Just like last year, let it once again echo through the hockey halls of New York...

"YOU CAN'T BEAT US!"

Let's Go Islanders!

I look at the Islanders roster and I say to myself... how does this team have a winning record? Can anyone explain it to me?

I know I can't. I along with everyone else expected absolutely zilch coming into the season, so the fast start has been a great surprise.

Whether it's luck or not, I don't know, but they do play a very steady, disciplined, smart brand of hockey and do what the talent allows them to do. And obviously DiPi has the ability to steal some wins here and there. Do I expect them to come back to earth? Probably. But as long as they stay out of the box, kill penalties when they are in it, and keep grinding, then maybe they can keep up with the low-scoring, 1 goal wins.
