Bridgeport no more

The Bridgeport sound tigers/islanders are moving to Hamilton, Ontario next year. I haven’t gone to a game in a few years since they’ve been a donkey show but now I’ll have to find a game or two to attend before they leave. Probably better for the team but sucks for fans around here. All 14 of us.

Re: 25-26 Season Schedule

Isles finish their second 7 game road trip 3-3-1 after a 4-1 loss (en) to the Kraken. Isles certainly couldn't blame the refs. They had SEVEN powerplays, scoring on one. 1/7 is not the way to win games. I didn't see the game, fortunately for me. They also started with a lead, Duclair scoring on the ...

Re: 25-26 Season Schedule

4-2 loss to the Flames. Rittich with only 15 saves on 19 shots. Not great.

4-3 win vs Canucks. Duclair with 2 G, Q'Anongelo with 1G 1A, Barzal and Schaefer with 2A. Pulock scored his whopping 2nd of the year. I'll never understand a guy with a cannon of a shot like him barely ever scoring.

Re: 91 to the rafters


I’m sure he’s happy about it now but I remember Skip felt about Sergei the way Chris feels about Tavares.

Phenomenal player. Well deserved. I think his best line was Shanahan - Fedorov - Draper (at least that was Fedorov’s Dad’s pick) but others on here would know more than me.

The only people frustrated with the Sabres now are their opponents. What have they won, 12 of 13? That's a hell of a run.

Re: 25-26 Season Schedule

Isles with a 1-0 win over the Oilers. Sorokin was unbelievable but got help from the iron. Bouchard had a shot off the post and then crossbar that rolled on the line but not over it. Called a goal originally, then no goal. Draisatl hit the far post in the last minute. But Barzal hit the crossbar at ...

Re: 25-26 Season Schedule

Isles sign former Habs prospect Pierrick Dube to an AHL contract. He just left his KHL team. Dude is 5'9", 185 lbs. Averages around 0.75 ppg in the AHL. Bridgeport could use any help they can get. 29th place in a 32 team league. My apologies to the former coaches that I blamed. Or maybe the current ...

Re: 25-26 Season Schedule

Isles lose 5-4 to the Jets in regulation. They were down 3-0 after allowing 2 goals in 42 seconds. They suddenly started playing and tied it quickly. Then they forgot to play D again, leaving Jets wide open in front, as they did all night, and were down 5-3. Scored with 44 seconds left to make it ...

Absolutely. But still, the skill to flip it up, knock it down and still have enough control to pass it over? Crazy.

Isles had an off day in MN so they went to Anders Lee's family compound. https://www.nhl.com/islanders/multimedi ... -minnesota

Re: 25-26 Season Schedule

4-3 OT win over the Wild. All game long it was Minn scored, Isles scored, until OT when the Isles got their first lead. That's the important time though, so I'll certainly take it. 3/4 points to start the long road trip. Holmstrom with the OT winner, his 2nd of the game and he had an assist.

Re: 25-26 Season Schedule

2-1 SO loss to the Preds to start the road trip. I told my wife they'd get shutout the game after putting in 9. I was off by 1. Philly lost in OT so they kept pace there. Canes won, not that I think the Isles will take over 1st place. Philly actually has a slightly higher winning % than the Isles ...

Re: So, what now?

Binnington give up 7, and 1:08 after the 7th goal, with 5:54 to play and trailing 7-2, Montgomery tries to change goalies. First, why wait until after 7 goals, especially the day after Keefe was roasted on every sports talk show for keeping Markstrom in for all 9 allowed? But also, why the extra 1 ...

Re: 25-26 Season Schedule


I am not one to prioritize watching the Isles unless they are playing one of my teams. However, I have tuned in to a few additional games this year just to see Schaefer, who is an absolute stud. I also like Barzal. I was rooting for him to return to the form I think he is capable of this year. I ...

Re: 25-26 Season Schedule


I would say Schaefer has made them relevant again amongst other fans. I agree last season no way would I consider watching one of their games but this season the kid is fun to watch.


100% true. Even Biz & PK Subban have both said they're really fun to watch now, and they both shredded the Isles ...
