Isles Draw First On Rivals


The Islanders didn't play a pretty game and they didn't have to. They displayed the little things that their cross town rivals don't often do. They made smart plays, they went to the net hard, and they were perfectly content winning an ugly game.

Dwayne Roloson did a fine job in the net and an even finer job of trying to break Sean Averys' leg.

John Tavares had a quiet game but was really solid in his own zone and is proving many people wrong (including me) with his stellar play in all zones.

The sequel tomorrow night.
