Islanders News: Backstrom to life, Backstrom to reality

Meet me at the National Mall.

Remember what I wrote in yesterday's Bits about hockey being unbearably evil... Anyway, it's on to Washington for Game 5 on Friday tied at 2 games apiece. Don't let that score obscure what has been some very solid play from the Islanders throughout the series. No one said it would be easy.
