What a wild first period. Seven goals, one goalie pulled and two fights. Building is electric with the two local rivals and it is a one goal game heading to the last two periods. What a fun game to watch. Anyone who has the NHL package should check it out.
Tune into NYR vs. NYI

- Start date
At least the Islanders can't chant their favorite Rangers heckle...1940, 1940. I'll bet there will be a few Potvin sucks cheers tonight from the NYR faithful
I wish they'd pull Snow, 4 goals in 12 shots, where's Ossgood ??
Gonna have to get Direct TV for games like this Nick
Why would they chant Potvin sucks ?

In fact they just called up DiPietro because Osgood will be out for a while. DiPietro had a tough rookie year going about 3-14 but I think the kid has talent. I do think a full game of him vs. Blackburn would be about 9-8 if Blackburn played like he did tonight.

Centre Ice-
That cheer originated back when the Islanders were in their prime and Denis Potvin was their goalie. It was a pretty heated rivalry and the Rangers fan's had this cheer. A random fan will whistle a certain tune and the entire Garden will end it with "POTVIN SUCKS" . To this day you can still hear the cheer of "Potvin sucks!" rise to the rafters when Islanders are in the Garden. Even in random games when the Rangers aren't playing the Isles someone will whistle it and everyone will reply w/ a Potvin Sucks. May sound stupid but funny that something can last 20+ years like that.

Thanks Saint

Pretty great, wild ass fight if you ask me. Looked like Cummins was getting the better of him and they actually went to the gruond but before the refs could step in Barnaby leveraged himself back up and got in a few decent shots. They went back and forth for a short time and then Barnaby toppled him over and when they went down again the refs broke it up. At that poing even I had to get out of my living room chair the game was getting so good.
Uh, wow. What a game that was to watch. Glad you enjoyed it, Nick. Congrats. I do love Center Ice. My wife is not a big fan of it though.
