Stolen from Forever1940's Stat Trick: Isles 2,Van 1(SO)
Visit Eric's blog at http://forever1940.blogspot.com
Uh, oh. Don't look now, but the Isles are closer to a playoff spot (2 points) than they are to the first pick in the draft (3 points). Any they beat that Luongo kid too. On to the trick:
1. Many people could tell you that the Islanders have won three straight games for the first time since a six-game win streak last February. But only on the trick do you get these:
--The Isles have won three straight games against Canadian opponents for the first time since beating Montreal and Toronto twice each in a three-week period in February, 2007
-- The Isles have won three straight, all against Canadian opponents for the first time since beating Vancouver, Montreal and Winnipeg in a four-daystretch in January, 1990. Those were the final three games of a 9-game win streak -- the Isles have not had a nine game iwnning streak since.
2. The Isles have allowed only 4 goals in their current 3-game win streak. The last time they did that was in the final three-games of their six-game win streak last February.
3. Doug Weight padded his team scoring lead with his 4th goal and 16th point. Weight, who has recorded a point in three straight games, now has 3 pp goals. He has a point on 10 of the Isles 13 pp goals this season.
...and a few more
4. The teams played a scoreless third period tonight. The Isles have allowed 25 third period goals (most in the NHL) while Vancouver has allowed only eight (fewest in the NHL).
5. The second period has been good to the Isles this season; they've now outscored thier combined opponents 16-13.
6. The Isles won for the first time this season after trailing after 1 period (1-4-1) while the Canucks failed to win after leading after 1 period for the first time (7-0-1).
7. The Isles improve to 3-1-0 against the West while the Canucks are now 1-3-1 against the East.
8. The Isles are noe 23-12 all-time in shootouts, and are 12-4 at home. The Isles have lost exactly once in a shootout at home in each season including this one. Frans Nielsen had the only goal of the shootout; he's now 2-3 in shootouts.
9. Andy Sutton appeared in his 500th NHL game.
10 Pavol Demitra continued his point-a-game pace against the Isles; he has 8 goals and 10 assists in 18 games vs the Isles.

Islanders Esoteric #17-08 or #2814
Check this out: Joey becomes the 22nd winningest goalie in franchise history with his 7th win tonight. This ties him with two others: Felix Potvin and...
Wait for it....
...Roberto Luongo.
Joey is also the 24th goalie to man the net for 1,000 plus minutes.
Anyone look at the Isles upcoming schedule? They dont play until Fridy and then they go on a 6 game in 9 night tear through the Thanksgiving holiday.
Before you know it we might be fighting for a playoff position. How are we in the middle of a 3-game win streak. But we still have our annual 10 game losing streak to look forward to in December/January time frame.
Not a lot of movement on the esoteric so I had to dig to pull some stats out.
In Franchise game #2,814 we get franchise win #1,230.
Face-offs we are still doing poorly: Nielsen - 8/15; Park - 4/14; Weight 6/17

Coliseum Report from The Captain
Game report -
Nassau Coliseum
Isles 2 Vancouver 1 FINAL in SHOOTOUT
Joey Mac is KILLING US !! :)
He is playing GREAT!
He is leaving gargantuan rebounds out there - and has to control them
better.....but He came up big for us tonight and both goalies played
very well ( Luongo got 3rd star, Nielsen 2nd and JoeyMac 1st) and all
three were well deserved. THey should make an extra star for Tim
Jackman. Had a FANTASTIC game. Fritz won't play here much if
Jackman can bring it like he has and can do ok in the fights dept.
(Still think Fritz should dress vs. NYR and some select opponents)
Tambellini - no results - but continues to play hard.
Josh Bailey - WHAT A PLAYER ! Has a ton of talent. Poor man's Adam
Oates or Joey Juneau.
I don't think much of Vancouver's team. Over-rated - and the goalie
keeps them in it.
Gotta run so will keep a condensed version of my game report.
State Farm Agent of the game = Pete Mathison of New Hyde Park ( WHEN
will a Suffolk county agent get some props ??)
50-50 = $ 2,648 ( Wounded Warriors was the charity and they did a
good job steering traffic to the raffle)
Number of occurrances for "Everybody Clap Your Hands" = 3
Special song - Cotton Eye Joe makes first appearance in a while.
Also - Bruce had nice things to say about the team AGAIN !!!
sorry ! I forgot what they were ! I am recovering from this !

