An Important Day in NYI History
In 1975: Ed Westfall presents Philadelphia icon Kate Smith with a bouquet of roses before her performance of “God Bless America,” but the Flyers go on to win Game Seven, 4-1, and eliminate the Islanders in the Stanley Cup Semifinals. Al Arbour salutes his team’s maturity by saying, “If I called a practice next week, every one of them would show up.”
In 1993: David Volek scores at 5:16 of overtime as the Islanders stun the Pittsburgh Penguins, who were the two-time defending Stanley Cup Champions, four games to three in the Patrick Division Final.

Make It Seven?
Makeitseven.ca is the website that has stirred the pot in hockey circles in the last 24 hours as Jim Balsillie tries to hijack the Phoenix Coyotes.
How this rollercoster ride will stop is anyone's guess. My feeling is the NHL will eventually win, the Coyotes will stay where they are and that they'll be a successful team in the playoffs next season. But who really knows...
What I do know is that this little thing called the Internet will make it an enjoyable ride for those on the outside.
TSN.ca, AZCentral.com and any Toronto-based newspaper (Globe and Mail, TO Sun and TO Star) will be the places you'll want to check freqentuly for story updates.

NEWS FLASH: AZ Republic Reports NHL in Control of 'Yotes
A report out of Arizona cites that Glendale City Manager Ed Beasley claims the NHL is now in control of the Phoenix Coyotes.
Click here to read the story from the Arizona Republic.
If you think the Islanders lease with the Nassau Coliseum is bad -- and it's horrible -- the Coyotes might have it worse in some regards. They're in a gorgeous new building with a great surrounding area, but they owe the city a lot of money just to play there.

April 24, 2002 -- Shawn Bates
Today, seven years ago, the Islanders were enthralled in the playoff series with the Toronto Maple Leafs.
And Shawn Bates scores on a penalty shot against Curtis Joseph in a Game 4 win against the Toronto Maple Leafs at Nassau Coliseum. He became the second American-born player, and 13th overall, to score on a penalty shot in the playoffs and the first Islander to do so. The Islanders’ win evens the series at 2-2.
If Bates didn't score on that penalty shot, would that series still have as much meaning or be remembered so fondly?

Aucoin Recalls '02 Playoffs
In Ian Busby's story in the Calgary Sun, Adrian Aucoin recalled the 2002 playoff series between the Islanders and Maple Leafs.
There have not been too many playoff series like that one recently, in terms of physicality, scoring and the teams down right hating each other. And you still can't meet an Islanders fan who doesn't cringe when they hear the name Darcy Tucker.
And by the way, Aucoin was just as important to the revival of the Islanders back then as Michael Peca and Alexei Yashin and sometimes that is forgotten.

All 82
I accomplished a personal achievement this season. Traveling with the team, it was always a goal of mine to attend all 82 regular season games. In years past, there was always something that got in the way. It was either staying home and preparing for our home opener the next day, personal conflicts or even a few New York Dragons games.
But this year I made it and while some parts of this season were more challenging then others, I’ll remember being with the team every step of the way.
When taking our seven pre-season games into account, I attended 89 Islanders games this season. Two more Bridgeport playoff games at the Coliseum and at least one more Sound Tigers game tomorrow night at the Arena at Harbor Yard.
