Isles Win Again, Okposo Keeps Scoring
February 1st, 2009 by Tom
Three wins in a row and Kyle Okposo has goals in four straight games. Now that’s some good news on a Super Bowl Sunday morning.
The Isles downed the Panthers 3-1 last night. Comrie, Guerin and Okposo each tallied for the Isles. Yann Danis set the tone with 37 saves.
The Isles are playing well. Maybe well enough to lose out on Tavares. That said, it’s great to see Okposo progressing like this. He has 10 goals and 8 assists on the season, but half of those goals have come in the last four games. Eight have come in the last 15 games. It’s too short a sample to get crazy revved up about but Isles fans have to like what they see. Keep it up, Kyle.
Vancouver Islander Says
Break up the Islanders! Actually, that will happen to some extent.
While the current streak is a true testament to the coach, veteran leadership, youthful enthusiasm and some terrific goaltending from whoever (DiPietro excluded) who’s been between the NYI pipes this season, Garth has a chance to transform a veteran asset or two into some future from somebody else’s roster.
Let’s snag Tavares and be up-and-coming holy terrors in three years. We’ve waited this long — we can wait a little longer, eh?
