Despite losing their 6th straght game last night in Tampa, Islanders fans still have some reasons to smile about this season.1. The Isles are just 5 points out of the 8th playoff spot in the Eastern Conference.
2. Last year the Isles played 82 games and won 26, this season the Isles have played 57 games and won 23 (will that 26th win ever come?).
3. In 2008 the Isles goals against was 279 in 82 games, this season its 177 in 57 games.
4. Robbie Schremp is an Islander.
5. In 2008 the Isles finished with 61 total points, this season they have 54 points in 57 games.
6. Islanders fans understand that a trade to make the playoffs isn't what we want anymore. We have a great bunch of talented kids that will one day bring the cup back to Long Island.
7. Its Friday.
8. No Islanders except Mark Streit will be in the Olympics, so a good vacation and lots of rest may help the team for the playoff race March.
9. Justin Kohn got physical against Tampa last night.
10. MSG + showed Al Arbour on TV last night to remind Isles fans that the 80's weren't that long ago.
Isles play Carolina at home Saturday night at 7PM.
