The inevitable became the present last night as the New York Islanders were officially eliminated from playoff contention with seven games left in this cursed season.
The team headed north of the border for a quick pair of games in the hockey centers of Montreal and Toronto, with results that reflected how this season has gone: A tight win (and Sorokin shutout) over the non-playoff Canadiens, then a too-little loss against the playoff-bound Leafs.
