Greetings, fellow Islanders fan earthlings.
Tonight we kick off the 2024-25 season, which is...{checks math, faints} the 17th NHL season in Lighthouse Hockey history.
Thanks for reading, for commenting, for lurking, for listening, for bringing the funny.
Back when we started, the Atlanta Thrashers were a thing, the Winnipeg Jets were history, and their successors were on their umpteenth owner-arena drama in Phoenix.
Tonight that franchise visits Long Island for the first time as Utah HC, or Utah Halitosis Chronicus, if you’re not into the whole brevity thing.
As Isles fans, we get to enjoy (we hope) the Isles debut of Anthony Duclair and the NHL debut of Maxim Tsyplakov, two offensive wingers who should add more spice and threat to the 2024-25 lineup.