Josh Bailey - WHAT A PLAYER ! Has a ton of talent. Poor man's Adam
Oates or Joey Juneau.
I don't think much of Vancouver's team. Over-rated - and the goalie
keeps them in it.
Gotta run so will keep a condensed version of my game report.
State Farm Agent of the game = Pete Mathison of New Hyde Park ( WHEN
will a Suffolk county agent get some props ??)
50-50 = $ 2,648 ( Wounded Warriors was the charity and they did a
good job steering traffic to the raffle)
Number of occurrances for "Everybody Clap Your Hands" = 3
Special song - Cotton Eye Joe makes first appearance in a while.
Also - Bruce had nice things to say about the team AGAIN !!!
sorry ! I forgot what they were ! I am recovering from this !

The New York Rangers and Points Attainable Esoteric
Everyone is swooning over the NY Rangers. Blah, Blah, Blah. They are in first place. They have such a big lead. Blah, Blah, Blabbity Blah.
Do you want to know where the Rangers really fall? They are in fifth place. The problem with your contemporary standings is that it doesnt take into consideration games in hand. The Rangers (20 GP) have played 3-4 games more than everyone else less Toronto (18 GP) & Montreal (15 GP). I have made a table so that you can look quickly at the Points Attainable rankings for all the teams in our conference. The table is located in the right margin of the esoteric page.
I have taken the liberty to cut and paste the top 5 team in the league so that you can get a better idea of why the Rangers are really in 5th place after games in hand and games left are taken into consideration. When you realize that Montreal has only played 15 Games so far and has only lost 4 games then you realize that the Rangers arent doing as great as everyone makes them out to be.

Islanders Esoteric #17-2008
Only 3 goals tonight but a lot of movement on the Esoteric.
You know that game from Price is Right called the "Range Game". You win a prize by stopping the marker in the right range of the price of the prize? Bergenheim and Campoli are in a range right now because whenever they hit the Esoteric they are making some changes to the Esoteric Landscape.

A few esoterics ago I wrote about making the top 100 on the all-time Goals scored list all you needed was to score 15 goals. You now need 17 Goals to tie Kenny Morrow for the 100th spot. This is due in part to Campoli and Bergenheim getting their goal amounts into the upper-teens.
Campoli's Goal breaking into the top 100 tonight, drops Don Maloney out of the top 100 in all-time Islander Goal scorers.

Strawberry in association with Autism Awareness
Attendance as listed by NHL - 13,722

Guest on Isles radio post game show = Chris Campoli
Activity between first and second period on ice - Sled Hockey
Activity between second and third - contest - shoot puck closest to
center ice faceoff dot ( won by contestant # 1)
Number of Text Messages that made it on screen from me: 3 -- one of

* Megz loves Bruno ( my daughter attended with me - extending her
personal Nassau Coliseum record to 12-2-1 She is 2-0 this year -
attending Blues game with me so far - but she is a big Gervais fan)
Attendance -
My comments - this team is not playing like a "dregs of the NHL"
team. The style Gordon is playing is entertaining. It forced Ottawa
into mistakes. The Isles got two of three goals by just jamming the
net. Tambellini went to the net and seems like he is really
trying....like he gets it now. Jackman looks so much better than
Fritz - but I still want FRITZ on this team. Would sort out a guy
like Chris Neil ( did he play after that fight he won vs Jackman ?)
Joey MacDonald played well. Ottawa brought it to the Isles in the
first. He was the difference.
Except for a bad penalty or two or three - no one on our team was a
dog tonight.
Good win.

