Islanders 7
Bruins 2
Five seconds into the game, there were three fights. Some would say it was a statement about injured teammate Rhett Rakhshani (Brett Gallant vs.Tyler Randell ) and all around Islander pride. So many players have impressed with their efforts.
The team play, especially crisp passing and special teams were much improved over last night’s game. The positives were the play of Strome, McNeely, DiBenedetto and Nilsson who seemed to improve throughout the game. Cizikas had another strong game and I thought Romano and Kichton made their presence felt as well. de Haan is so steady and Kabanov seems to be improving each time I see him play.
Negatives were Katic suffering a separated shoulder and Theoret leaving the ice, reason unknown at this point.
