The New York Islanders Take on the New Jersey Devils Tonight

 Hello there, New York Islanders fans! I am coming to you from my house on this overcast day bringing you the latest news from your New York Islanders. I am happy to say that I will be attending the UBS Arena tonight when the Islanders take on their Hudson River rivals the New Jersey Devils. I am super psyched as it will be my first time at the new arena on Long Island!

 

But now enough about me, let talk about the game tonight. Coming into tonight’s game the Islanders are not off to the greatest start this season, as they are in the  bottom of the Metropolitan Division as of right now with 17 points and a record of 6 wins, 11 losses, and 5 ties, while the New Jersey Devils have a record of 10 wins, 10 losses, and 5 ties.

Some key matchups to watch for tonight’s game includes Matthew Barzal and Anders Lee for the New York Islanders. The reason you want to look for these key players is that Matthew Barzal has the legs of a gazelle with the ability to skate circles around the ice. Anders Lee has a never-back-down mentality when it comes to getting to the front of the net, and he always gets the dirty goals (always cleaning up the garbage!).

On the other side of the ice, key players to look for include Dawson Mercer, Jesper Bratt, and Nico Hischier. Dawson Mercer is a sharpshooter who burst onto the scene this year for the New Jersey Devils. Jesper Bratt is quick as a fox and is excellent at scoring those crunch-time goals. Nico Hischier is coming off injury but is looking to provide guidance in his leadership role as captain of the Devils.

It should be a rocking atmosphere at UBS Arena tonight on Long Island. Hopefully, the Islanders can get their first win at their new home – I sure hope so! I would like to be there when they do … maybe I will bring them luck! That is all for now, thanks for reading and happy holidays.

The New York Islanders take on the Tampa Bay Lightning tomorrow night

 

Hello there New York Islanders Fans! I am coming to you from my house on this cold and rainy day bringing you all the very latest news regarding your New York Islanders as they get set to take on the two-time defending Stanley Cup champion, the Tampa Bay Lightning on Monday night. Going into this game against the Tampa Bay Lightning the New York Islanders have not put their best effort yet into this young hockey season, but this reporter still believes that there is still enough time for the Islanders to turn their ship in the right direction!

Now to the hockey game itself. The New York Islanders are coming off a shutout loss on Thursday night at the hands of the New Jersey Devils. Some players to watch in Monday night’s contest between the two teams include Steven Stamkos center for the Tampa Bay Lightning, who has been well known for ‘lighting the lamp’ especially in crunch time, and Matthew Barzal center for the New York Islanders, who speed and skating always make for an exciting game.

I sure hope that the Islanders can get back to their style of hockey and finish out this 13-game road trip with a bang before opening at the UBS arena in Elmont on Saturday, November 20th at 7:00 PM. Islanders fans as well as myself are looking forward to the opening game at the Islander’s brand-new home.

 New York Islander fans this has been Tommy Buckley, thanks for reading! You can catch all of tomorrow night’s action on MSG PLUS at 7 PM. Let's go, Islanders, bring home a big win. 

The New York islanders take on the Montreal Canadiens

Hello there, New York Islanders fans! I am coming to you live from my sweet ride bringing you the latest news on your favorite hockey team!

Coming into tonight's action, the Islanders have a record of three wins and two defeats with two overtime losses for 8 points in the Metropolitan Division, while the Habs come in with a record of three wins and 8 regulation defeats in the Atlantic. To put it straight. it is a big game for both teams. Some key match-ups to watch for in tonight's game include the Habs forwards Tyler Toffoli and Mike Hoffman. For our Islanders, Anders Lee and Oliver Wahlstrom. It will be critical for the Islanders to get back to their defensive style of hockey tonight if they want to continue picking up points on this daunting road trip. We will see if our boys in orange and blue can come out on top tonight. Coverage starts tonight at 6:30 p.m. on MSG  with Islanders game night. Let's go, Islanders! Bring home a big two points! 

Knicks Looking to Remain Undefeated Tonight

Hello there, basketball fans. I am coming to you live from my friend’s place, bringing you the latest on the New York Knicks’ quest to remain perfect through the first three games of the season. I know it’s only the first three games, but this reporter is feeling very optimistic. This team is building off what they did last year when they made it to the NBA playoffs. The Knicks look like a well-oiled machine after the first two games of the regular season, beating the Boston Celtics 138-134 in double overtime and following that up with a dominating performance, winning 121-96 against the Orlando Magic on Friday night.

