stacy28+FollowOvi’s Trash Talk: Sorokin Spills the TeaIslanders fans, you’ll love this: Ilya Sorokin just gave us a peek behind the curtain on what it’s like to face Capitals legend Ovi. Turns out, the Great 8 keeps it simple but savage—he’ll just skate by and say, “Alright, I’m scoring on you now.” No dirty chirps, just pure confidence. Sorokin, ever the ice-cold netminder, just nods and lets his play do the talking. Gotta respect the rivalry and the mutual Russian respect! #Sports #IceHockey #Isles00Share
david52+FollowMatt Martin’s take on Lou Lamoriello’s legacyMatt Martin doesn’t mince words about what made Lou Lamoriello stand out as Islanders GM: he treated everyone the same, no matter your status. Martin, now retired and working in the Islanders’ front office, shared how Lamoriello’s old-school, no-nonsense approach created a culture of real accountability—something Martin says is rare in pro sports. No favorites, no exceptions, just clear expectations for everyone. As the Islanders move forward with new leadership, Martin’s perspective as both a player and now a staff member could shape the next generation. What do you think—does this kind of leadership still work in today’s NHL? #Sports #IceHockey #Isles00Share