The last time the Isles opened a season by beating the Sens in their first two meetings, Mike Milbury was in his first year as Islander coach. In fact, in the first of those wins in 1995-96, Don Maloney was still the Islander General Manager. On to the trick:
1. Joey MacDonald had another strong night in goal, making 38 saves--a season high. He's had more than 38 saves only once in an NHL game--this past April Fools Day against the Devils.
2. The Isles are now 4-2 in their last six games against Ottawa; it's their best stretch against the Sens since going 4-1-3 in the first eight games between the squads.
3. Trent Hunter filled up the box score, even though he didn't had a point. He had six shots on goal (plus 6 more that were blocked or missed the net) and four hits.
...and a bunch more
4. The Isles are 4-2-1 in their last 7 (after opening 2-7-1). It's their best seven game stretch since following up an OT loss with six straight wins last February.
5. The Isles improve to 3-6-1 at home, winning in regulation for the first time since the season opener.
6. The Isles were outscored 2-1 in the third, and have been outscored 25-14 in the third period this season. The Isles were outshot 11-8 in the third and have been outshot 197-142 in the third period this season.
7. The Isles now had 6 pp goals at home and 6 on the road, but they've had 18 fewer chances on the road (6-50, 6-32). Three of their 12 goals have come in the two games against Ottawa.
8. Tim Jackman recorded seven penalty minutes in his fight with Chris Neil --Neil left the game and did not return. Before the fight, Jackman had more goals (1) than penalty minutes (0) -- a stat this is not likely to recur again this season. Jackman later recorded an assist on Campoli's game winner.
9. The Isles have now scored 22 goals 5-on-5 and 22 goals in all other situations. They've allowed 36 goals 5-on-5 and 18 in other situations.
10. The Sens were 15-2-0 after 17 games last season; 6-9-2 this year.
11. The Isles had 31 shots, despite having only 1 shot in the first 8:15 (it came from their own zone, 133 ft away) and only one shot in the final 15 minutes.
Finally, a look ahead--- the Canucks will visit the Coliseum on Monday. Scott Gordon will be the fifth different man to coach the Isles in the last five games between the clubs:
11-Mar-03 - Laviolette
3-Feb-04 - Stirling
14-Jan-06 - Shaw
8-Jan-08 - Nolan
17-Nov-08 - Gordon
The Isles are 1-2-1 in the previous 4, with the win coming on an Aucoin overtime goal in 2004.

Esoteric Tavares Sweepstakes
I could do an esoteric on last night's collapse. But I am not. I could tell you that Yann is the 429th player to or the 35th Goalie ever to... Yadda, Yadda, Yadda, -but - I am not.
I think this season is all a matter of perspective. In order to survive this season with our sanity intact there are two things we must latch onto over the course of the season.
1) Lighthouse Project is coming. We will be so involved in getting the future home of the Islanders going that we won't even have time to worry about the 20 game losing streak. Season ticket holder seats will actually be relocated to Town Hall. This is a positive and Islander Esoteric will soon start a countdown clock until we believe ground will be broken. This is a positive.
2) The Tavares Sweepstakes. Perspective, my friends, perspective. Remember this will be the reward for a yucky season. I was out campaigning last night and I happened to see the Islanders were up 4-1. I thought to myself, "There is no way they hold a 3-goal lead." If I had expected a win the boys would have let me down. I expected the worst and I am content. Perspective.
No matter what the standings might say we are NOT winning the Tavares Challenge right now. We must try harder.
Atlanta is in the lead right now with 148 Points Available compared to our 149 Points available. UNACCEPTABLE. We must win the Tavares Sweepstakes! Plus there are 7 other teams within 5 Points Available striking distance.
Islanders Esoteric is announcing the Tavares Challenge. The challenge will announce who the Tavares Challenge Goat is and who the Tavares Challenge Eagle is. The Goat is awarded to the player who is doing his best to keep Tavares away from the Island. The Tavares Eagle is the player who is doing his best to get Tavares on LI. To qualify a player must play in roughly 75% of the games and have played in roughly the three preceeding games to qualify.
Without further ado, Islanders Esoteric Presents:
TC GOAT: STREIT - 2nd on team in Pts; 4 Goals in last 5 Games
TC EAGLE: PARK - 2 Assists on the season; On pace for 16 Points on the season.
Congrats, Richard!!! Keep up the good work to help bring Tavares to Long Island.

