If it get to that point two rounds from now, I happen to fear the Islanders’ chances against the Bruins more than I’d fear a matchup with the Maple Leafs.
That said, was I relishing last night, and envisioning an Alanis Morisette-style “You Oughta Know” video set to lowlights of the guy who ditched the Island to join Toronto’s annual crash against the Bruins?
You bet. Sorry for your loss, not sorry.
I’m focused on the next round now, but am happy that the legions of Toronto fans and media who never got the Islanders’ fan perspective nor ever bothered to inquire can now go gently into that golf night.
