Well - I saw that the number of hits were down.  For obvious reasons.

1.  The teams lack of good play

2.  The lack of entries on my part.

Well - I am sitting at the Jet Blue area of Orlando Airport, awaiting for my flight back home.  It was a real good trip.  Other than the loss in OT on Tuesday, and Billy Wagner’s PATHETHIC performance at the Mets Braves game yesterday, it was a great week.  The weather was superb.  High 70’s and low 80’s (today - it was the warmest day of the week - as we hit 85).

The Isles, well, they woke up last night.  Thank Goodness.  The question I have, is why didn’t they smach Yashin in the pie hole weeks ago?  He played well last night, and so did Kozlov too.  This is the type of effort that we need from here on out, if we expect to see some more hockey after April 8th.

We got a supposed cake walk against Philly, but they will take all comers very seriously.  They sure would like to play the role of spoiler.  What the Isles need to do, is put a strong first peiod effort out there, and take the Flyers out of their game.  The Booster Club is going to the game tomorrow (the first club trip that I have not attended in 17 years), we need to make their record 2-1-0 for the year.

Then Sunday, the Rangers, and Bobby Nystrom Award Presentation day.  I know who the winner is, and frankly, I can not tell you.  All I can say, is that it is not a goaltender….. Tune in Sunday night to find out….

Well - the next time I write, I will be back home.  Back to the cold days… Oh well - it was fun.  And by the way, the picture above was at our time share, the Marriott Grande Vista.  If you are looking for a time share property, they are the BEST, and slowly selling out completely, so time is of the essence if you wish to invest.  Please tell them I sent you!