Islanders Esoteric #9-08
Did your favorite player make the esoteric?
ISLANDER ALUMNI to make tonights's esoteric: Brian Curran, Scott LaChance, OLEG!!!, Bert, Ken Leiter, Hubie, Dan Plante, McCabe, Bob's Bassen and Lorimer, Dave McLlwain and the ever-fan-favorite, Don Maloney.
Do you realize that the Roberto Luongo era ended 3,052 days ago? It seemed like yesterday didn't it?
With Hilbert tallying his 18th, I took a look at the top 100 scorers overall. Do you realize that there has only been 99 players to score a mere 17 Goals or more with the Islanders. I thought it would be more considering...
... Mitch FRITZ becomes the 428th player to lace 'em up for the Blue & Orange. He is also the 373rd player to sit in the sin bin for NYI. Fritz is undefeated on the road in regulation time.
Only 55 players who ever skated for the Islanders DID NOT sit in the Penalty Box.
If you are keeping track that means that Chris Campoli is the next one to break into the top 100 Goal scorers.
Last night we actually won the battle of faceoffs for a change. Here is a number that will jump out at you: NEILSEN won 14 F/Os and lost 4.

Islanders Esoteric #8-08 or #2804
This will be kind of abbreviated. I hate doing the esoteric after a loss and especially if that loss is the Rangers.
A few significant milesones during this game for two players breaking into the top 100 on the all-time Islanders tally card.
PARK breaks the top 100 with his 37th Assist tied with Billy Carroll.
COMRIE breaks the top 100 in all-time Points. His 53 Points ties him with Kip Miller and Pat Price at #98th overall.
Congrats!!!
Let's see what else the Magic Esoteric Spreadsheet tells me.....
Oh, here's one: SKINNER is now the 427th player to lace up skates and play for the Islanders.
Congrats to Jon Sim for reaching the 10GP milestone as an Islander. I know it's not much of a milestone but after losing him in game #2 last season, I think it is significant.
STREIT & OKPOSO both are tied with 3 Goals.
STREIT, STREIT and more STREIT...He seems to be the most successful player on the ice right now. He is the 92nd player ever to score a shorthanded goal with us (tied with 37 others)
** ON PACE **
OKPOSO on pace for 30 Points
STREIT on pace for 30 Goals, 41 Assists and 71.8 Points
WEIGHT on pace for 51.3 Assists
COMRIE on pace for 20G/20A/40Pts
** I wanna be like Smitty or Danny? Lorenz that is **
MCDONALD passes Terreri on the all-time minutes played rankings at #25th with his
459th Minute Played. He also moves into the #25th spot in Goals Against breaking a tie with Danny Lorenz. He is also tied with both Terreri and Lorenz in Games Played with 8GP.
** TAVARES WATCH **
Currently, as of the morning of 29 October, we are in sole possession and 48.2% share of the draft lottery balls in the Tavares sweepstakes. We are in 30th place with our mighty 4 points. Atlanta, Columbus and Phoenix are all competing to get the services of the next Crosby.

Nassau Coliseum Report from The Captain
The Isles put up a good effort tonight - they tried.
However, penalties hurt them towards the end.
I don't have much to say.
Surely, some players were impressive tonight ( Okposo) some weren't -
some stood up for the team ( Nate Thompson and Bill Guerin) but we
needed Mitch Fritz.
We were manhandled. Not as bad as it could have been, but we could
use just ONE big guy on the team.
The place was filled with lower life forms - called Ranger$ fans.
I am "with the program" but games like tonight are tough to take.
Will make it that much sweeter someday when we are just KILLING the
Ranger$ with regularity.
OK - the Information you want to hear
State Farm Agent of the game - JEFF HORAN of WESTBURY
He represents Misty May and Sharin Rosefoo
50/50 raffle - $ 1,187.00
Now this figure is low. 15,581 per NHL.com was attendance. I say
14.5 k in building. Usually - its close to $ 2,000.00 on the 50/50
when the game is sold out. However - due to the high degree of "low
budget" Rag Fans - many of whom cannot hold a job - the figure was
much lower.
It was a disgrace in the stands. Just a vile group of sub-human
trash.....And it will get worse as the year marches on when they come
in.
My texts that made it to the screen?
* Voros - Don't forget your "Co-Pay"
* Bruce - Where are you ?
* We Want Fritz
Also - "We're Not Going to take it" by Twisted Sister won the text
poll for the team to take the ice to in the third period.
Enough for now - Good Night

