Bergenheim, MacDonald Injured
As if the injury bug couldn't hurt enough, the Islanders suffered two additional injuries during last nights 3-2 overtime loss in Toronto.
According to Greg Logan of Newsday, Bergenheim suffered a groin strain in the third period and goaltender Joey MacDonald suffered an undisclosed knee injury. Both players have been sent home for further examination and it appears Peter Mannino gets the call as backup. Nate Thompson and Richard Park are both on the trip - they may not even need to tap into the Bridge for reinforcements.
Some of us here at Lighthouse are sure to be jaded in our view of this, having spoken about this team's sudden resurgence and the real possibility of playing themselves out of that number one or number two pick come June. It seems that the Hockey Gods may have had a real plan in place for these Islanders after all.
This just got even more interesting.

Ugh.
I stomach it better when the veterans get injured.
But yeah … guess the Hockey Gods work in mysterious ways?

Only Kate Murray can stand in the way…

With Joey Mac out we might have to kneecap Yann b/c he’ll steal too many games for us. Let Pete Mannino and is .625 Save Pct. take over for the rest of the season. Otherwise get Dunny half-dressed in the weight room and then fake like you’re going to use a goalie coach two years after he’s retired from playing. Or you could stick some Web Guru from DC in the net and tie him to the posts a la Goldberg and sit back and enjoy the show.

That comment is filled with great ideas. Any of those options would work, really.
Next home game, suppose you swing by Snow’s box and slip him a little memo. (Make sure you use the right TPS cover sheet, or he’ll never get it).

As long as I don’t have to use that damned fax machine I think I can handle getting the right TPS coversheet over to Garth “The Bobs” Snow. LOL. Ummm…Yeah…I think I need you to come in on both Saturday and Sunday….Yeah….Ummm….Yeah……
