Folks, we are heading to the Stanley Cup Semifinals. The New York Islanders put on a clinic of Barry Trotz Clamps to shut down the Boston Bruins in Game 6 at the Coliseum, clinching their second straight series in front of 12,000 loud and faithful.
I was in attendance, and it was the first time I had ever seen in-person a handshake line that was not the end of the Islanders’ season.
The crowd was electric last night. It has to get in the minds of opposing teams and players (and now coaches, too—I am sure that Bruce Cassidy heard all the “New York Saints” chants).
