ISLANDERS 2, DEVILS 0: DiPietro Earns Shutout

Finally! The 14 game skid that seemed never ending in fact ended! Let the 14 game in a row winning streak begin.

Early in the first Grabner made a nice pass to Nielsen, and the play maker made a quick feed to Joensuu for the Isles to jump on top early. Colin White placed a hit on Parenteau which was called for boarding. Gervais stepped in for his teammate but was down after two punches. Still, Gervais did the right thing by sticking up for Parenteau. He didn't let it slip.

In the third, Rob Schremp picked a corner and fired it past Hedberg. (Love his celebrations, btw!). You could tell he was happy. The Isles had many chances and that's what they need to win. They need to work on their power play though. It's good to see Sim out there in front of the net causing distraction. He almost got a goal, too.

Rick DiPietro played great, like he has been. He almost looks like he's been playing these past two years. I would of expected him to give up a few more goals since he didn't play for 18 days going into the game in Atlanta. I would expect him to start vs the Rangers. Maybe him and Roloson will split the back to back games home and home. But DiPietro should be getting most of the starts if they want him to play well. It's hard for a goalie to not get consecutive starts.

Trent Hunter had an MRI and has a grade 3 torn ACL in his knee. I looked it up and were not going to be seeing him for a while. It takes six weeks to heal. Surgery is required often.

COLUMBUS 4, ISLANDERS 3: Isles Earn Point

I have to say the Isles did play a little better tonight, actually scoring three goals. Goals for the Isles were from Hunter after Gillies got the team going with a fight, Grabner and Tavares in his 100th NHL game. Hunter left the game late in the game after hurting himself on a check. He isn't in practice this morning. Uh oh...

This is what the Isles need in their lineup: Gillies and his physical play.

DiPietro played solid as he did the game before in Atlanta. He made a nice save on Nash last night on a breakaway. He just needs more help from the defense. With Mottau, Jurcina, Hillen and Macdonald sidelined, it's hard for this team.

Hillen was practicing this morning, so that's a good sign. We'll probably see him Friday against the Devs. According to Katie Strang, Zenon Konopka wasn't at practice.

You can tell the frustrations are among the Isles locker room and not just the fans.Grabner's one of them frustrated as you can tell from what he posted last night after the defeat on his Twitter account:

"Same sh*t different day...we gotta get a win...like what the f***...at least we got a point."

For a guy that has two goals in two games, you can't blame him. Certainly can't...The big question now is: Will it go to 15? The Devs are hot after scoring 5 goals in one game on the Capitals, who are known to be one of the best teams in the league.

ISLANDERS VS COLUMBUS: BAILEY, MOTTAU OUT, HAMONIC, GILLIES IN

Make sure to stop by my live chat tonight by clicking the LIVE CHAT tab at the top of the page. I should have some guests joining me as well...It starts around 6:30.

Tonight Travis Hamonic will make his NHL debut filling in for injured Mike Mottau. He went from the WHL to begin the season in Bridgeport tallying 2 goals and 5 assists for 10 points. I would expect to see Hamonic here for a good amount of time as Mike Mottau will be out 4-6 weeks, according to Katie Strang. Capuano said that Hamonic would give the team a shot from the point as well as physical play which the Isles need at the blue line.

Also, Josh Bailey has been sent to Bridgeport on a loan. He played on the fourth line in practice aside Konopka, Martin and Gillies who probably will play tonight as a roster spot opened. If Bailey played one more NHL game, he would have to go through waivers before going to Bridgeport.

After a strong performance that kept the Isles in the game the other night in Atlanta, Rick DiPietro gets the nod between the pipes tonight.

The Isles desperately need a win tonight. But probably won't get one. Hopefully I'm wrong...

Losing Streak Continutes To 13; Howie Rose Feels Us

Yup. It continues to 13, as expected. But you got to hand it to DiPietro who hasn't played in 18 days and makes a great return. He stopped 33 out of 35 shots and kept the Isles in the game, but they failed to score more than one goal.

