A complete 180 from last game as the #Isles dominate the Devils 6-0! Sorokin was excellent and all 4 lines produced. (This will be the formula for wins this season). A fantastic home-opener! 🦞🦞🦞🦞🦞🦞

Really rough game for the #Isles tonight. Struggled to generate much of anything in the offensive zone. Need to be way better. Romanov, Pulock, and Schenn stood out as being unprepared, slow, and sloppy. Only can go up from here, I guess.

The #Isles are back! The Transition Year™️ Buzzer's 🔑's to the season: - Stay healthy - DeBoer defense - Schaefer, Sorokin play like the superstars they are - Ritchie, Holmstrom need to cement top-6 status - Barzy, Bo over 70 points - Prospects start hitting - Eklund, Eiserman, Aitcheson, etc.

After a dynamite training camp, it appears Victor Eklund has made the NHL roster. The future is now! #Isles

Victor Eklund should make this team. He’s already better than half of the forward group, at least. #Isles

The lighthouse wins. Let’s hope they give the design to a real professional and touch it up, especially the numbers. #Isles

The 4 finalists. All navy. So disappointing. What’s with navy??? Top row far better, but still very underwhelming. #Isles

Isles Buzz @islesbuzz.com · 12/08/2026

Yeah really underwhelming! So tired of navy (not in our color scheme) and the other ones look like they were designed by AI. Saw far better options out there. I hope the white fisherman’s coming out this year are made a permanent third jersey and these fan designs are a seldomly worn 4th option.

The #Isles have signed 2026 first round selection, Malte Gustafsson, to a 3-year entry level contract. If he returns to Sweden this season, the contract slides back 1-year (just like Eklund last season). The future of the blue line is taking shape!

Isles Buzz @islesbuzz.com · 01/07/2026

Good. #Isles already have way too many middle-6 forwards as is.

#Isles signing right-shot defensemen Matt Kessel to a 1 x $850K (one-way) deal per @notfriedgehnic.bsky.social. Some flexible RHD depth.

Matias Maccelli is signing with the #Isles per @notfriedgehnic.bsky.social. 25 year old winger with decent upside.

Isles Buzz @islesbuzz.com · 01/07/2026

Filled the role of captain with grace, heart, and passion. Never had to worry about his effort and genuinely loved the island. Anders Lee gave the organization much needed stability after #he left us high and dry. A quintessential Islander and a standup human being. Thank you, Ders! #Isles

A 6' 4" shutdown defensemen who models his game after Victor Hedman is exactly the type of player you want in your system. #Isles Day 2 of the NHL Draft starts at 11:OO AM on NHL Network and ESPN+.

Isles Buzz @islesbuzz.com · 27/06/2026

With the 13th overall selection in the 2026 NHL draft, the #Isles select Malte Gustafsson! He is a 6’ 4” puck carrying defensemen who is not afraid to throw his body around. As a left handed shot, Darche does not address the biggest hole in the organization.

Isles Buzz @islesbuzz.com · 26/06/2026

It's draft day! Today won't be as franchise altering as last year, but the #Isles still have the opportunity to select an elite player with pick #13. There is a chance GM Mathieu Darche trades the pick for an NHL ready player, but that is far less likely. 7:00 PM EST on ESPN.

Varlamov picks up a 5-2 win (18/20 saves) in his conditioning stink down in Bridgeport. What a moment for him! As Darche said, he could’ve easily called it quits and collected his paycheck for the next 2 years. He put in the hard work just for a chance to return to the show. Happy for him! #Isles

#Isles have signed Quinn Finley, 2022 3rd round pick, to a 2-year ELC. They are also about to sign 2025 2nd round pick, Danill Prokhorov, to a 3-year ELC. Hamilton will have a fun team to watch in their inaugural season.

Isles Buzz @islesbuzz.com · 13/04/2026

A massive question mark: #Isles New GM and President, Mathieu Darche, had an up and down first year. The Noah Dobson trade and new coach hire were home runs, but his trade deadline left much to be desired. What is his vision for this team? Veteran-focused or prospect heavy. We simply have no clue.

140

Isles Buzz @islesbuzz.com · 13/04/2026

Some negatives: #Isles After Schaefer, the defense is shocking. Pelech and Pulock have their moments, but they are aging out. Mayfield, Soucy, and Boqvist are just plain dogshit. DeAngelo and Romanov are whatever. Scoring or lack thereof. The PP is a joke and this team has no secondary production.

130

Isles Buzz @islesbuzz.com · 13/04/2026

Some positives: #Isles Ilya Sorokin is genuinely a top-3 goaltender in this league. On a better team, he runs away with the Vezna. World class talent. Matthew Schaefer. I mean come on! A gem, a superstar, a franchise defensemen. Future C. Great bounce back year from Barzal after a serious injury.

140

Isles Buzz @islesbuzz.com · 13/04/2026

This season exposed what we've all known for years. The #Isles have an abysmal defense core and a forward group that is incapable of producing when it matters. Strong seasons from Sorokin, Schaefer, Barzal, and Horvat were not enough to cover up those flaws. Darche has his hands full. A thread:

Isles Buzz @islesbuzz.com · 12/04/2026

Genuinely curious about your thoughts: should/will the #Isles bring back their captain, Anders Lee?

220

Isles Buzz @islesbuzz.com · 11/04/2026

Barzal makes $9.15M and Horvat makes $8.5M. #13 has 70 points and #14 has 30 goals. I understand that people are frustrated, but they are not the problem. Those contracts rock. Darche needs to make big changes, but trading for pieces that complement them is smarter than moving on from them. #Isles

3-7 in their last 10. Franchise goalie hung out to dry. A coach who plays favorites, doesn’t understand his team’s strengths, and can’t make in-game adjustments. A future hall of famer franchise defensemen that hides very clear roster flaws. Old, slow, complacent locker room. No scoring. #Isles
