Islanders fans wanted to give Bailey away for a bag of pucks a few years ago. Good to see him killing it.

But good lord, something has to give with NYI. You can’t go a full season allowin almost 4 goals a game

I actually like the Islanders. Tavares is probably my favorite non Bruin, and of course they have Seidenberg and Boychuk. :cry:

I am looking forward to a game tonight, this is my first day back at work since December 15. Getting two weeks and a day off for vacation is nice, but returning after that is not so fun!

Always a lot of love for those two. Two big components of 2011:stanley:

There is some chatter that the Islanders will go back to Uniondale for the next 2 seasons until their new arena at Belmont Park is ready.

Easily the most likable Metro team.

No JB tonight hes on the IR, always loved watching his game even with the Isls, he just plays the game the right way.

The islanders tend to give up a lot of Goals so I have a good feeling the Bruins are going to welcome them in to the New Year with a barrage of Goals.

Go Bruins!:bruins:clap:

he plays with Tavares and Lee. I would never sign him to a lucrative extension. It would be like me going out on the town with Brad Pitt and George Clooney, I'd probably produce too.

Off tonight so get to watch from the living room sofa . Bruins always seem to play well against the Islanders and tonight should continue. I think getting some bodies back ( Krejci ) and surviving a mini slump by the first line will keep things rolling . Marchand and Pasta both score tonight . Bruins win 4-2 .

Brooklyn as a whole is overrated.
Juniors is incredibly overrated, but Brooklyn as a whole... we're gonna have to agree to disagree. I've been living in Brooklyn for 3 years now and I love it.

I'll be at the game tonight. Got a 3rd row seat behind the net (Islanders attacking twice side) for fairly cheap. My 4th live game (second featuring the Bruins) of the year.
