Faceoffs: On this road trip's first three games, the Islanders faceoff percentage has been 42%, 43%, and 45%. Ever since we were raving about their early-season dominance ... have other teams adjusted? Is it just that it's harder to get the video scouting and practice implementation on the road? Or something else?
Q&A at NESN: Elsewhere, NESN.com's Neil Keefe sought my answers to his questions about the Islanders. Check those out and, as always, give me hell if you disagree or have more to add.
In Net: Martin Biron [Actually: Dwayne Roloson. I can't keep track these days] stares the length of the ice at something known in Finland as a "Tuukka Rask," which can be solved with the application of topical ointment.
This is the official in-game thread. Now tap that keg and do it right. Let's-go Isl-an-ders.
