A Bright Future Ahead

“Sidney Crosby said to me, ‘You guys have a heck of a team.’ To have him recognize that – and even tell us that – it was pretty neat,” McDonald said.

Several of the Penguins players and coaches said similar things in the line. Though the obvious was staring the Islanders in the face – they had been eliminated from the first round of the Stanley Cup Playoffs – the comments from the team advancing to the next round added to the optimism that has taken over around Uniondale.

“Hopefully he told every guy in the line that same thing because it’s true,” McDonald said. “We have a great team here and I’m really looking forward to seeing how we perform next season.”

There’s nothing better then getting a text from the equipment staff during their post-season locker room cleanup.

The only question for this team-issued gem is, “to ebay, or not to ebay?”

I think we all know the answer to this one…

Always get it signed first, then ebay.

Does the fact that it’s a medium make it seem less authentic?

…we’ll just say it was Keith Aucoin’s.

If only I wore a size 11 or 12 shoe, I could wear a new pair of Islanders Zigs every day. Not too many 9.5s floating around the storage room.

More news crews came to film an empty locker room on clean-out day than came to any single regular season game.

Thank You Playoffs.

We can’t expect things just to come again next year… We got a young group, some great players, great character in this room and I think if we all bring that again next year and we push ourselves and understand that it’s going to take even more from us, I like where we’re headed and our opportunities going forward.
