Come and saddle up this afternoon for some Sunday morning hockey. I can’t imagine what else you might have to watch at noon on a Sunday, so get ready to watch literally the Islanders play the Stars in a basketball arena. There is sometimes a cool car on the baseline, I mean “behind the hockey boards in this, a hockey rink.” So, keep an eye out for that.
The Stars play seven of their next eight games on the road, starting with a contest against the Islanders at noon today in Brookyln.
The Islanders are playing far better than expected, or perhaps we should say they have earned more points than expected, as their play seems to be a bit of a mirage: the Isles have the highest PDO in the league, and it’s not particularly close.