Nassau Coliseum Report #7-08 from The Captain
Well, what an interesting game.
The first period was not so good - but the rest of the game was very
interesting and you have to give it to the boys for giving it their
all. Just a dollar short tonight.
The difference in the game - is that all of our mistakes got buried
in the net.
You cannot give the puck to guys like Staal or Brind'Amour. I cannot
explain Chad Larose however.
60 Shots on goal were a NYI team record - shattering the previous
record of 54 in a loss to the Panthers.
Alice White of Greenvale was the State Farm Agent of the game. I
think Doug B. was digging her - kind of a cutie pie :)
Number of times they played "Everybody Clap Your Hands" = 3
Estimated Fan Count - 6,800
Fan Count Factors - Bad Weather, World Series, Penn State v Ohio State game on tv
Ratio of Ticket Sales people to fans = 1 for every 30 fans
Guest on the "Post Game show at Doolins" - Assistant Coach John
Chabot
The hit by Doug Weight on Brandon Sutter was clean. Sutter did not
have his head up - he will from now on. Hope he is ok. He is a Long
Island born player - and a member of the Isles royal family via his
dad - Brent.
Number of Ranger$ fans kicked out by security - 5
Promotion at the end of the first - Hula Hoop toss to land hoops
around Sparky's head.
Amount of money won on the 50/50 raffle - $ 963.00 ( anything
under 1 grand = small small crowd - bigger crowds have at least 2k in
the raffle)
Musical Act tonight = NONE
Getting back to the game - the penalty shot was interesting. Cannot
argue picking Weight. He used to play with CAR - and knows Ward.
If you are totally into getting Tavares - this was about an exciting
game towards the end - and we did not get a point.
Much better game than the game vs. Dallas.

Islanders Esoteric #6-08
Let me start off with the most tell tale stat of the season. Our friend Doug B's GAA while he is in attendence at the games is 6.00 versus 2.25 when he is not there. The numbers have spoken Doug.
One of the biggest tell tale sign that I see of our problems is the lack of face off wins. In this game we won 19 and lost 31. Not one of our players had won more face offs than they lost.
Streit and Sim become the 288th and 289th Islanders to ever score Goals for the Blue & Orange. They are also tied with a bunch of other players holding the #242 ranking in Goals.
Streit becomes the 173rd Islander to score a Power Play Goal.
ESOTERIC SCORING LINE
Guerin (2) Begrenheim Streit
Streit (1) Hunter Weight
Sim (1) Streit Gervais
Okposo, Comrie, Weight, Streit each with 2 PIMs
Bergenheim with 3 Penalties for 6 PIMs
ESOTERIC PACE
Streit is on pace for 13.7 Goals
Sim is on pace for 13.7 Goals
Streit is on pace for 54.7 Asissts
Gervais is on pace for 54.7 Assists
THE ESOTERIC
GUERIN in his #154th ranked 87 game scored his 25th Goal and is #73rd on the all-time Goal roster. He is tied with Jeff Finley in GP, Tom Fitzgerald in Goals and Don Maloney with 48 Points and the #108th Point spot.
STREIT's 3 Point night gives him a grand total of 5 Points and the #255th spot in Points. He has played in 6 Games with us and is ranked with 10 others at the prestigious #355th spot in GP. His 2 Assists, gives him 4 A's on the year and the #245th spot along with 19 other guys. His 1st PPG ties him with 43 others for the #130 spot.
SIM has now quadrupled his GP total from last season with 8GP's under his belt at #342nd. The Goal translates into his 2nd Point with the team at #296th all-time.
WEIGHT has played in 6 Games and matches STREITS GP totals. His single Assist tonight gives him a total of 3 Assists tying him with 17 others at the #264th place. The Point is his 5th which is only tied with 14 and the #255th notch on the big Esoteric Bulletin Board.
What do Oleg, Goring and HUNTER have in common? They have all played in 332 Games with the Islanders. Now the big question is Trent destined for 4 Cups or for matching up hair styles with The Mighty One? This moes Trent into a tie at the
#45th spot. His Assist is his 94th and puts him in sole possession of the #51st ranking. His 171st Point moves him into the top #40 all-time Points scores tied with J.P. Parise and Claude LaPointe.
BERGENHEIM plyed in his 130th GP and is #125th. His 19th Assis is good enough to land him at the #134th spot with 5 others. The Point gives him 35 with the team and is tied with Vasicek at #130th.
GERVAIS is a game behind Mike Kaszycki in the standing at #112th all-time in GP. His 27th Assists ties him with Steve Webb's friend, Eric Cairns and also Nemchinov at #117. The Point, his 30th, gives him an opportunity to share the #140th position with ostracized Islander Chris Simon.