 

The two new additions for the Knicks, Evan Fournier and Kemba Walker are really paying off, especially Evan Fournier, who scored 32 points on opening night on Wednesday versus the Boston Celtics and followed that up with an 18 point performance on Friday against Orlando Magic. Matchups to watch are William Carter Jr. from the Orlando Magic and Julius Randle of the Knicks, and RJ Barrett vs. Terrence Ross. You can watch the game tonight at 7pm on MSG with Mike Breen and Walt “Clyde” Frazier, with Rebecca Haarlow as the sideline reporter. 

New York Knicks Begin the 2021/2022 NBA Regular Season on Wednesday

 Hello there, basketball fans! It's your favourite Knicks sports reporter! I am back, bringing you a preview of the 2021/2022 Knicks regular season. During this recent NBA off-season, the New York Knicks brought back most of their key contributors from last year's playoffs squad, but they've added two new key additions to the team: Bronx native Kemba Walker and Evan Fournier and signed them to contracts. Kemba Walker is recently coming off an injury-riddled year and he looks to bounce back to his normal 18 points a game player this season with the Knicks. Walker, who originally went to UConn, used to love playing in Madison Square Gardens. 

Now, moving on to Evan Fournier, the Knicks desperately needed outside shooting help, so they went after Fournier, who averaged about 14 points per game. The two new additions should help Julius Randall with the scoring load along with the core Knicks like Derek Rose, who was a major sparkplug coming off the bench with Tom Thibodeau leading the way. I believe that this defensive-oriented team will have a good all-around game. 

As for your keys to victory on Wednesday night versus the Boston Celtics, key number one is to slow down the dynamic duo of Jason Tatum and Jaylen Brown. That's the two-handed engine that makes the Celtics go. IF you can slow those two all-stars down, you have legitimate shot in winning the game. Some match-ups to watch for on Wednesday night are Jason Tatum vs R.J. Barrett, Kemba Walker vs. Dennis Schroder. 

In closing, I am really looking forward to seeing what the New York Knicks can build off their last season's success. You can see Wednesday night's game on ESPN at 7:30 P.M. Let's get this season underway! Go New York Go New York Go!

Critical Series For Both Yankees and Mets

 Hey sports fans! Sorry it’s been quite a while since I blogged. I hope you guys have been enjoying the summer as best you can due to COVID. Coming into this final stretch of the Major League Baseball season, the 2 local teams meet up for a critical final battle in the Subway Series tonight at 7pm in Queens. Coming into tonight’s action, the Yankees are coming off a streak of losses at the hands of the Toronto Bluejays and are barely hanging onto the second wild card spot in the American League East.

As for the New York Mets, there were high expectations for the first couple months but the team has fallen on hard times, sitting in third place in the National League East. This series is potentially make or break for both teams. If the playoffs were to start today, the Yankees would be headed up to Fenway Park to play the Boston Red Sox in a win or go home scenario. 

That is why this series is so crucial for both teams. Some players to watch on both sides are Pete Alonso and Javi Baez for the Mets and Aaron Judge and Giancarlo Stanton for the Yankees. 

Now let’s break down the pitching matchup! For the Mets it’s Tylor Megill (ERA 4.20, 2-4) and for the Yankees it’s Jordan Montgomery (3.47 ERA, 5-5). It should be a good matchup. If you want to watch the Yankee broadcast with Michael Kay,, David Cone, and Paul O’Neill, you can tune in to channel 576. If you’re looking for Gary Keith and Ron Darling, you can tune into SNY channel 577. All I know is Go New York Go New York Go!

Potential Knock Out Game For Bucks

 Hello there basketball fans,  Baker Pond in Port Washington, NY, as  I’m back from my hiatus and here with the latest on the NBA finals.  Tonight in Milwaukee Giannis Antetokumpo and his supporting cast have a chance to close out Chris Paul and the Phoenix Suns, and capture the cities first NBA Championship in 50 years. 

This evenings key points remain the same, as Chris Paul and Devin Booker must put the team on their backs in order to force our favorite teen in all of sports….. Game 7.. 

As far as Milwaukee goes, their defense needs to continue its lock down play and contain the future Hall of Famer in Paul. 

It will be fascinating to see what Phoenix head coach Monte Williams elects to do with his line up moves this evening, because when in a potential elimination game, you must pull out all the stops and pull no punches! 

Catch all the action this evening & 9pm et/6pm PT on ABC/ESPN radio..

Buckley up basketball fans!! And enjoy game 6!!!!!
