#isles Simply put, this is how good teams win hockey games at home. Best home effort, complete game in uncounted years. Perfect night.

#isles Not sure of the nine home wins last year they had one easy stress free game. That very early cross-bar by Colorado was their moment.

#isles What a difference a healthy Visnovsky makes, has never been better in New York.

When everything comes together it's a lot of fun to watch. That was even better then we we saw in April 2013. All games are not all going to be like that obviously, and no illusions Colorado was struggling but they had a three goal comeback going into this game and the Islanders just outworked them in every area.
Despite the win they still need a first line left wing.
Ok, now we sit back for a while and see what Bailey's likely return and some very tough games bring.
Strome/Cizikas even Lee getting another goal is only going to help them relax. Halak needed a night like this at home badly.
No sign a week ago they were capable of any of this with so many things simply not working since day one of camp.
Chemistry is a funny thing, it happens sometimes out of nowhere, and it goes away sometimes just as quickly.
But now we know this is a team that can play that way, in a conference that screams it could take 97 points to earn a playoff spot.
