The chance of the Islanders playing 500 hockey the rest of the way is "zero point zero". Just an update, they have won three in a row and I keep my predicition.

Bailey-to-Okposo will do it over and over again and kill the Tavheduch sweepstakes for the Islanders. It was a nice dream while it lasted.

Looking at the schedule I can't figure out where our next win is coming from. Record for the rest of the way...9-19-7. That gives us a record of 22-48-12. Not bad. I thought we'd only win 20 games.

It took Joey Mac's peformance in Nov.as one of 3 Stars of the Month in the entire NHL for just for the Isles to go 8-6-1 for the Month of Nov ... that means the Isles have only 5 ... yes FIVE!! wins the balance of the season ... October, December and January thus far. DP had one of 'em in December ... Danis had one just before the All-Star break ... so that means Joey Mac only had 3 wins the rest of the games. With J-Mac coming back from injury ... and probably sharing the 35 games in a 55%-45% platoon with Danis ... I just can't see the Isles even pulling in another 13 wins as I stated before ... I might have to scale that back to 9 or 10 games ... The sad thing is .. Atlanta and Ottawa are only 8 points away from the Isles ... they pretty much stink to high heaven too. Tonight's game to me ... if Isles beat Atlanta that seperates the teams by 6 points ... with the Isles holding 2 games in hand ... the race for last is closer than it appears.

This, of course is just what the team doesn't need. Personally, I think there's a 15% chance they play .500 or better the rest of the way. With no real NHL goaltender currently healthy, it's going to be interesting. But it's not about results - it's about seeing the young guys really start to progress as players now that this is clearly their team.

I think about 10 wins is a reasonable number. And being the skeptical Islander fan that I am, I predict that even if we finish last we're not getting the top pick. 10% and even less than that if some of the veterans are traded at the deadline.