Nielsen threw a shot to the net and Grabner banged it in for the Isles only goal. Something really needs to be done with the offence. It's unacceptable. No more losing. We can't take it. I was talking to a classmate today, who's Dad used to be the Islanders equipment manager and the Isles were brought up. I said "I can't believe the Isles lost again". He replies "Oh did they? My Dad doesn't let me watch them. He hates that organization now. You don't even want to know the inside scoop". Well I found out the "inside scoop" and trust me you don't want to know.

The main concern last night was Mike Mottau. He was hit in the right eye with the puck and he fell to the ice gushing blood. He was able to skate and walk to an ambulance on his own, but he's still in Atlanta waiting to see a specialist according to Katie Strang. He also has swelling around the eye, as you can expect.

Well we know for sure Howie Rose feels us. When he thought MSG Plus went to commercial break, they had some technical difficulties. On air, he said "Is it spring training yet" and "Hey let me know how this game turns out, not that I care". Oops. You can't blame him!

Islanders vs Panthers Preview, Botta Situation

Join the Islanders411 message board!


Losers of 11 straight look to get their first win A MONTH..Yes, a month. The Islanders last win if I recall was last October 20th at Tampa Bay when the play was under review for about ten minutes, and the call was a goal with Matt Moulson somehow scoring after Ellis was batting it around the crease.

Here we go with the call ups since Snow doesn't want to make a trade, because it "wont help the organization down the road". Oh wait of course it will. This team has lost 11 in a row and can barely score a goal and you don't think if we acquire a decent top 6 that it's not going to help his team? Wow!

Anyway, Jesse Joensuu has been called up from Bridgeport. Jon Sim was returned. I bet this is gonna help! (sarcasm)

If Rick DiPietro doesn't start tonight, I don't know what to say. This guy needs to play a game, he didn't sign a contract to be on the bench for six straight. He's not injured as far as I know. Roli has played great this season and also last season but this loosing streak looks like it most likely isn't going to get better so why not give DP a shot?


My take on the Botta situation: The Islanders were wrong on their part. Chris Botta covered the Isles daily and that's where most fans went to see everything he provided. Just because apparently he said something negative on his blog, doesn't mean you go and pull a his credentials. How could you hold your feelings back after the team loses so many games in a row? I don't know the whole situation but it's just another fail by the Islanders organization. You loose 11 probably going on 12 tonight in a row. In the off season, you don't renew Billy Jaffe's contract, who was too negative meanwhile Goring can't even get names right. You fail to find top six talent. The best trade you made was getting Wisniewski for just a conditional draft pick...Oh wait that was your only trade, Garthie! Then, this. Pretty soon Isles fans are going to be wearing bags over their heads, and I'm not kidding. There's already been talk.

Of course you can always check here for up to date coverage of the Islanders, usually posting every day..Also make sure to check over at Islanders Hockey Blog where me and Dave write. I'll probably be having better coverage over there, just wanted to get this blog started first. It's a great blog and Christian A, the owner has credentials himself.

What Is This Organization Coming To?

With 11 straight loses, I'm starting to think if it'll go onto forever. This is absolutely horrendous now. The team did play a little better last night, I have to admit, but they're spending way too much time in their own zone. Hunter just takes random slap shots, while most of the forwards just dump the puck in and stare at it.

The goalie rotation certainly doesn't help Rick DiPietro either..At all. I thought this guy is supposed to be trying to come back into his normal shape? It's probably kinda hard for him if he doesn't play on a consistent base.

This team really needs help up front big time. Moulson and Tavares combined have fourteen goals, while all the other teammates have one, two or three. The coaching change won't do anything for this team. Do you really think Capuanos going to give Tavares the hands of Kovalchuk? No. The Islanders needed top six talent up front but they failed to do so. To resign Gillies who hasn't played over five minutes probably this season was a bad idea don't you think?

I know some of you may be thinking it was a matter of who wanted to come here or not but if the Islanders offered the right money, of course it would of attracted more players to the Island.

