Rolling Along

For the two readers who might still check in, I am still alive. After five months of unemployment I got a paid, temporary full-time internship in the city, so that has been my life for the past month. It was fun commuting the first week, but now I'm kind of over it. And when I get home on game days, I miss the first period! But I DVR them.

It has been an exciting stretch of hockey for the New York Islanders, let me tell you that. Matt Moulson, Jack Hillen, Frans Nielsen, and yes, John Tavares have kind of exploded into great, groomed hockey players. What a joy it has been to watch them play.

We are currently 8-7-7, tied with the Rangers for 4th in the division, and we have more points than 9 other teams in the league. Now we're not going crazy, only a quarter of the season has been played, but I think a lot of us believed that we would not be in this position at this moment. Especially that losing streak to start the season. Next time I post could be an entirely different story.

Feel Good Video of the Day:

Cody Byrnes dropped the puck before the Isles/Rangers game, a kid who was allowed to leave his hospital room for the night, and got to meet all the guys after the game.
