Wow, that was incredible. I’m sorry for the delay in posting this, folks. I had only a few beers, so I am not hungover from booze. I’m really just recovering from that atmosphere last night.
The New York Islanders hosted the first official playoff game UBS Arena had ever seen—last Wednesday, when the Montreal Canadiens came to town with a playoff berth on the line, was pretty close, but not an official playoff game—and the Islanders did not disappoint, although they made it tense. Great theater.
The building was so loud after Kyle Palmieri’s game-winner and especially after Matt Martin’s insurance marker.
