| Did the Isles let down after clinching? They were one of hottest teams but lost the final three. That could be a killer because it gives them the Pens in the opening round. | ||

| Seeing how they're the Islanders, I think a lot of people expected them to fall flat on their faces. Instead they have gone 11-1-2 in the last 14. Plus, they're just really fun to watch now. | ||

| The Islanders have been playing great of late, going 8-1-2 in the last 11. The key has been strong play in their own zone; they have given up two or fewer in eight straight. The Isles' last five games come on the road, but against mostly bad teams. | ||

| A modest three-game win streak was snapped by the Pens, which is understandable. But they're square in the mix. ... But can they really count this much on Evgeni Nabokov? He has all 16 Isles wins this season. | ||

| Nothing like the Florida Panthers coming to town to get them off the schneid. The three-game losing streak is done and the Isles are still hanging around in the playoff race. | ||

| The Isles are just two points out of a playoff spot but it's hard to consider them a true threat when they're 29th in the league in goals against per game with 3.25. | ||

| Just when their fans get excited about being so close to a playoff spot, a team like the Penguins sends them back to reality. | ||

| It looks like the Isles are going to tease their fans once again by hanging just close enough. They're three points back of the eighth spot right now ... I don't think any team loses more leads in the last two or three minutes of a game than the Isles. It's a skill. | ||
| 02/25/2013 | 24 | 24 |
| There is a divide emerging in the East, and for once, the Isles are on the "still in it" side. Progress ... Speaking of odd home/road splits, the Isles are 2-7-0 on home ice while they're 6-3-1 away. You have to take care of things at home. | ||
| 02/18/2013 | 24 | 24 |
| For one weekend they are kings of the tri-state area after taking wins over the Rangers and Devils in successive games. John Tavares is on fire, the goaltenders ... not so much. | ||

| Is Lubomir Visnovsky being made to stay good or bad? ... At some point this team will finally start to piece it together and realize the potential they have. I wouldn't count on it being this season with a defense that's still not where they want it to be. | ||