And I'm sick of the "moving off the Island" crap. The Islanders ARE NOT going anywhere and if they do, it's not for another few years. It's just a threat from Wang to get his lighthouse. If they were to move to say Kansas, what are they going to be called? The Kansas Islanders? Just doesn't make sense. Even if they're being forced out of the Coliseum, they're going to stay on Long Island. I just can't imagine this team somewhere else. No fan base, probably few players, no nothing...Why would they move?

All I know is..If they don't get at least a win in the next four or five games, nothings going to change and we'll be looking forward to the first overall draft pick again...With our luck we won't get it even if we finish last.

Well I guess my credentials are being taken away after this post.. Oh wait it's only the truth.. Plus I don't have any.

Isles Lose 11th Straight... Isles Pull Chris Botta's Credentials... A Plea from the Fans

The New York Islanders just lost their eleventh straight game tonight to the struggling Tampa Bay Lightning by a final score of 4-2. Yes, you read that correctly. No, your eyes are not deceiving you. I did just say, ELEVENTH STRAIGHT GAME.

This comes two days after the Islanders fired their head coach Scott Gordon. I actually do agree with Gordon's firing, because I don't believe his system is suited for the NHL, but firing Gordon basically just masks the true problem with this team. The true problem is the fact that they are not an NHL-caliber team. Their captain is on the third line and probably in his last year before retiring, their best player is 19 years old and has no support from anybody else, Trent Hunter has an 'A' on his jersey, and Bruno Gervais plays on a regular basis.

That said, the eleven game losing streak is not the most frustrating but of information to come out of Long Island today.

That distinction belongs to the blog site Islanders Point Blank being "indefinitely shut down" yesterday evening. Chris Botta, former director of Public Relations for the Islanders runs IPB and does a great job. He gave his opinion on anything Islanders-related whether people agreed with it or not. Very recently, Chris wrote some harsh posts about the firing of Gordon, and the current state of the organization. Then, on Tuesday, he posted that IPB would be shut down indefinitely and did not offer any explanation.

Well, earlier today he gave an explanation to Islandermania, a forum board for all things Islanders. His explanation is as follows.

"Hello, Islandermania.

There is an issue, which started on Tuesday morning after the franchise’s manic Monday, between the Islanders and me regarding press credentials for practice and games at the NVMC. I’m hopeful something can be worked out so I can resume attending practice and posting line combinations and the kinds of features I like to write for PB (like on Frans Nielsen) and FanHouse (most recently on Zenon Konopka). The games are important for my work on PB and on visiting teams for FanHouse.

For now, it is out of my hands. The Professional Hockey Writers Association, both the New York and national chapters, have expressed their concern about the team’s actions to the NHL. The league is investigating. I have also heard from many fans, coaches and players around the league and will get back to most of them when this is resolved one way or the other.

This certainly has nothing to do with my employers at AOL or SNY, who have been amazingly supportive. Whether this gets mediated or not, my plan is to shoot more video interviews at SNY studios Thursday. I have some good guests lined up, so hopefully it fills the void. The blog is not going to die. (That’s a threat!)

Until this post, I have stayed out of the public about this. I know Imania has a huge audience and I respect the work and passion of the thousands of NYI fans on here, so I thought I’d step in and say hi and hopefully the word will spread.

Needless to say, there are far bigger problems in Islanders Country, which is why the team’s timing caught me by surprise. I’m embarrassed this has happened. I hope the boys get a win for you tonight. Okay, time to go back in hiding. No matter what happens, life will still be good. Take care.

Chris Botta"

This is extremely disheartening to read. Chris is one of the most loyal members of the media that the Islanders have. Sure, sometimes he was harsh, but he was always loyal to the team. He by no means deserved to have his credentials pulled from the team. Islanders Point Blank has an incredibly large and loyal following. Even in the midst of this losing streak, the comments sections of his post would have 600-plus comments. When they were winning earlier in the year the numbers were even greater. So many die-hard Isles fans followed IPB because there are very few media outlets that offer true, honest opinions on the state of this organization. Apparently the Islanders cannot handle the truth.

