Okposo-Comrie-Comeau line was awesome.Three more lines like this and we can bring back four more Cups to The Island. About Kovalchuck... I used to work for his uncle in Brooklyn, who goes to every game Kovalchuck is in town, so he told me guy is dying to move to New York (especially his wife. Just saying... Nice period and a half.

P.S. I really, really, really would love to see Kovalchuk in an Islanders jersey! (I know its never going to happen :-( ) ...

He was not backed up by a second forechecker, which was noticed by me, Billy Jaffe, and probably Go-go. After that, the forecheck got relentless and showed some real grit down low, and of course it leads to the first goal in over 2 full games worth of time. Hope that this is the effort which continues in the third Just wanted to chime in that so far tonight, I thought the effort was awful UNTIL, a shift by Jeff Tambellini where he went hard in on a forecheck and did a great job knocking a much larger d-man off the puck.

There just aren't any "winnable" games on the horizon.
