As can be read here on SI.com, Islanders rookie Kyle Okposo has picked UNC to win it all in the NCAA's.
Okposo: "I'm going with North Carolina. They're my boys and I should have never doubted them."

And as you can see here on Newsday.com, Radek Martinek beat out John Maine, Okposo and Funny Cide amongst others to win Newsday's Bracket Challenge. Okposo only beating out a horse is something that needs to be looked into.

ROAD TRIP BLOG: Day 2 / Isles at Avs
Saturday, January 5
The Islanders face-off against the Colorado Avalanche, who will be sans Joe Sakic and Captain Colorado Ryan Smyth, tonight at the Pepsi Center in Denver, CO. The Islanders will use the same lineup as they did on Thursday night. Here are some other notes:
-----
The big talk at the morning skate was the altitude – and yes you really do feel it. Ted Nolan said the game plan would be for guys to take quick shifts of no more than 30 seconds. According to the local media, teams don’t feel the altitude’s effects until the second period when the Avs take advantage. Of their 115 goals scored this season, 49 have been netted in the second period. They have scored 27, 37 and 2 in the first period, third period and overtime, respectfully.
-----
Wade Dubielewicz returns to Denver for the first time as a player since his colligate career at Denver University. Dubie won a couple of WCHA goaltending titles here and was a finalist for the Hobey Baker Award.
-----
Newsday’s Greg Logan tried tracking down Smyth, but was unable because of Colorado’s team policy of not allowing injured players to talk to the media. Someone should have reminded them that the New York media doesn’t care about his injured ankle. Logan did speak with Nolan and GM Garth Snow and is a resourceful reporter, so he should have something on his blog or in a story later at Newsday.com.

(Corrected, thanks to Peter Botte of the NY Daily News... I added an extra "0".. opps.)
Miles traveled yesterday: Roughly 1,800 from Long Island to Denver.
Miles to be traveled tonight/tomorrow morning: Roughly 1,036 from Denver to Edmonton.

MEDIA: Logie’s Coverage
Moncton, NB – With all the talk of blogs today, I’d be remiss if I didn’t mention Greg Logan, his coverage in Newsday and his Newsday.com blog.
Greg provides excellent coverage on multiple levels for the Islanders on a daily basis.
If it wasn’t for the success of his blog, the NYI Blog Box idea might never have come up. Did you know Neil Best reported on Newsday.com that the Islanders Blog gets the most hits on the website.
Greg travels by himself to cover the Islanders and is away from his family just as long as the team is, if not a little longer sometimes.
From all NYI fans out there, thanks Greg for the coverage.
OK, enough of all of this "thanking" for now...
