Wild Ride (CLT)
I sit here in Charlotte a week after the Islanders were swept and I can't stop thinking about the amazing season we had as fans.

Rather than focus on the bad, which is quite obvious, I'm going to focus on the good that came out of this. First, this year was truly amazing in the sense it brought hope to this franchise … Continue reading And so it ends….

As we all know, the internet, much like the NHL Playoffs, can get out of hand from time to time. And so much like the NHL Playoffs, I'm here to start the Internet handshake line.

Last night the Isles Meetup LI crew made their way to Oyster Bay Brewing to hang out and enjoy some Barn Rocker with the Blue and Orange Army. It was a night full … Continue reading Sweep from Oyster Bay Brewing Company
#YesYesYes that’s a sweep baby!
Must’ve been that bad ice, eh? Though the Islanders once again didn’t strike first, they were able to end the game with a nice little bow. While the Penguins were busy flopping on defense, Eberle was showing us what it means to be in playoff mode. Fair, we did allow Crosby to get a point … Continue reading #YesYesYes that’s a sweep baby!

Broad Street Blitz – A Tip of the Helmet
What a weekend in Philly. I imagined the event and how it would go about 100 times in my head leading up to it, but I never thought it would be THAT perfect. From the early morning and late afternoon takeovers of The Field House bar to the generosity of the Isles fans contributing their … Continue reading Broad Street Blitz – A Tip of the Helmet
