The thing I love about Rick DiPietro is that he still thinks he’s a part of the team. The New York Islanders are stuck giving him a ton of money so at least he still bleeds orange and blue.
That’s part of what makes him the likable character that he is today. DiPietro has bitten the head of plastic rats, ripped off his suit to display a Greiss is right shirt, and you can normally catch him in a whacky color suit on the MSG Networks.
Tonight was nothing out of the ordinary for DiPietro. He needed a good luck charm, and frankly something to keep the Devil away.