With everything that has gone on with this organization, one would think the Islanders would be a little bit smarter when making decisions. The team is constantly labeled as the "joke of the league," a "disorganization," and other terms of the sort, and yet they go out and do something like this. This move truly is comical.

So, I say to Mr. Wang: Charles, please sell this team to someone who cares. You saved this team back in 2000, but now you are permitting your dissatisfaction with local government officials to kill this organization.

We deserve better.

Tampa Bay at Islanders Preview

Tonight, new Islanders head coach Jack Capauno will coach his first NHL game, and hopefully will get a win under his belt. There were a few changes made to the young Islanders system, but the coach states that he's going to maintain Scott Gordon's system along with the one he himself used in Bridgeport.

It seems that Rick DiPietro will get the start in goal tonight. If they were to start Rolie, then we'd know something is up with DP as Roloson has played five in a row so far. Rick isn't perfect and needs to work on some things to get back to his normal style of goaltending, but some goals aren't totally his fault either. I give credit to Rick atleast trying to come back. It isn't easy to come back after having multiple surgeries and play goalie.

This loosing streak can't go on to 11. It's just ridiculous and Snow knew something had to be done as a new coach was named. It's also lack of scoring as well. The Islanders could of went out this off season and if they really wanted to they could of got guys like Stempniak or if they really were in bid for Kovalchuck, they could of got him. Even Satan who's yet to sign a deal with a team this season. But instead, they get third or fourth liner like Parenteau. Parenteau however hasn't been on the third or fourth line, but he isn't a proven scorer either. When we get Okposo back, hopefully he can help this team out. They need it.

BREAKING NEWS: Scott Gordon Fired

UPDATED 1:32 PM: Rumors are flying around that captain Doug Weight could take over the coaching job as reported by Islanders Hockey Blog from @IncarceratedBob on Twitter. If so, I'd think it would be next season as he's in his final year of his contract. That'd be nice to see as Weight has great leadership as captain of this team. It'd be nice to see Guerin as an assistant, huh?

Also, Chris Botta of Islanders Point Blank states that interim coach Jack Capuano will be sticking with Gordon's system, with the exception of a few tweaks. My question is: If you stick with this system, do you really think this ten game loosing streak is going to get better? I'm pretty sure Snow fired Gordon for a change in coaching...Right?


----
Reported about a week ago by Islanders411 that Scott Gordon's job was on the hot seat, it really was today. Garth Snow the Islanders GM has fired head coach Scott Gordon today. Who's here to take his spot? Bridgeport Sound Tigers head coach Jack Capuano as an interim. Gordon will remain as an advisor to Snow in the third and final year of his contract.


The Islanders management knew they needed to fix something after loosing ten games in a row, and they did. I feel they made the right move. Something had to be done. No, you shouldn't blame all these losses on Gordon, but it's certainly time for a change if Snow still intends for this team to make the playoffs.


Also, defensemen Dylan Reese has been recalled from Bridgeport. My guess is to fill sick Jack Hillen's spot.

More to come...

Islanders Drop Tenth; Notes

-The Islanders dropped their 10th game in a row last night vs the LA Kings. Rob Schremp had the only goal after being scratched two games prior. The Isles went with only 5 defensemen as Jack Hillen was out with the flu. The final score was 5-1 Kings with Roloson in net.

-The Isles also played the Sharks and the Ducks. They were shutout against the Ducks 1-0. The Sharks beat the Islanders in the shootout and the only goal for the Isles was from PA Parenteau which gave the Isles an early lead. Roloson played in those two games as well.

-Jon Sim was recalled from Bridgeport before this three game road trip, however he was only given two shifts of ice time last night against the Kings.

-Mark Streit and John Tavares are listed on the Islanders all star ballot

-According to sources, Miroslav Satan is expected to sign with an NHL team sometime this week. The Islanders need scoring, and all the offense they could get. I say they should sign him as they only have eight goals in eight games. Obviously this team has lost ten in a row and it's not going to get any better without help up front.

