A complete no show from the Daily News again while the Times had money to send a writer to Philadelphia for a meaningless Ranger game after not covering some road or home games.

Point Blank/Mr Botta: Recaps the Islanders season ending loss to Boston and does an excellent job pointing out how this team finished the season is inexcusable in his view.

NYI Fan Central Comments:
Reading some of the spin from Scott Gordon about practice time or lack thereof for me just does not cut it because all teams have the same issues. This team in April looked painfully bad at time and even got back Streit, Okposo and Bergenheim and it did not raise their collective play one bit.

Was the goaltending as good? No, but the teams play in front of the goalies was lacking for a lot of young players and some veterans fighting for jobs while teams like Atlanta played hard every night for John Anderson.
