Going into tonight's contest, the Islanders didn't seem to stand a chance. Though they had won three straight (and actually looked halfway decent in doing so), the Wild were coming off of 11 straight wins. However, it appears that they may have gotten very lucky over the course of the streak, as they haven't exactly controlled play to a degree that would suggest they deserve to win 11 straight.
First Period: (Extremely Jean-Ralphio voice) MSG is the wooooooooorst
I love being able to watch this game right now

Well folks, MSG Networks missed most of the first period, other than a radio feed of Brendan Burke and Butch Goring.
