Hey guys! Sorry I haven't written much over the last few weeks, but my server has been down, just like the Isles have been. Anyways, I'm looking forward to sharing my thoughts, expressions and critiques for the second half of the season with you all!
Let's re cap a bit what has been going down. the Isles have skid down a patch of black ice and into a bottomless pit coated in quicksand. In other words, are the league's worst team and must get on a roll, NOW. Let's take a look at some info regarding the team from the last month. Backup turned starting goalie Joey Big MacDonald has pulled a groin and is now on the bench. Third string goalie Dannis has played the last few games and looks as if he will start a few more, to say the least. The Islanders have dressed 5 different goalies this year. On a side note, Mark Streit, however, has been a silver lining on the cloud of doom that has hungover the Isles for the season, being named a starter for the Eastern Conference in last week's all star game. Streit was very productive in returning back to Montreal, posting two assists in the game. Once booed when the Islanders visited the Canadiens earlier in the season, he received great ovation during the opening ceremonies.
The Islanders, oddly, have won their last two games and look for a three game winning streak tomorrow versus Florida. Almost blowing a four goal lead into the third last night, again against Atlanta, they were having troubles holding onto a big lead. Somehow, the Islanders squiggled out alive, with Okposo netting two goals in the 5-4 victory.
