I think now, I am just about 100% better (except for the raspy voice).  That will take some time –

Well - another ‘Satan’ic win against the Devils….

i don’t know if the Isles had a scorer of 3 consecutive GWG’s.  Maybe Bossy, but I don’t really know.

Right place at right time syndrome is working well, and points in 8 straight games, is just what the doctor ordered.  Solid play from all 4 lines up front, and 3 in the back.

None of the experts thought we would go 9-4 in the first sixth of the season…..

Yes we are behind the Rangers, but 4 games in hand, going into Philly tonight.

For the Isles to succeed, skating will be paramount.  Creating chances, and eluding the ‘over physicality’ that the Flyers can dish up.  Maybe we can pull off another ‘0′ penalty game…  Probably not, but keeping the discipline, and not making the mad effort to stop a blown assignment with a tug or hold, will be what the Isles will need to do, in order to succeed tonight.

In order to get to Biron, the Isles need to attack on him.  Force him to get out of position.  The Flyer D is ok, but are beatable.  20 shots on goal, will not win this game; that number will need to be at least 50% larger.

Other Rambling thoughts:

• Can you believe that the Rangers FINALLY won a ROAD game?  The LAST team in the league to do so….  Is all of the hype for this team for real?  Makes you wonder.  I thought that the doors were supposed to blow off the east with them.  Again - you can assemble an all-star team, but can you make them win.  (ask a Yankee fan about that for the last 7 years????)
• Giants looked BAD in the 2nd half against the Cowboys.  Well - TO looked good…
• At least the Jets did not lose!
• Where did the Blue Jackets come from this year?  Must be the “peca” effect….
• Luongo looks awfully human this season?  As does Mr. Brodeur…

Metro Mug Update:

Have a great day all - enjoy the game tonight!
