08:22 AM ET 02.12 | These are already dark days on Long Island, where the Isles have lost five straight and stand at 4-7-1. We are less than one month into the 2013 season, and already dire words are coming from the Islanders' dressing room. "It feels weird to say the next game's a must-win," Travis Hamonic said after a bizarre 6-4 loss to the Hurricanes, the Isles' fifth straight defeat. "We've got to look at it that way. We have to make sure we stop this." The Isles lost the previous four games in no small part because of their power-play failures, going 0-for-22. They went 4-for-5 [Monday] night, putting pucks on net and diving for rebounds and deflections. But at even strength, the Islanders were a mess. ... "I have no comment on the goaltending," coach Jack Capuano said.

No worries BGD, last night on Sportscenter Darren Dutchyshen referred to Ben as "Scrvezina."
And you wonder why people dislike The Toronto Sports Network.

Agreed. PHA looked pretty anemic last night. What is going on there?

You must've been pleased with Bryzgalov's smiling after getting yanked, I presume?

"In Randy we Trust" is much better than "5 - 2"
Any chance that phrase will be put on the penny?

Bulimic would be a better adjective in my opinion but I would say the Flyers O has been streaky this season. While the change of scenary for Luke Schenn has seemed to be working there are more pieces to the puzzle missing on our blue line.
