This one is for Islanders fans.
Oh, sure, the players, coaches, executives and support staff share in the excitement of a Game 7 for the right to advance to the Stanley Cup Final, which is where the Islanders find themselves in Tampa on Friday night.
They are the ones who have done the actual work. So good for you, Lou Lamoriello, Barry Trotz and the others who draw paychecks for getting the team this far.
