Just got back from ten days in PR. I saw the two wins over Miami and the victory over Portland. The crowd was great. Portland was tired but so well orgainzed they were hard to break down. It was what the Islanders needed before the playoffs. Now, if we can get one of our forwards "hot", I think we could go deep into the playoffs. Vamos La Tropa Naranja!!!!!
