New York Islanders game 1 of the first round of the NHL Stanley Cup playoffs.
I'm waiting with anticipation.
True, the Islanders have drawn the worst possible team to go up against in the first round - Pittsburgh Pengiuns (way ahead on points and games won this year and playing an amazing game).
True, the Islanders haven't really got a team with any experience of playing in the Stanley Cup - only one team member and their netminder have done so before.
True, they haven't even made it to the Stanley Cup playoffs since 2007.
But, Sid Crosby - the Penguins all start high scorer - broke his jaw playing against the Islanders in the last regular season game (1 day before on March 30) and is out of play at the moment. That's got to help, right?
Wrong.
News headlines like the NY Daily News site's "NY Islanders get destroyed by Pittsburgh Penguins in first playoff appearance since 2007" don't help!!
Oh well. Onto game 2..
