QUOTES TO NOTE
This time of year everyone’s trying to find their game. Tonight I thought we took a big step to playing closer to the way we’ve been playing in the past.
But it just goes to show you, in the blink of an eye, it can get away from you. I don’t really have an answer for why, it’s a tough pill to swallow right now.
- Ryan McDonagh
We had some good chances, but it’s tough to sit after a game and lose and say that you’re happy with things.
There was good speed on the line, and in the first period we had a couple chances maybe to bury one, but we didn’t. We want to win the game.
We’re not really worried about the lines. If we’re winning, it takes care of itself.
- Brad Richards
I thought we got back to the way we needed to play. We had some sustained pressure, we did some things along the walls, we checked well.
We did a lot of good things. But when we were finding ways to win earlier, we’re finding ways to lose right now. So we just keep on banging away at it.
- John Tortorella

This is an important game we must win, as I think it will set the tone for the rest of the home stand.
Should be a fun game to watch nonetheless, I'll be in section 330.

Hope to see Hank in net, ice may be choppy after the Knicks game at 12.

2 points is a must. Hopefully Bruins get the job done against Pens too.

The Rangers haven't allowed 5 goals all season, they would do it against the Islanders?

Better question, how is Brian Boyle scoring two goals?

He'd be nothing without Tavares and Moulson to play with.

This team needs to dominate the Isles to get some confidence back. They need like a 6-0 game. Complete blow out for their sake and ours.

Devils 3 wins in a row
Flyers 5 wins in a row
Pens 8 wins in a row
I'm detecting a trend here.
These guys better get their **** together. Looks like they smell blood.
