Trade deadline came, and we left two players to the better. Tyler Kennedy is assigned the old Vanek/Moulson number of 26, and Neuvy is #30 in your programs, #1 in your hearts.
Back to work, boys. Dallas may not be in a playoff position, but they're a talented team, despite not having Seguin in their lineup. This is the sprint to the finish with the MSG gang and the Crying Marios. I'm not sure I care if the Isles end up in first place or not, but certainly want a strong showing heading into the money season.
Jaro Halak gets the start; Viz in for Strait, and Kennedy is in for Mallrat. Cappy suggests the lines will be: 27-91-12; 40-51-26; 86-18-13 and 17-29-15. Interesting.
I like Kennedy already, who when asked about a possible playoff matchup with the Pengos:
| You always want to beat your old team, and we have the team here to do that. |
Garth also has belief in this club and wasn't willing to make any major alterations to the roster, saying:
| (The team) deserved an opportunity to build off what they started here in the first three quarters of the season. There's a lot of good chemistry. There's a team in that locker room and we didn't want to delete any of the players out of it if we couldn't. |
Let's Go Islanders!
All I know is that sometimes you have to be wary
Of a miracle too good to be true
All I know is that sometimes the truth is contrary
Everything in life you thought you knew
All I know is that sometimes you have to be wary
'Cause sometimes the target is you.

We've been in the penalty kill for a good portion of the game and we're short players. Let's keep it together and get points out of this.
Said same thing
Not that I don't agree... but when we're nitpicking about the play of a l4 player, I think it's mostly because lines 1-3 aren't playing up to par

Except when I watch Bridgeport play. We need Cizikas back badly. Then you plug in Kennedy for cmd and wait for KO and Grabbo.
