10:18 AM ET 02.09 | Lubomir Visnovsky had an idea what his reception from the fans at Nassau Coliseum for his Islanders debut might be like Saturday night. "Big win, big win!" Visnovsky said. "That's it." He was kidding around, but that little joke showed the 36-year-old defenseman is not coming to his new team with any sort of hesitation or closed-off approach. That will go a long way toward his blending into a locker room he was to have joined when the shortened season began nearly a month ago. But in January, Visnovsky declared his intention to stay in Slovakia to be close to his son, who will have an unspecified surgery in the next few days. After the KHL said Visnovsky could not stay and play for HC Slovan Bratislava, the team he joined during the lockout, he relented and finally arrived in the United States on Wednesday. He passed his physical Thursday and had his first practice with the Islanders on Friday. Visnovsky will make his debut Saturday night against the Sabres, according to two sources.

my gf is ecstatic. She lives in Ottawa and doesn't have RDS at her place, so she hasn't been able to catch any Habs games, apparantly even she (who watches like 3 games per season) has noticed that CBC only bought rights to the Leafs.
