in the 3rd than most if not all.

The greatest thing this organization has done in recent memory was hire Trotz. The guy is a winner and knows how to turn shit into gold.

I love the players on this team too.
Barzal, Lee, Beauvillier, Pageau, Cizikas, Eberly, Clutterbuck, Leddy, Bailey, Pullock, Pelech...
And of course my new favorite 20 year old, Wahlstrom. Kid can play. Did you see the highlight of his when he was 9 scoring a goal? Ironically in Boston.

These wins are so important only 17 more games in this shortened season.
I believe were going to have to go get an offensive guy. on the Hockey channel I hear rumors of Fierigno (pardon the spelling) the captain of the Rockies. A tough Center/forward.
He would fit into Trots team. A scorer that plays both ways. A leadership guy heck he's a ream captain. It would be a breath of fresh air for him to play for the Cup.
Were going to need somebody to help this team beat Pittsburgh and Washington.

Damn losing a tough one to the Caps. Valamov played one hell of a game.
I just don't like the way the offense has been playing. We had a 6 goal game vs the Flyers but beside that we can't score more than 1 or 2 goals a game.
The Isles are already in playoff hockey mode. HaHa they have been all year.
Only 8 or 9 games left.
Winning division makes playoff rd 1 much easier imo. !st place team gets Philly, 2nd place team gets Pitt. The Caps , isles, and Pitt are like 2-3 points apart.
If playoff started today Caps get Philly, We would get Pitt. this would be one tough physical series could go 7 games. Caps would be resting and waiting for the winner. Caps should win in 5 or 6 at most over Philly.

Going to be tough to knock them out in the playoffs if they meet. If the Isles make it to the cup it would be due to their goaltending.

I love their defense and forechecking. Valamov might have had less saves than the Caps goalie but he had harder saves and the Isles defense had like twice as many blocks as the Caps defense. We did get that 1 point.
