Islanders Game #1 Recap

The Islanders Opening Night started against the Dallas Stars. The Islanders had a sell out crowd. Hopeful for the 2010-2011 season to end in postseason. The game started off with Rick DiPietro in net. It was his first Opening Night start since 2007-2008. The Stars took an early lead in the first period, 2-0. The Islanders got a goal back in the 2nd, Wiznieski's goal. But quickly gave it back. But Doug Weight scored to get the score to 3-2. The 3rd period then was underway.

The Islanders fell behind again 4-2, but somehow with a goal from Blake Comeou got it back to 4-3. Again, soon the Islanders had a powerplay goal, and on a shot from Matt Moulson tied the game up!

The Islanders then went to Overtime, down 4-3 on men, but kept it where it was. Then they went to the shootout

DiPietro didn't do bad on the shootout, but The Islanders didn't score later, and soon lost 5-4 in the shootout, ending the 2nd straight opening night game at home losing in a shootout.

Gandler And Snow "Still Talking"

As first reported by SovSport, then by Katie Strang, multiple reports indicate that former Islanders captain Alexei Yashin and his agent are in negotiations with Islanders GM Garth Snow about a possible return to the Islanders.

I contacted Yashin's agent, Mark Gandler and asked if Snow and him are still negotiating, as the latest news was on Friday.

He replied to me via email:

"Yes, we're talking"

Do I think Yashin will be signed shortly? Yes.

The reason for Yashin's potential return? Blake Comeau is being shopped, as first reported by BDGallof.

More to come...

Islanders411 Is Back!

Islanders411, after being down since January, is back up and running! It will be going through major construction in the next few weeks. If you are interested in writing for Islanders411, please contact me. The best way is to reach me on Twitter @Islanders411, as when the site was down, it wiped out my email to the site as well. The old link used to be Islanders411.com, but the server that hosted it was down and now it is back to it's origional URL, www.isles411.blogspot.com. That should change in the next few weeks back to Islanders411, though.