-Also to wrap things up, MSG Plus 2 will be airing in HD starting November 19th.

Is Coach Gordon's Job In Jeopardy?

As I'm searching the web today, I noticed multiple rumors regarding Islanders head coach Scott Gordon and his coaching job.

Apparently Coach Gordon's job is in jeporady and he could possibly be fired, in his last year of his contract with the Islanders. It's yet to be renewed. I don't know if it's Gordon's fault for all these losses, but all I know is something has to be done with this team. We can't go on loosing these games.

Newsday's and Islanders writer Katie Strang reports that Gordon's job is not in jeopardy, however. But how do we know? Katie never stated a source, and her source was "A person with knowledge of the situation". Something more specific would help, but then again she may just be not revealing the source out of respect.

Katie also quotes Garth Snow of the following:

“Scott is an excellent coach and we have a great relationship, but my policy has always been that any conversations between him and I stay that way”

NBC Sports also reports the same, this time being Gordon's job in "serious jeopardy".

Well, I guess we'll just have to wait and see. All I know is, and many of you know that the Islanders have to do something to win. No more loosing games. It's getting ridiculous.

Should Gordon stay or go? What do you think? Tell us in comments!

Islanders Drop Seventh To Flyers

And yet another loss. The Islanders are now 4-8-2 in the season, as they're on a what seems like never ending loosing streak. They at least played a little better tonight. It all started in the second when a Flyer deflected a shot past Roloson to grab the 1-0 lead. The Isles would get it back though when they went on the powerplay and Matt Moulson (who else?) cashed in sliding a wrist shot past the Flyers outstanding goaltender. Moulson also got robbed by a stick as he went to his backhand in front, and the crowd stood up waiting for the goal horn to go off as one of the Flyers defensemans stick got in the way. Seems like these Islanders have some bad luck.

Matt Martin got the crowd going by getting in a few scrums with Chris Pronger as he said he would get under Pronger's skin in a pre game interview. He also stated that he "Has a lot of respect for Pronger". Martin should certainly be kept up here. He should of been here since last season. He brings great energy to the game.

Late in the third, which seems to always happen to the Isles, they got scored on as a shot hit Rolie's helmet and rebounded to a stick and in the back of the net. Roloson should wear the neck guards, I don't understand why he doesn't.

These Islanders need to pick their game up. They registered some shots in the third and of course they kept missing the net. Possibly a trade or signing would help as Snow is on record to say that this team will be a playoff team. But it really doesn't look like it...At all...

Islanders/Flyers Pre Game Notes

First off, there was no need to finish that period by period blog of the Isles Sens game after the Isles took a 4-1 loss.

But tonight is a new night against the Flyers, this time being at the Coliseum. The Flyers defeated the Isles 6-1 last Saturday and I'm sure they'll do it again tonight. Dwayne Roloson will get the start in goal tonight. This shows that the Islanders are giving Rolie a chance to become the number one goaltender with Rick DiPietro struggling.

Notes
-As reported by Islanders Point Blank, Matt Martin was practicing alongside John Tavares
-Trent Hunter will return to the lineup tonight as everyone thought he was a healthy scratch last game, but he was just resting his injured foot.
-Daniel Briere will serve his third of the three game suspension tonight.

Keys To The Game
-As I say every game, the Islanders can't spend time in their own zone. This is why they've given up so many goals the past few games. They need to get the puck out of their zone and instead of dumping it in on most or almost every play, try passing it once in a while. I know it's not easy though but the Isles can't keep loosing these games. If they loose tonight, it'll be 7 in a row. We all knew the streak at the beginning of the year was just a streak.

Islanders/Senators Period Summary

1st period: Early in the first, the Islanders went on a five minute powerplay after Trevor Gillies was boarded, which turned into a little scrum broken up by the refs. They failed to score, and only registering three shots. They almost gave up a goal too. It seems like this team isn't stepping up at all, and they need to for these next two periods. The Isles gave up thirteen goals in just two games, and you can't say it's all DiPietro. They'll go into the second trailing a goal after Gonchar fired one past Roloson when he was wide open and no one was covering their goalie, again.

