Isles News: A John Tavares Contract Would Give Toronto Columnists Nothing to Troll About
[**UPDATE: The Islanders will make an announcement "about Tavares' future" at 1 p.m. Thursday. One can assume he won't be leaving hockey to enter the clergy. [**UPDATE 2: Bob McKenzie, Arthur Staple, Katie Strang and your Uncle Al report it's 6 years, $5.5 million average salary.] To tell you the...
Best in Class: The New York Islanders Dynasty
In the interests of a ration of ducats for the humble blogger, I was asked to discuss a team in history that "exhibited exceptional class." There's an obvious answer here, so I tried to think of obscure ones -- this year's Islanders, who stood up for themselves when officials and the special...
Bits: Trottier reassigned(?), mini-camp continues
So much going on for an early July day and so much being discussed here [Jankowski here; mini-camp here; silly Nabokov here; Kirill Kabanov here; and the agents' praise for Snow here]. That can only call for a links dump: Chris Botta breaks that Bryan Trottier's role as exec. director of Player...
Remembering Jacques Lemaire, hockey player
Jacques Lemaire plies his trade against the St. Louis Blues during a rather unusual line change. The state of Lemaire's receding hairline, the lack of the helmet which he donned in mid-career, and especially the fact the Blues goalie is almost certainly Ernie Wakely, places this photograph...
#19: Yzerman's nod to Trottier
I'm just hearing the Hall of Fame induction speeches piece-meal as the week goes on, so apologies for the old news. In glimpses of 2009 Hall of Fame induction coverage, I didn't see mention of this, though I'm sure it's been brought up. Just 40 seconds into Steve Yzerman's acceptance speech (video...
On this date, 1990: Bryan Trottier's 500th goal
Bryan Trottier could pass a puck through rush hour traffic without it being tipped, and he could find an open teammate with three opponents in his face. But his shot? Hardly legendary, as he's admitted himself. So to note that he scored 500 NHL goals is to recognize his positioning, his subtle...
Dynasty-era Islanders' beloved grumpy old men
This is beautiful. If you haven't seen this on the Islanders official site yet, it's a great idea and pretty well executed: Clark Gillies, Bobby Nystrom and Bryan Trottier watch Islanders practice and comment on all the change in the game since they played. They sound like a grumpy old men skit (in...
Operation Stanley Complete
I went to Terrace today to witness the Hockeyville festivities and it was worth the drive! Hell, I had never seen the Stanley Cup in person before, and I wanted to meet Bryan Trottier, Ken Morrow, Cliff Ronning and Dave Babych (again). Oh yeah, and Fin made an appearance as well. Like I said in...
