My old Long Island home..
It is also the most important game of the season for my beloved NY Islanders. If they win today, they make the playoffs. It's the last game of the season, do or die.
My stomach is a wreck, I'm so nervous. They are playing the dreaded NJ Devils, who hardly EVER lose.
Me and my Islanders go back a long, long way and seeing films of the days when I was present for all the games, games wherein they won 4 straight Stanley Cups, can reduce me a bucket of tears. I bleed blue and orange, have good luck charms, rituals, you name it. I know, I sound like a nutcase. When they lose in the playoffs I cry and go into hiding, when they win I jump on the furniture. I was present when they won their first Stanley Cup in mundo dramatic fashion, scored in OT at 7:11 by my favorite Islander of all time, I cried for a week, I was so happy.
So, today? Cancer, WHO has cancer? Not me, Im a diehard, live and breathe Islander fan today and I hope my boys come through for me. Gotta go get into ritual good luck gear, 2 hours to go..
LET'S GO ISLANDERS!
Oh......My.......God..
The most heart stopping, heart attack inducing game I have seen in a long LONG time..
8 tenths of a second. It was now 2-2..

Rick is nervously watching, If they win, his Leafs won't make the playoffs ! I've been hearing about it all week. Last night was a big game with Montreal. He has all the rituals too.
Good luck to you, I'm not a Leafs fan!
