Boy, was I mad the other night. I always hate losing to the Washington Capitals, but I especially hate losing to them after being up 3-0, which the New York Islanders have now done three times in the last four seasons (all in January, peculiarly—the Devon Toews bird celly game comes immediately to mind).
The season-long five-game homestand concludes tonight with a visit from the league-leading Boston Bruins. I’m sure it will go really well. The Isles are 1-1-2 so far on this homestand. No rest, though, because they’re right back at it tomorrow night with a short trip up to see the Buffalo Sabres.
