Just curious what our readership thinks of these games.
The New York Islanders played an afternoon game at home on Monday, which was Columbus Day in the U.S. and Thanksgiving Day in Canada. (It may have been a holiday of some kind in many other countries, but I'm not that worldly and it takes a special kind of dedication for our non-North American friends to follow a team in the Eastern time zone.)
It's something they've done a lot over the years -- including other Monday bank/school holidays -- during the ownership of Charles Wang.
