Momentum was there – a victory on the previous night – I said to myself,
Self — Maybe we can get a road win…???
Erm, uh NO!
Team was, in a word, BAD!
The only plus I will give will be to Josh Bailey, for finally getting off the schneid and getting a Shortie when he took advantage of a Halak gaffe.
A draw for Biron. Although he gave up 5, some of his 38 saves were brilliant!
Martinek, although I praised him the other day – he was horrible, and he knew it. I think Bruno may have learned his lesson, and may see some playing time. Maybe giving a Martinek or Witt a scratch here and there – may draw some reflection.
Well – write this day off and get ready for the Caps – that should be exciting. Well at least the building may be close to a sell out from what I have heard. Why not – they want to see JT! – oh yeah, I forgot Ovie!
Have a great hockey day folks!
Gary Harding is the “EYES” of the eyesonisles.com blog.
A former President of the Islanders Booster Club, and a season ticket holder for over 20 years, Gary qualifies as a ‘long suffering’ Islander fan. He, and his wife, Claire, sit in row A of Section 317, and attend just about every game possible, as well as a few road games in the year, too.
He has been a member of the “Islanders Blog Box” since 2008; a project that allows bloggers like him, to be able to obtain media cridentials to Islander home games, and get the perspective of reporting a game, just as if he is a full blown member of the media.
Gary, born and raised in Levittown, on Long Island, has been working for a major car rental company for almost 25 years. He has been married to Claire for almost 5 years. They met on a bus trip to see the Islanders play in Montreal. Gary also is a fan of the New York Mets, Long Island Ducks, New York Jets, Everton of the English Premier League, and is a big fan of the Fighting Irish of Notre Dame. Gary is also an accomplished bowler, having achieved perfection on May 4th, 1994, by bowling a perfect 300 game. His highest league average ever was 216, and highest series was 798.
Favorite Isles Moment – Everyone says the cups. They were great. However, I was not a season ticket holder, or going to the games, so my favorite, was the 1993 march to the semi’s – beating Washington and Pittsburgh – the best was seeing Darius Kasparitis punching Lemieux like a rented Mule!
Favorite All time Isles player – Tie – Bossy on Offense, and Glenn Healy at the net.
Favorite Current Isles player – Okposo and JT – of course – and with every day appreciating the play of Andrew MacDonald
Favorite NHL City – Not Long Island – Vancouver with a close second to Ottawa – followed by Montreal (spot a pattern here?)
Favorite player – not an Islander (I like watching Ovie! – He is animated, funny and makes his mark)
Team I hate the most (what do you think?)
Gary currently resides in Halesite, Long Island. His e-mail address is