Support the Economy.
Click on the picture to enlarge the image...
I kept seeing this image of the Rangers bench and the advertising below it on TV. Something about it just wasn't quite right. It took me a little while to put my finger on it, but then it dawned on me what was wrong - or right with this picture.
AIG is advertising at MSG. AIG, which is the company that is heading the charge of running our economy into the ground. It then goes and spits on the economy's grave by having those corporate sponsored events that were supposedly "preplanned".
Then you have The Rangers. Whose tactics over the years have laid ruin to the economy of the NHL.
Something needs to be done about both organizations before they destroy everything that is dear to us all!!!

Islanders Esoteric #5-08
Hmmph!!! Not alot to write about tonight. Normally, I am down on doing the esoteric after a loss but since it was a shut out it was pretty easy.
There really are no trends for tonight to speak of, except that Freddy Quatro is taking a few too many penalties for my liking. He has 10PIMs in the last 3 games and has not had a fight or major.
Another not so good trend I am noticing is the lack of winning faceoffs. We only had 1 guy who won more faceoffs than he lost. We won 23 and lost 28.
It is good to see Ricky back.
The only numbers that stuck out in the esoteric are TAMBELLINI moving up to tie the #168th spot with Gerry Desjardins in 80 Games Played. HUNTER is now tied with Ziggy in Games Played with 331 GP all-time and ranked at #45th.
Oh, and the Rangers lost in OT tonight to the Wings =)

Esoteric Rewind
I was looking around some old files and I came across the following blurb. This came from about 2 years ago the day of the trade deadline. Remember HUNTER played in his 330th game with the Islanders last night:
.
HUNTER had a 2-Goal evening. In his 225th Game as an Islander he is 2 Games behind Bryan Smolinski at
#77 all-time in Games Played. His 59th and 60th Goals with the Islanders makes him the 43rd player to ever
score 60 Goals or more tying him with Oleg (332 GP) and 4 Goals behind Jude Drouin. His Points, garner
him the #57 spot all-time with 119 Points 1 Pont behind Brad Dalgarno (321 GP).
Islanders Esoteric 4-08: Tale of Two Bobs.
Our 2nd win. Congrats to COMRIE & WEIGHT for breaking into the top 100. Read more to find out in what category.
HUNTER is the Games Played (GP) all-time leader amongst active players with 330GP. The next three active on the list are MARTINEK, DIPIETRO and CAMPOLI. The next guy on the list that isn’t hurt is PARK with 162GP.
With last nights Game Winner (GWG), HUNTER extends his lead amongst the active players with 9GWG. Incidentally, he is tied for #33 with Travis Green, Izzy, Roman, Marty McInnis and the Mighty One amongst more recent players. He is also tied with Butchy and Lorne amongst the more “senior” alumni.
MEYER IV had his second 4PIM game in a row.
All-time now, there have been 139 players never to score a goal even though they played with the Islanders. This includes 33 of our 34 goalies.
This was the Islanders 2,800 franchise game and was their 1,225th franchise Win.
**JOEY**
2 other Islander Goalies have played in only 6 games – Big Valley & Marcel Coustineau.
2 others have 2 Wins with the Islanders – Big Valley & Chris Terreri.
Joey ranks 26th in Minutes Played (MP) on the all-time Goalies MP list.
**PIMS**
COMRIE has 95PIMs and is #123 overall tied with Wayne McBean and Hector Marini.
MEYER’s 4PIMS allows him to jump 11 players in the standing and ties him with two players at the #54th spot overall, HILBERT and current Philadelphia Phantoms head coach, Craig BERUBE. Ever see this one: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zlQw8cnsvF4
**PACE & STREAKS**
HUNTER 4G in 3 GP
GUERIN is on pace for 41A and 61.5Pts for the season.
COMRIE is on pace for 41G and 61.5Pts for the season
WEIGHT is on pace for 82G for the season
GERVAIS is on pace for 61.5A on the season
**ESOTERIC**
COMRIE in his 80GP is tied with Gerry Desjardins at #168th. His 23rd Goal lands him in the top 80 overall, breaking a tie with Jeff Norton, Uwe Krupp and PARK. His 29th Assist ties him with 4 others at the #111th spot with HILBERT, Mick Vukota, Dave Hudson, and Randy Boyd. His 2-point game gives him a total of 52Pts and enters him into the all-time Islander’s top 100 in scoring.
WEIGHT becomes the 241st player to ever score 2 Goals with the Islanders. He was also the 287th player to ever score a Goal *EVER* with the team. His mere 4GP is #371st and ties him with 14 others. The Goal tonight was his 2nd Power Play Goal (PPG) and breaks him into the top 100 at #99 with 28 others. He is #268th overall in Points tied with 15 others with his 4 Points.
HUNTER is the active leader in a bunch of categories right now. I mentioned above the players he was tied with in the all-time GWG category. Let’s hope Trent tends towards the success of Butchy and Lorne than the other bunch. TRENT had a multi-Goal night in his 330GP with the Islanders. He is tied with Shawn Bates at #47th overall in theh GP category. His 76th & 77th Goals jumps him over Claude Lapointe for the #37 spot on all-time Goal scorers. He is again tied with Bates in Points at #42nd with 170 Points.
GUERIN has been here now for 85GP. Is that true? He just got here, what? Yesterday? 85 GP places him at #155th with Randy Boyd, Mike Hough and Mattias Timander. His Assist is his 23rd and lands him at the #129th spot with MAB, Mike Watt and Big Z. His 47 Points ties him and Bob Bassen together at #109th overall in Points.

