Well, if Ovechkin thought that the Phone Booth in DC was loud, he may need new eardrums after today. The Old Barn will be rocking, and fans have been honking the familiar "Let's Go Islanders" on their car horns since 8am. Playoff hockey at NVMC is back.
No lineups announced yet; expect Halak against Holtby. Cappy has hinted there could be some changes to the forwards. Hamonic not back and doesn't appear to be close. And then while Capuano said Grabbo is close, 84 himself said:
| "I still feel not great," Grabovski said Friday. "My conditioning is better. But I don't play for two months and I'm still not 100 percent. It's very hard to just jump in for the playoffs." |
Expect the Isles to come out aggressively.
| "I just thought for whatever reason . . . that we're a little too passive," Jack Capuano said. "As I told our guys, our identity hasn't been that all year. We're not a team that plays safe or sits back. We're a team that obviously wants to play on our toes. We want to dictate the pace." |
We'll close with Cal Clutterbuck's thoughts:
| We’re going to come with some pretty serious intensity in Nassau. It’ll be up to them to match us. |
To those of you attending today...bring it, loud and proud.
Let's Go Islanders!
Follow men's eyes
As they look to the skies
The shifting shafts of shining
Weave the fabric of their dreams... 
Will do, Fish. Will likely have to be prior to puck drop as I will be going on my friend's beer runs during the intermissions lol
Mike, Im in the last row, like I mentioned, I think in the red box seats. Therefore we can have a beer together. Although not sure I can hang with the peasants behind me. Is that allowed....lol.

Haha. If Jack Dawson can get in 1st class on the Titanic, I can find my way into the 200s.
Also, hows this for an omen.. my old man was a season ticket holder for all of the Cup teams. Used to travel locally with the team a lot (places like Toronto, Boston, etc). Turns out his seats (which he gave up when I was born just following the last Cup season) were 2 rows in front of mine in the same section. It's all coming full circle.
I will let you know tomorrow
Fish, still gonna be inexcusably late?
didn't you say you'd be there after the 1st period?
sweet!!!!
KW, what do you think of CDH the last couple of games?? Has he woken up?
Have to be staying there. They have a list.
I'm in 228.
Hickey was better yesterday but still is a midget and Strait is slowly going back to being Strait after a solid gm 1. So thats something to worry about.
1 last thing on Mr Nate "Igor" Smith, he's a porn photographer. So now Im calling bullshit on his open letter.
