Three days in a row and counting, baby! Fear me!
OK...to save time, I'm simply going to direct you to the recap of the Islanders-Tampa Bay game from Monday, and ask you to replace "two goals in 7 minutes" with "Martin St. Louis scoring a short-handed goal 10 minutes into the game" and it's basically the same thing.
I will, however, discuss the pre-game events.
I took off from work, and met my uncle and Kyle (the guy I went with on Monday.) This time, my uncle drove, and since he's way too good for McDonald's, we went to a steakhouse in Roslyn or near there. Phenomenal food. Just amazing. Great steak, awesome crabmeat cocktail, and the fried potatoes were the best of the lot. But of course, being with my uncle, we had to eat in about 20 minutes, because my uncle...well...he's definitely got the family "late to everything" gene. Didn't matter that much, really...I eat fast anyway...but it would have been nice to pace myself a bit more and enjoy it more, because it was awesome.
So, we take off, traffic here, traffic there, and then...we get to the game, and get seated just as the nice lady finishes the National Anthem.
Timing is everything.
Oh, and I remembered to ask Kyle about his statue site. You should check them out...they are WAY cool. It's www.lotussculpture.com. And I'm not getting any kickbacks or anything. Just helping out a fellow hockey fan. Even if he roots for the losing home team.
