One simple word to describe the game.
I am just glad that the first few rows of my section are predominantly season ticket holders. Fights galore – the poor security guys deserve their pay – along with a little combat insurance.
Just happy with all of the effort – basically no negatives. Except Bruno is -10 in 7 games. That HAS to improve. Streit has not gotten on the score sheet – but is playing 26-29 minutes a game – and looks fine.
Great work by Hillen. He is improving by leaps and bounds!
Sorry Hank - JT 'whooshed' it by ya!
Moulson and JT - what can you say.
3rd period was a great effort. Glad to see it pay off in a big “W”.
Roloson was truly amazing last night. His veteran presence does help his guys in front of him, and when he has confidence, the rest of the team glows with it.
This always puts me in a better mood for the day – even if things are tough in the office, or whatever, having a big win against the Rangers makes a day lighter and happier.
Enjoy, Islander fans!

Indeed, Brilliant. I have to admit that I had my doubts, but as has been said all along, if we play with consistency and you toss a lot of confidence in with this team, we can beat Anyone on any given night. Imagine if we start getting Bailey and others to start scoring consistently? I think Streit will come along and start to contribute offensive like he did last season, and it’s just a matter of Bruno gaining his confidence back and showing the talent we know he possesses.
Overall, a truly Solid effort, especially by Rollie. JT’s goal was the kind of “big goal” this team needs at those important time. It was ironic because about five minutes before JT scored, I had turned to my brother and had said that these were the kind of points in a game where JT or Okposo need to score the “big goal” to me a statement.
Just two quick observations about the Rangers. I really have caught very little of them this season, but I must grudgingly admit that they are a better club than I believed them to be. However, I must also agree with a comment a friend of mine made Monday night when we caught some of the game against Phoenix in which he said that he felt the Rangers were playing “above their heads” and that they would come down aa bit s the season passes.
