Slow Start - Perfect Ending

Wow! So the Islanders manage to come away with two points in regulation on a Kyle Okposo game winner, a Robbie Schremp home run goal and the dirty work of Jon Sim to start it off.

They haven't won in Colorado since 1999. This was an important win for the Islanders and an impressive game for Dwayne Roloson who made some spectacular saves and for at least 40 minutes seemed to be carrying the entire team.

Rick DiPietro sat on the bench chewing gum wildly and taking in all the action. Nate Thompson was back in action and for two seconds it looked as if they would lose Andy Sutton again.

With all the negative attention that Bruno Gervais has taken, I would just like to make note that he played well tonight with the exception of the miscue with Roloson on the side of the net.

This was the last game until March that Jiggs McDonald will call. It was great to have him on the broadcast.

Travel safe boys as you head to Dallas where at least it should be a little warmer.
