Nassau County, Islanders unveil plans for new arena Wed May 11 15:09:35 2011 EST
Mineola, NY (Sports Network) - A new arena for the New York Islanders is at the heart of a development plan announced Wednesday. Islanders owner Charles Wang was among those to announce what the team called a "major" economic development and job creation plan, which will be put to a public vote this summer. The plan calls for the public to finance the improvements, and for the Islanders to compensate residents by paying Nassau County a share of each dollar generated at the new arena. This money

Now, the Detroit Red Wings have a chance to join the 2010 Flyers and two other NHL clubs (1942 Toronto Maple Leafs, 1975 New York Islanders) as the only teams to ever win a series after trailing 3-0. Detroit's trump card for Thursday's Game 7 in San Jose is quite possibly the best all-around hockey player in the world, Pavel Datsyuk. Datsyuk has been the best player for Detroit

The Philadelphia Flyers pulled off the feat last spring against Boston, becoming the first team to achieve the ultimate comeback since the 1975 New York Islanders. The Red Wings had a mediocre 21-14-6 record as the host during the regular season, and dropped to 2-1 at the Joe in the playoffs after Wednesday's loss. San Jose has a perfect 4-0 mark on the road this postseason and was 23-14-4 as the gue

In all due respect to Mike Smith and Dan Ellis, it's safe to say the Lightning wouldn't have escaped the first round if general manager Steve Yzerman hadn't acquired the veteran netminder from the New York Islanders. The same could be said of several players who have made an impact in the postseason - that's just the way Yzerman's reconstruction has unfolded in his first year on the job.

Dwayne Roloson stopped 29-of-32 shots to continue his stellar postseason for Tampa, which acquired the veteran backstop in a trade with the New York Islanders in January. The 41-year-old backstop is 7-3 with a 1.92 goals- against average and .943 save percentage in these playoffs. Alex Ovechkin, Mike Knuble and John Carlson scored in the loss for the Capitals, who have not been swept since losing

Down 3-0 in the series, then down 3-0 in Game 7, the Flyers shockingly rallied to win the decisive game 4-3 and move on to the conference finals.

The 1942 Toronto Maple Leafs and the 1975 New York Islanders were the only NHL teams to overcome 3-0 deficits to win a best-of-seven playoff series.

Here they are again, one year later ... in the same round.

The Bruins, of course, want to put the series to rest. They'll get an extra shot of motiv