Islanders Esoteric - The First One
Its here – Finally. The first edition of this year’s esoteric.
What do Park, Turgeon and Flately have in common? Read on and you will see.
The Islanders have now played in 1,400 games at home with the loss to St Louis. They will play their 1,400 Away game and their 2,800th Franchise game on Thursday in TB.
Thomas Pock, who was the only player not to play on Friday, gets the distinction of being the 426th player to ever lace up the skates for the Islanders in a regular season game. Thompson would be 425th, Streit would be 424th and Doug Weight would be the 423rd players accordingly.
426!!!
Witt went over 1300 NHL PIMs during the melee the other afternoon. Weight is 3 PIMs shy of 900 total.
I am trying to confirm but I think Park is only at 92 NHL Assists and is 8 Assists away from 100 NHL Assists.
Hunter is on pace for a 54.7 G season
Weight, Streit and Gervais are on pace for a 54.7 Assist season
Weight is on pace for an 82 Pts season.

Less than a Week to Islanders Esoteric #1-08
Just wanted to give a heads up of what is in store for the Esoteric once the season starts. We take a look at the stats from a different angle. Sure you can read the standings in the paper or on the internet but we correlate these numbers to years gone by, alumni and the relation to the other teams fighting to make the playoffs. Get familiar with a couple of our past blogs and see you next week in Jersey.
.
.
I also want to make mention that we will be keeping close tabs on the Lighthouse Project and upcoming events to get the groundbreaking to happen next summer.

The Light Post
A new blog hit the street recently that is written by one of those girls that stand by that table that has the big picture of the new coliseum. In other words, Katrina has been putting all the stuff that have been going on with the Lighthouse Project in an easy to read blog. The main lighthouse page is great for getting the facts but it is nice to read about the behind the scene stuff that goes on and seeing all the hard work that these people are putting forth.

I took a moment and shot off an email to Brandon last night to welcome him to the Island.
Here is his response:
"Thanks a lot for the warm welcome. I am going to work the hardest I have worked in my life to make your team, and, I hope that very soon I will call it my team too. see ya soon, Sugar."
This is what I am talking about! I want guys that want to be here. Screw the media saying that guys don't want to play here.
Note that he signed off as "Sugar" a classic nickname in the making.

Congrats to Brandon!!!
I wanted to say congrats to Brandon and his announcing his official invite to training camp.
As my friend Pat said to night it would be a dream come true to have the Wrecker, Fritz and a little bit of Sugar in the opening line up against the Rangers!!!!
Welcome to Long Island
