My Favorite Islanders Game - I Felt Like I Belonged

More Islanders fans call in to share the stories of their favorite games from over the years. In this episode: Historic hat tricks, family finding and beating the clock (and the Penguins).

Tales include sitting among actual Islanders at an exhibition game, seeing - and dreading - an NHL debut and one fan finally visiting his happy place after years of rooting from away and afar.
