Standing in the lobby of the David S. Mack Sports and Exhibition Complex, Speedy Claxton became philosophical.

Workers at @HofstraU just hung a banner congratulating @HofstraMBB for winning the @CAASports men’s basketball championship. #Hofstra #CAA
It had been 25 years.
Nine thousand, one hundred and 31 days.
It was worth the wait.
Because @hofstrau.bsky.social is going dancing.

Is it a negative that the so-called digital town square cannot handle a simple stream of a press conference? Especially when the so-called digital town square is owned and operated by a self-professed tech genius? This is, by the by, a rhetorical question.
The Islanders announced Jean-Gabriel Pageau has agreed to a three-year extension. #NHL #Isles #NHLTrade #NHLTradeDeadline
It bears noting that trades are routinely announced after the 3 P.M. deadline. #NHL #NHLTradeDeadline
The Rangers announced they acquired Aidan Thompson from the Chicago Blackhawks for Derrick Pouliot. Thompson, 24, has 15 points in 40 games with AHL Rockford this season. #NHL #NYR #NHL #NHLTradeDeadline
In discussing the John Carlson trade to Anaheim, the
Sportsnet NHL Trade Deadline panel noted 37 percent of the players in the league have some level of trade protection. #NHL #NHLTradeDeadline
...publicly mentioned in trade rumors.
And their reaction to the maelstrom that they and their teammates find themselves in?

Alexis Lafreniere and Braden Schneider are aware.
Of Chris Drury’s letter announcing his desire to reconstruct the Rangers. Of the unceasing noise that has surrounded their team for six weeks. Of the upcoming NHL trade deadline. Of the fact that both have had their names...

For 40 minutes, bodies collided.
For 40 minutes, bodies crashed to the floor.
For 40 minutes, Hofstra and Stony Brook were engaged in a fight. It was tense. It was desperate. It was two rivals trying to prove who...

Through one prism, Adam Fox’s words could be viewed as an innocuous acknowledgement of the plainly obvious.
Through another, though, they could be construed as potentially an ominous precursor to a divorce between the Jericho native and the only team for which he has...

The results, Patrick Roy said, are important.
But, in the same breath, the Islanders coach stressed that he values process. And that is why he feels comfortable with the state of his team’s power play.
Because, he argued, since they are getting chances...
The Islanders swept the regular-season series against the Rangers 4-0-0 and, in the process, outscored them 14-3 in 12 regulation periods. #NHL #Isles #NYR
The Islanders have outscored the Rangers 12-2 in nine regulation periods this season. #NHL #Isles #NYR
And, hey, feel free to call me Denis. Mr. G is my pops!
Hopefully I can meet him--and you!--one day soon.
Hi GGSA! I do not know Bill, but I am vaguely familiar with his name.
You are welcome!
It is not unreasonable for the Islanders to be viewed as an example of an overhaul done quickly and successfully by the Rangers. The @newsday @newsdaysports analysis: www.newsday.com/sports/hocke...

Well, I see thanks to my long-time friend and @newsday.bsky.social @NewsdaySports colleague @colinsnewsday.bsky.social
that I have a bunch of new followers. Welcome aboard. And as he said, I am at @NYRangers practice ahead of the home-and-home with the @NYIslanders. #NHL #Isles #NYR
The Islanders and Rangers both announced the Carson Soucy trade has been finalized. The Islanders get the 31-year-old left-shot defenseman, while the Rangers acquired a 2026 third-round draft pick to kick off their retool. #NHL #Isles #NYR
Fun fact: The Washington Post is owned by a man who rented parts of Venice, Italy, for his wedding.

On a day that the Islanders welcomed Bo Horvat back into the fold, the organization may be preparing to bid adieu to Bridgeport.
