Lighthouse Hockey, a New York Islanders community

Their announcers and analysts were going on and on about the total lack of effort and commitment from all but a very few players. Check out their SOG for the game. If hockey karma is working, we will jump over them in the lottery.

The Oil's win over the Hawks puts the Isles in the 27th slot or the #3 overall pick if the season ended tonight. If the Isles lose in regulation Wednesday and the Devils beat the Sabres in OT or a SO, the Isles will be #30 or in position for the #1 overall. On the other hand, they are currently only 5 points out of a playoff spot. What happens these next few weeks will determine where this team winds up this season.
