Although I still believe that Kyle should have stayed in Bridgeport and help that team make the playoffs, I will not refuse to welcome his presence.

This is our future, and it is a good thing to give him a taste of the NHL life. A life that we all hope will be filled with promise, great expectations and lots of goals and assists for Islander blue and orange.

Should be an interesting game, with Toronto playing still for their playoff lives and without the services of Captain Sundin and goal scorer Andropov, who are out nursing injuries.

It should be a little relief for the D to not have to worry about those players. However, you are going to have guys that are going to try and fill big shoes, because as faint as it still is for the Leafs, they can win some games in a row and make some interesting fights for the 8th and final playoff spot (remember last year>????)

It should be fun tonight… I will miss the home game on Monday, as I will be in the Caribbean soaking sun and recharging batteries. Win one for me, Isles!
