According to IslandersPointBlank.com they have scratches as Lee, Reasoner, Martinek, Boulton. Hopefully they are right.

Hope so. Any of those guys in the line up makes zero sense barring Martinek who was actually playing ok

Saw them during that tour

Me, too....saw them the first time at the Allentown Fair Grounds in PA....think it was like 1978. I am OLD ......

Oh, forgot something- I was listening to XM the other day, and they were talking about Ovechkin, and about how Milbury hates him and talks sh*t about him every time he's on TV. Of course, my first thought was....yeah, he hates Ovechkin.....but he loved Alexei Yashin......which is why I'd rather have a stuffed baboon in the GM's chair at the NVMC, instead of him. At least Ovechkin playing on Tavares' wing MIGHT have been worth Spezza AND Chara. Jackass......when we're not playing well, and you're killing Wang and Snow, always remember that Dinglebury is a VERY LARGE chunk of the reason why this team sucked for the last 20 years- likely upwards of 75%, in my opinion.

That was a crap call.

Game is completely living up to the hype. Fantastic energy.
Moulson, flat out robbed by Lundqvist there.

Tavares with the Okposo hattrick.. 2 falls, 1 dropped stick

He flubbed the shot.. nice save nonetheless

Completely. Isles had a "average" period. Feels like the Boston start. Hope to see the same type of adjustment in the second as the B's game.

Not too many quality shots.

Either way.

This is the way 2 teams fighting for a playoff spot are supposed to play.

Rangers doing a good job limiting JT's space. The second he touches the puck he's being swarmed.

It's the best way to play him. Make Boyes do something.

Boyes needs to step up. A little invisible out there. Like the way our D is playing so far. (No jinx)

Bad penalty by Tavares but where is the holding the stick call? when a player has the time to turn in complain to the ref that he's being held and still react with out a call there's a real problem

Wow.....this is some game. 1st goal may win.

Instant classic written all over it.

Streit has to send that puck low if he doesn't have a shot. Wasted way too much time