Twitter Feedback:

What do the Isles need to change for the second and third periods?

@NHLArenaNYIsles: Cohesiveness in their positioning and team D... they need that more than anything else. At least they're "only" down by one.

@Islandr22: Other than plexi glass or a brick wall in front of the net.. It won't matter who's in net.. Turnovers = shots, more shots = goals

It's Time To Win

The Islanders lost their fifth straight game to the Carolina Hurricanes last night by a final score of 7-2. Rick DiPietro got the start, and let in all seven Carolina goals. Rick also started last Saturday against the Flyers in a game that saw him in goal for six goals. This cannot continue. The Islanders need to win and they need to do it tonight in Ottawa.



The Isles got off to a great start, but since barely beating the Lightning in overtime exactly two weeks ago, the Islanders have looked like a last place hockey team. John Tavares got his first career hat trick against the Florida Panthers, but apparently he and goalie Dwayne Roloson were the only two players who decided to show up that night, because the Islanders still lost. That loss started the losing streak, as they then went on to lose twice to the Canadiens, they got blown out by the Flyers, and completely embarrassed by the Hurricanes last night.



The Islanders in the last two games have been beaten by a combined score of 13-3. That is disgusting. They now play a tough Senators team, and then come home on Saturday night for a rematch against the Flyers.



The Islanders need to win tonight. They cannot lose six games in a row. It cannot happen. Especially not after the start that they teased us with. The Islanders need to jump on the Sens tonight, and play like an NHL team, because last night's performance was not an NHL performance. The Isles need to at least go to overtime to show the fans that they will not accept losing. They need to win.



Saturday the Islanders face the Flyers at the Coliseum. With the economy and ticket prices the way they are, if the Isles lose tonight in Ottowa, they can expect to hear "Let's Go Flyers!" chants all night long, because no Islanders fans will show up to the game. Why spend the money to see the team lose a seventh straight game? Bottom line: the Islanders need to win tonight. The Islanders need more than a good effort tonight to make up for these last few games. They cannot six straight and expect fans to be supportive. They need to win tonight.



I'm still an Islanders fan through and through, but this cannot continue anymore.

Islanders at Hurricanes Period By Period Live Blog

Join the Islanders411 message board!

Jon Sim netted a hat trick and the game winning shootout goal in his first game with Bridgeport. Amazing. Good for him!

--

1st period: The Isles will go into the first intermission trailing 3-0 and will be down a man from a Wisniewski penalty. These three goals aren't exactly all DiPietro's fault, look at the defense. They need to be more aggressive and help DP out more. The offense needs to continue generating shots on goal and they have to get in front of the net as well. No goals are going to come if no ones in front of the net. The Hurricanes out shot the Isles 15-9 as we head into the first. The Islanders took a 5-0 lead in face offs though, but the Hurricanes came back to even it up as well as taking the face off lead.

2nd period: Now the Isles go into the second intermission trailing by two more, 5-0. The first goal of the period obviously was by the Hurricanes as DP failed to cover the puck up and it was fired home. Then, DP got interfered with in front but the refs declared that Martinek pushed the Hurricane into DiPietro. Martinek went off the ice after taking a stick to the face on the goal. Tavares went off the ice as well after being high sticked, this time drawing the penalty. The Isles were on a 5 on 3 power play and failed to capitalize as Tavares drew the penalty for four minutes. Yawn.

3rd period: Grabner lit the lamp early in the third for his third of the season from Weight. The Hurricanes would take the 6-1 lead then Parenteau scored a power play goal for his third as well, a well deserved goal for him. The Hurricanes answered back with Matsumato scoring his second NHL goal and second of the game. The Islanders need to get their game together before playing the Senators tomorrow night. Expect to see Roloson in net with DiPietro and Roloson sharing these back to back games.

DiPietro Involved In Brawl With Flyers Video

As you can see, right after the slash, Carcillo slashed DiPietro which caused DP to try to drop the gloves with Carcillo.
