Islanders & NHL News: Looking back at 2019, Pierre, Duclair

From Isles Den on YouTube, on the 2018-19 season: “Nobody saw them coming…”


Also…:

• Anthony Duclair is looking forward to the season with the Isles. [via @RTaub]
• …and Duclair deserves another shot/fresh slate. [THN]
• Revisiting some Isles video content: Alumni browse the hockey card wall. [Isles]
• Summer power rankings: “It’s slightly uncomfortable ranking the Isles this low [24th] because they’re still just a monster Ilya Sorokin season away from pushing very hard for a playoff spot.” [Sportsnet]
• Pierre Turgeon discusses his career, including the impact of Al Arbour, the D*le H*nt*r coward-shot plus some great stuff about driving to the rink with Patrick Roy every day in Montreal knowing that the end was near (his interview starts about an hour into these meatheads’ bro-cast). [Spittin’ Chicklets]
• The Gaudreau widows are announcing a foundation in their late husbands’ name with an interview on a morning show on Johnny’s birthday. [NHL]

Not Isles-related

• Matthew and Brady Tkachuk talk about their teams, the CBA (“less preseason crap”), the Olympics ’n stuff. [ESPN]
• Speaking of them, Matthew is somehow still undecided on abdominal surgery, which would cause him to miss at least two to three months. (Season’s approaching…LTIR shenanigans?). [ESPN]
• The Senators have acquired land in their never-ending arena ambition. [Sportsnet | TSN]
• Looking toward the next draft lottery that the Penguins will win: Can Keaton Verhoeff catch Gavin McKenna as the top prospect? [Sportsnet]
• The Wild will bring Jack Johnson in on a PTO. Dude’s a cockroach. [TSN]
