Behold, the power of SATAN!
I've had a hard-on to get this guy on the Islanders since 2001.
He's billed as a world-class winger but the fact of the matter is that it's just damned cool to have someone named "Satan" on your team. Now, I'm not pagan or satanist or occultist nor a practitioner of Santaeria but you must admit, when you look at the paper or ESPN score ticker and see "Satan, 1PPG", it's pretty damned cool.
The only thing cooler maybe would be if Satan played for the Devils. Of course he'd have to be the captain but we don't want that since we're Islander fans.
But anyway, I remember during the lockout, Millbury and Stirling were making calls to season ticket holders. Pretty good PR move though I was skeptical when I got a call at work from a guy claiming to be Stirling.
After chatting for a bit, I could tell it was really him and not my dipshit friends trying to pull one over on me. I asked him when we were gonna get Satan to wing Yashin and I joked that if I were to win MegaMillions, I'd gladly pay for Satan's salary for one year.
Stirling laughed then abruptly said, "I'll hold you to it."
Uhoh. Me and my big mouth. But hey, if I win MegaMillions, I'd gladly do it. I'll write the check myself from inside my brand new Maybach.
Anyway, Satan is on board and, after much initial skepticism, he seems to be slowly waking. He currently only had 2 goals, both flukey, and didn't seem to be the killer sniper we were hoping for. But last night, he used his skill in the shootout and brought down the red-hot Rangers.
We got a win but a hard fought one. I was hoping to dominate but that just didn't happen. But the fact that we've got a "W" will hopefully create the momentum we need to get going as a team.
