So the Islanders, huh? I’ll be honest, I really don’t have any feelings about the Islanders. I kind of feel bad for them for being the Islanders, but that is probably a holdover from a few years ago when they were absolute trash. Aren’t they kind of good now? Who knows? Who cares?
My only real memory of the Islanders is from a couple of seasons ago. Rick DiPietro was in rare form — healthy and playing a game. It was against the Penguins, and it ended up getting messy because there was a pretty big brawl. DiPietro for some reason decides that despite his inability to stay healthy, he should go and fight the Penguins goaltender.
