But with Drouin out of the lineup, Gatcomb has returned to the lineup and has given the Islanders' fourth line a spark. In the four games since his recall, Gatcomb has recorded a team high 22 hits, including nine in Tuesday's OT win against the Vegas Golden Knights, the most for the Islanders since Casey Cizikas back in January. In fact, through five games this season, Gatcomb has registered 22 hits, seventh most of any Islander this season.
We did everything right. We had a lot of shots. We had a lot of chances. We just came up short, Pucks did not bounce our way, I want to be honest. I like the way we are playing. I love the way we compete. Sometimes you have to throw pucks at the net and find ways to get those rebounds. There was urgency, and we needed a shot from the top.
The devastating news regarding Kyle Palmieri's injury has hit the New York Islanders like a ton of bricks. The sobering news has put a serious damper on what has been a good season for the Isles so far. Palmieri joins Alexander Romanov as the second Islanders lineup regular to go down for pretty much the remainder of the season. That's no bueno to say the least. But beyond the crushing effects on the lineup itself, missing Palmieri could also lead to other effects.
Having won three of four on their recent homestand, the Caps now hit the road, stopping in Long Island before jetting off to the West Coast for three against the California teams. Before they can get to California dreamin', however, they'll need to deal with a rambunctious Islanders squad that is right behind the Caps in the tight Metro Division standings (and Wild Card race).
The Oval Office gaggle wasn't supposed to change anything. It was supposed to be content President Donald Trump and his newly elected progressive foil, each performing the roles cable news has spent months codifying. Conservative media had already settled on its narrative. The White House press corps arrived expecting friction, spectacle, maybe even fireworks. What they got instead was a different story not about conflict, but about alignment.
Scores of protestors converged upon the synagogue, where Nefesh B'Nefesh, an organization that assists Jewish immigration to Israel, held a scheduled event. Many protestors wearing face masks held Palestinian flags and chanted messages such as Globalize the Intifiada and Death to the IDF, per numerous online videos. The incident prompted an NYPD response, with online videos showing officers actively separating the demonstrators from a smaller group of counter-protesters.
I want to thank [the PAC] for their partnership in raising up the issue of how we regulate an incredibly powerful technology so that the future is one that benefits all of us,
Tisch immediately brought a steady, competent hand to One Police Plaza. She shook up the brass and removed chiefs and other high-ranking officials tied to scandal and corruption. She worked with Mayor Adams to tackle the staffing crisis head-on, reforming the recruitment process to help address the biggest exodus of NYPD officers in more than 30 years. Most importantly, Tisch helped lead the NYPD to historic drops this year in murders, shootings and other violent crimes.
The amended bill is such a no-brainer that it should even pass a brainless legislature; all it requires is for repeatedly and excessively reckless drivers to have their cars rendered unable to be driven recklessly. It doesn't take away the car; it doesn't suspend a license; it doesn't raise insurance fees. It just makes the car itself less able to a death machine.
