Islanders Mini Bits: Frightful Five; Devon, the other Toews meat

Sorry to interrupt your Islanders-free Sunday, but here are some links worth reading. And another reminder that the BIG SALE on Lighthouse Hockey stuff at Gameday Depot is still going on today and tomorrow. So go forth and buy. Think of us and Al Arbour.

Look out for a new Islanders Anxiety possibly as early as this evening. Should be an uplifting experience.

Oh, and Jets-Patriots is on at 4:25 if, you know, you’re interested.
