"If you say something enough times, someone will believe you." And after tonight's performance by the Islanders in Tampa Bay it is time now that you all say to one another, "Scotty may just be right, these guys are effing good."rnrn Not only will this team win the division they will be in contention for the President's trophy.. Have you truly watched this team? To all my fellow Islander brother and sisters who have been waiting, and somehow still believing enjoy this. We are here. This team is legit, this team is so well put together, this team is so deep, this, all this I expected to say and write at this time. However I truly thought the reason for our rise would be Josh Ho-Sang whom I predicted would be the Calder Trophy Rookie of the Year... And I'm still saying it.. However. We are where we are, and you are reading what you are reading right now because of Matty Barzal... How many periods of Islander hockey you have been able to catch this season are irrelevant. The next one you can, keep you eye on #13, as if you wouldn't notice him anyway.. Seriously? Holy Crap this kid!rnrn We went into St. Louis and Tampa in the last 10 days and just laced into both squads early, and won both going away... Best in the West, and the NHL in their houses, both times we were up 4-0 at some point in front of their fans... I am excited! Who's with me?rnrnThis is what we have waited for, wanted, and Lord knows deserve. We had a touch in '01-02 that was a good team. This is a great team. So I write this to us, because I really am in no shape to captain a podcast right now... I ask you to enjoy this time, we have turned the corner.rnrnThis team is sick, sure we can discuss where we are lacking, and what we need. I'm not saying we are perfect or gonna win the Cup. But we are finally right there... In Conclusion, enjoy this, enjoy every minute of this goodness. Soak it up, marinate in it. We are right there... #LTSITUSThank you, Scotty Bonner
