FISHERMAN GONE WITH THE WAVES: ISLES TO BRING BACK OLD DUDS

          The Islanders wore the "old white, blue and orange
     uniform they likely will wear for good next season" last
     night in their home finale, according to Marc Berman of the
     N.Y. POST.  Although the team won't make an official
     announcement until its new ownership application is
     approved, team execs are "planning on going back to the
     classic duds next season" (Marc Berman, N.Y. POST, 4/17). 
     The current "wave" jerseys will "likely" remain as a third
     jersey next season (Ralph Vacchiano, N.Y. DAILY NEWS, 4/17).
          STARS WANT GREEN: Despite being "rejected once," Stars
     President Jim Lites said that the team plans to ask the NHL
     if they can wear "their lucky (and fast-selling) green
     sweaters for possible Game 5s and Game 7s" in the playoffs,
     according to Dave Caldwell of the DALLAS MORNING NEWS. 
     Lites said that the NHL's reasoning was that teams traveling
     to Reunion Arena for two games "would be required" to bring
     home and road jerseys, and also that the NHL "does not want
     to overexpose the new sweaters" (DALLAS MORNING NEWS, 4/17).
