First Two Games and Tonight.

I must say that I knew the Sabres would win game 1. But, I am extremely pleased with a split. The Sabres are so soft it is incredible. The first two games were complete contrasting images of each other. The first game the Islanders looked like they were fine with a loss and just wanted to feel out the Sabres, game 2 however, the Isles took it to the Sabres and played the way they have to. Bruno Gervais and Chris Campoli have been solid for the Islanders and I am happy to see Bruno get a goal. But the Player of the Game was Rick DiPietro. He really played extremely well and gave this team a lot of confidence.

Tonight is going to be interesting. The Islanders haven't won a home playoff game since 01-02. They split the first two games as the 8 seed in 02-03 against Ottawa and 03-04 against Tampa but went home and got hammered. The crowd should be insane, the question is will the Islanders play match the intensity of the crowd.

God Bless Those Involved in the Virginia Tech Shootings
Go Islanders.
