Probably the first of a few posts relating to the joke organization that is the New York Islanders. But basically,
this perfectly clean check...
and this mutually agreed upon fight, which was preceded by Rick DiPietro's cheap shot on Matt Cooke (I know, sounds funny, but tis true)...
led to these premeditated and cowardly acts of retribution:
Matt Martin's Bertuzzi-like blind-side assault on Talbot...
Some minor league call-up...a hack named Gillies...flying elbow and subsequent punches to the back of a knocked out Eric Tangradi. Gillies is so tough, he taunts the concussed player as the trainer attends to him...
What an embarrassment. Apparently, this was the Islanders' first Stanley Cup appearance since 1984, so their fans are pretty happy about this. Garth Snow is proud of the restraint his Islander team showed, and they will be raising a banner in their honor at the Nassua Coliseum when they return home Thursday to play the Bruins. Plenty of good seats are still available.
