New York Islanders Tickets

With Adrian Aucoin and Roman Hamrlik gone from the blueline, The Islanders worked quickly to replace them with the addition of Alexei Zhitnik, Brent Sopel and Brad Lukowich. New York also added some much-needed scoring punch in Miroslav Satan and Mike York. They could be the key in making high-priced centre Alexei Yashin produce again. This season could very well be a breakout year for netminder Rick DiPietro. He has displayed a lot more maturity over the last couple of years and led the U.S. all the way to the semifinals at the 2005 World Hockey. The Islanders' success depends greatly on how he performs this season.
