So the season ends badly for both teams. The Islanders never had a chance. The Rangers fell short in a series that easily could have been headed for seven games. As we tend to say in these parts, wait until next year.
As for this blog... well, it's been quite a run so far. We launched just as February ended so we could be live for the March home-and-home between the Isles and Rangers. Since then, we've gotten better, and it seems like it's working. We're nearing our 1000th visitor, which my calculator says means we're getting 500 visitors a month. Not bad at all. To those of us who found us through Zach's promotional efforts on the blogs of Sam Weinman and Steve Zipay, we hope you'll keep us in mind over the summer and as next season starts. And, to everyone else, thanks for coming by and checking us out.
The summer is a pretty dead time for hockey, but we've got some good stuff in store. First, there are two more rounds of playoff hockey, and we'll obviously be watching intently. Then, July 1 rings in free agency. Two months after that, training camps open. So, you see, it's really not all that bad. We'll be here the entire time. We might not know anything about the upcoming NHL Draft, but when the Islanders get spurned yet again in free agency, we'll be here to lament. We also have some other fun stuff in the hopper - reviews of classic games, book reports (we like to read about hockey), so on and so forth. It's going to be fun.
In the meantime, Ranger fans, take advantage of the weather and hit the driving range. You've got some catching up to do; us Islanders have been golfing for a month already.
