1/11/26 - Chugging Along! Guest: Kelly Cheeseman, Isles Pres of Business Ops

A step forward and a step back for the Islanders after topping the Rangers then falling to the Predators when it looked like they were going to coast to another victory in the early going. Justin Bourne of Sportsnet joins Sean & Arthur to talk about where this puts the Islanders and more as they try to close out the important stretch before the Olympic break.Follow HNiNY on all social media platforms at @hockeynightnyPresented by OwnwellSponsored by Raiser, Kenniff, & Lonstein Attorneys at LawRecorded at Floored MediaSubscribe to our friends at IslesFix newsletter!

Mathieu Darche has entered the trade mix with a pair of surprising deals with local rivals in Manhattan and Jersey to bolster the Islanders lineup. And at least for a night, the deals to bring in Ondrej Palat and Carson Soucy have worked out positively with a convincing win over the Rangers. Time will tell if that remains the case, but what's clear is that Darche and the Isles are set on making some noise in the playoffs. Sean & Arthur get back behind the mics to talk about the deals and what's been happning on the ice with a critical stretch of hockey coming up before the Olympic break.Follow HNiNY on all social media platforms at @hockeynightnyPresented by OwnwellSponsored by Raiser, Kenniff, & Lonstein Attorneys at LawRecorded at Floored MediaSubscribe to our friends at IslesFix newsletter!

The Islanders are collecting points on their 7-game trek through the West as they keep pace in the ridiculously tight Eastern Conference standings race. Ilya Sorokin is playing out of this world, Anthony Duclair seems to be rediscovering his scoring touch, and Pelech & Pulock are holding things down on the defensive end. Sean & Arthur chat all about it as the Isles head further West after stops in the Midwest and Alberta!Follow HNiNY on all social media platforms at @hockeynightnyPresented by OwnwellSponsored by Raiser, Kenniff, & Lonstein Attorneys at LawRecorded at Floored MediaSubscribe to our friends at IslesFix newsletter!

The Islanders routed the Devils at home then took off for a 7-game journey that began with three points out of four in Nashville & Minnesota - two buildings that have not been kind to the Isles in recent years. Every point is critical as it always seems someone around them in the standings is collecting points as well. Sean & Arthur will discuss it all and also have the pleasure of chatting with Islanders President of Business Operations Kelly Cheeseman!Follow HNiNY on all social media platforms at @hockeynightnyPresented by OwnwellSponsored by Raiser, Kenniff, & Lonstein Attorneys at LawRecorded at Floored MediaSubscribe to our friends at IslesFix newsletter!
