The Lesson of Phoenix = Nix the Move Threat
by Brenna Solop So now that we’re well into the season and the Islanders are not quite great but not quite the horror show I anticipated, the talks of the team “moving” have simmered down. But it lingers there, in the background, a very real question mark especially when you consider the shaky ground of [...]
Islanders and their Fans Must Demand Respect, Not Expect It
The New York Islanders have been, for many years, the Rodney Dangerfield of the National Hockey League. Some people have worried that the franchise “don’t get any respect,” and the constant hit pieces in the press (including that pathetic piece from last year suggesting John Tavares refuse to play for the team if drafted by [...]

FOUR THINGS FOR YOU: Lighthouse Update, Willets Point Rah-Rah, Some Shady Letter Writing & The Isles Still Lose

IS THE LIGHT STILL ON? A Special Report On The Lighthouse Project
If one listened to the cacophony of voices that were left as October 3rd came and went, one would have heard shrill and concerned voices fraught with panic, anger, frustration, rumor and innuendo.

NY ISLES LIGHTHOUSE PROJECT GETS LEASE FROM COUNTY: Video From the Press Conference
Today, I went over to Mineola to be there for when Tom Suozzi announced that he and the Lighthouse Project’s Charles Wang and Scott Rechler came to a lease agreement. I expected the usual fare, with them putting the pressure onto the Town of Hempstead as the “certainty” deadline quickly approaches a mere few days [...]

Wang & Kate Plus Fate
by Brenna Solop You know that show on cable where the chick with the short, choppy blond hair and the Asian-American dude are always locking horns, and the fates of lots of children hang in the balance? No, not the one on The Learning Channel. I mean the one on News 12, the one determining [...]
