FSC Faceoff: T-Minus 4 Hours
http://fscfaceoff.blogspot.com/2009/06/t-minus-4-hours.html
Friday, June 26, 2009. It's officially been 78 days since I've last sat at this computer and have written about our favorite hockey team. Working 55-60 hours of construction a week will do that to you. Anyone who has read this blog knows how I feel about John Tavares. It's not that I don't love him as a player, but I'm more enamoured by the mammouth defenseman from Sweden, and have now officially joined the "Matt Duchene Man-Crush" bandwagon. Who do I think the Isles WILL take? Who do I want? This draft ...

FSC Faceoff: Let's Get One Thing Clear...
http://fscfaceoff.blogspot.com/2009/07/lets-get-one-thing-clear.html
Friday, July 17, 2009. Let's Get One Thing Clear. I DO NOT hate John Tavares. Since the Islanders selected the 19 year old center from the London Knights, friends (knowing my man-crush of Victor Hedman and my recent boarding of the Matt Duchene bandwagon) have asked me if I will cheer for Tavares. My response: "as loud as I can". Those of you who I've spoken to about this have probably grown tired of this argument, so I'll leave it at that. Was John Tavares the right pick? Boy, I hope I'm wrong. View my ...

FSC Faceoff: "Glimmer of Hope", or "Enjoy it while you can"?
http://fscfaceoff.blogspot.com/2009/10/glimmer-of-hope-or-enjoy-it-while-you.html
Sunday, October 4, 2009. Glimmer of Hope", or "Enjoy it while you can"? The Islanders are on the power play. And the bouncing puck. Moulson after it. Still loose, backhand, shot, score! JOHN TAVARES HAS HIS FIRST NHL GOAL! Ever since 7:05 pm on June 26, 2009, Islander fans have been waiting to hear that. On a night where political tensions ran high, where paranoia was so thick and pronounced it could be cut with a knife, and where fans constantly wondered "whats next? Lighthouse Principle and Islanders o...

FSC Faceoff: My Night at the Draft Party: Part One
http://fscfaceoff.blogspot.com/2009/06/my-night-at-draft-party-part-one.html
Sunday, June 28, 2009. My Night at the Draft Party: Part One. Greetings from Erie, Pennsylvania! This week, my new construction job (which I'm regretting taking more every day), has brought me to this little city on the shore of Lake Erie. Unfortunately, this is the second time in three weeks I've had to make the ten hour drive to a city which I've affectionately come to call "America's Armpit". Great job done by Stephen and Tony. Great job to everyone at the Lighthouse Group. After my visit with the peo...

FSC Faceoff: October 2009
http://fscfaceoff.blogspot.com/2009_10_01_archive.html
Wednesday, October 7, 2009. As an official "minion" (and damned good one at that) of the Lighthouse Group, one of my duties was to write an article about the state of the project and about Saturday's "day of certainty". Enjoy, courtesy of the Light Post! Sunday, October 4, 2009. Glimmer of Hope", or "Enjoy it while you can"? The Islanders are on the power play. And the bouncing puck. Moulson after it. Still loose, backhand, shot, score! JOHN TAVARES HAS HIS FIRST NHL GOAL! The sold out Coliseum was shaki...

The Palm Isle: Happy to be there
http://thepalmisle.blogspot.com/2010/02/happy-to-be-there.html
A Good Bar Here. Monday, February 22, 2010. Happy to be there. By the time I was back in the rocking chair with a beer and watching the replay of the game on Time Warner Sports, I was a little sad. I'll mark that with a smile. Coming down from the high of screaming along with 21,000 mostly upstaters as a man parachuted to center ice to the theme from Rocky? But I don't think that's it. It was ugly as piss. And it was everything we could have hoped for. We walked through and around the whole thing on our ...

Greetings From Islander Country: November 2007
http://greetingsfromislandercountry.blogspot.com/2007_11_01_archive.html
Greetings From Islander Country. As I made the commute from the city tonight I passed 2 guys wearing Islander jerseys, no doubt on their way the the World's Most Heinous Arena for tonight's game against the Rangers. It was a sight that would get the adrenalin going in any Islander fan. The Isles, coming off of a big win against the Senators, arrive with some room for improvement. Most notably, the power play has been nothing short of deplorable as of late. This morning, the NHL had us at 15 th. Finally s...

Greetings From Islander Country: Right Man, Wrong Team
http://greetingsfromislandercountry.blogspot.com/2008/07/right-man-wrong-team.html
Greetings From Islander Country. Right Man, Wrong Team. After the Islander home opener in October, I stood with my fellow bloggers. The chatter amongst the beat writers ceased immediately when a rear door opened. Quietly, Ted Nolan, led by then VP of Media and Communications Chris Botta. Asked "that it guys? And then it was all over. Nolan left, taking the same route as he had on the way in. And there ended my first exposure to the man. One year ago, the thought of attending opening night for the 08-09 s...

Greetings From Islander Country: June 2008
http://greetingsfromislandercountry.blogspot.com/2008_06_01_archive.html
Greetings From Islander Country. A Bailey, with ice please. Like most of you out there in Islander Country, I found myself eagerly reading each of Logan's recent posts which discussed the Islander's myriad options for tonight. What I do not remember reading was a scenario where the Isles would trade down twice and select Josh Bailey. I'm not saying there is anything wrong with it, but I'm just trying to get my thoughts around what happened tonight. You could QB the powerplay. And possibly 60 th. An impul...
