There was a moment last night when the Islanders were just dominating and they’d outchanced the Devils a billion to one and I was about to tweet: “New Jersey Sabres.”
But the hockey gods always know when you’re about to be a pompous smartass making a cheap crack on a vacuous social media platform, and sometimes they even warn you before you {send tweet}. The Devils quickly scored two goals. Barry Trotz called a timeout and the Islanders soon got an insurance goal when Brock Nelson was left completely uncovered by New Jersey’s Sabresque defense.
It was a comfortable win with a few late blemishes, but it may be remembered for something else, depending on how badly Anders Lee is hurt.
