We suck... MOST!

Islanders vs. Rangers.

If they need to beat anyone, it should be the Rangers. And this is at a curcial time where both teams need a momentum0building lift.

The Isles have dropped 4 of the last 5. Several games featured blowing early leads and letting the opposing teams score 5-6 unanswered goals!! The rangers have been on a losing streak and need to break out. Guess who comes out on top? Yup, the Raggies.

Irony:

A pre-game interview with Deb Kaufman features Brad Lukowich, formerly of the Cup-winning Bolts. When asked what must be done to win, Lukowich somewhat sheepishly admits the truth and says, "We need to play defensively."

Fast forward to somewhere in the game. Janne Niinimaa crushes a Rangers behind our net. Lukowich leaves his position to get to the puck. Of course, it gets kicked to the front where Straka (I think) roofs it over an inept DiPietro.

Nice way to play defensively, Brad.

The flood gates open. The Islanders' 2-0 lead turns into a 2-6 loss. Yes, 6 unanswered goals.

And they have the balls to try and foist season tickets on us.
