| THERE ARE CURRENTLY NO NEW YORK ISLANDERS EVENTS. |
After a very dismal 05-06 season, the Islanders are looking to better their 36-40-6 record by presenting the fans attending the Nassau Veterans Memorial Coliseum with a new and improved team. Looking to bring the Islanders back to the glory years of 1979-1980, the team went out and signed veteran defensemen Tom Poti and Brendan Witt. To help with the lack of offense the team suffered last season, Mike Sillinger and Chris Simon were recruited to help light the lamps for New York this season.
The Isles provide enough talent to make this team better than last year's. Alexi Yashin, Jason Blake, Trent Hunter, Miroslav Satan, Mike York, Shawn Bates and now Sillinger lead their offensive attack. With all this talent itís hard to imagine the Islanders not scoring plenty of goals. Poti, Witt, Chris Campoli, Alexi Zhitnik, Radek Martinek, and newcomer Sean Hill will provide the Isles with formidable defense unit. All this in front of Rick Dipietro, who signed a 15 year 67.5 million dollar contract and managed to post 30 wins on a dismal team last year, will be an exciting team to watch in the new season.
