Think the Islanders will be feeling good when they take the HSBC Arena ice tomorrow? They're coming off back-to-back wins over Montreal and Pittsburgh, and they won on the scoresheet and the fight card last night against the Penguins.
The Pens are having a calm day of practice in Central Park after their wild night on Long Island. There were 341 penalty minutes in the Islanders' 9-3 win over Pittsburgh and the NHL is certain to respond with some fines and suspensions. Eric Goddard of the Pens, in fact, is looking at an automatic 10-gamer for coming off the bench to give aid to goaltender Brent Johnson.
TSN has a terrific video recap of all the festivities that you can see at this link. A throwback night to the 70s.
