I miss laughing at the New Yorkers paying 10 bucks for a beer, and throwing it at anyone wearing another team's jersey. The Garden was always good for some real interesting away game stories.

Back in 94 when the Rangers were making their run at the cup, a few friends and I went to watch the Devs/Rangers game 7 conference final at some dive bar in Manhatten.

One of the guys was wearing a Devil's jersey and the bartender refused to serve him wearing it in his bar  :rofl :rofl

The NHL hasn't been glorious since Bobby Orr wrecked his knees.    Fewer teams, higher quality of play etc.   And no one like Orr since.  Was fun to be a hockey fan back then.

No big deal when you can afford a $10 beer. At one point in my life, I could. Course, I'd usually get pretty well hammered before the game, then just maintain my buzz for 3 periods.

Islanders are going down tonight.

Leafs 5-0-0  :aok

Don't think we are easy meat. We give 200% every night and it shows.

Isles 3-1-2, 8 points and currently leading the Atlantic division because of our fewer GP's and fewer regulation losses (Pittsburgh is 4-3-0), and moray I disagree with your statements regarding injuries. Yes, we even lost bailey tonight with a hip flexor (DTD), but the Isles posses such great stamina and such a fast system that its tough for opposing teams to get a grip. Toronto came out with a good strategy against us but came up short due to huge saves by Roloson.

Islanders scored 10 goals in their first 2 games, and kept the games against Washington and Pittsburgh a one goal affair. Even thought they lost both of those games, they showed they can fight against arguably the top 2 teams in the eastern conference (and in the game against pittsburgh, malkin and crosby were non factors for the most part as they were shutdown by our defensive play).

Don't count the Isles out, or Toronto, Florida, and Atlanta for that fact as well. I see good things happening for all 4 of these teams.

Great game tonight. Roloson was a beast!

Streak ends for the Leafs but still a much better start than last year.

good night of hockey, Islanders now improve to 4-1-2 with 10 points and are now in FIRST PLACE in the Eastern Conference. No Josh Bailey tonight either.

With all due respect to OV ( which I think is a much more solid player than Sidney Crybaby) Caps wont go anywhere this year without solid goaltending.

yea that new goalie we got is amazing his name is Neuvirth unfortunately he was sick for the 2 games against the Bruins. but in Varly's defense the Caps cant just rely on solid goaltender they need to help him out with some strong defense which they've lacked for years
