Wow, and I didn’t think last night’s win could taste any sweeter. But after that link, ha!

The Sens Nation seems to be in a malaise … all those years of patiently watched early exits, then the “on the cusp” Finals loss was followed by last year’s ugly exit. Now there is a “our window passed” feeling.

Guess their press tries to lift their spirits by beating on “sad sacks” south of the border (commonly known as the United States).

1) Nice to see the Isles win where they have had little success in the past. Especially with the gloating press anticipating a win by the locals. People in glass houses shouldn’t shhot pucks!
2) Maybe they need to reassess their own teams futility. How many Cups in Kanata in 16 years of hockey? By that time(16 years) the Isles were finished with their dynasty. At least you guys can look back at that with pride.

@bigpuck

Thanks for the well wishes – hopefully you are a Habs fan – as they are my favorite Canadian team. I don’t hate the Leafs, but it’s the closest to Islanders-Rangers rivalry as you can get.

I’m Canadian and was glad to see the Islanders smack those Senators around like a rag doll – Canada’s most hated team – best wishes for your team to get more in the W column

Yea and if they win on Saturday – a big fat middle finger to the Ottawa press.

Pock is definately gone for two games – unintentional or not….Ruutu just got the same.

Strong play in all zones, on the power play, penalty kill and even strength. This was a complete game if there ever was one. However, one detail – too many penalties.

Cannot wait for Saturday.

First time they played all 3 periods in a while. I now have a newfound hatred for the Senators for the way they showed no respect to the Isles.

1 more win in Saturday and we’re tied with Ottawa with 14 points.

Bailey looks great tonight, I see no reason why he couldn’t stay up – he is leaps and bounds better than Comrie has been.

@Islanders Outsider

It is?? LOL

Seriously, I am just losing my patience with all these “professionals” and their dumping on the team. Granted, sometimes it is deserved – but it’s just getting really annoying now.

NYI is the common abbreviation for the New York Islanders? Who knew?! Explains that whole NYI Blog Box thing.

Man, these Ottawa broadcasters are just dumping on the Isles right now….pausing only briefly to mention their 4 cups…

Forgot to congratulate Bailey on his first NHL point – the assist for Okposo’s goal…

Finally got our first goal on our 14th shot on goal…atta boy Okposo.

Pretty good first period thus far.
