In a spectacular 3-2 shootout win, the NY Islanders defeated the NJ Devils this afternoon. With that victory, the Islanders shattered Toronto's playoff hopes.
DylanAngel, why weren't your NJ Devils on top of their game?!?! They had a vested interest in eliminating NY without having to play a single playoff game. NJ despise NY. They should have done something with that. Why they didn't take advantage of that eludes me... It was a spectacular game though, I must admit.
Is there a bright side to this?... Yes there is. You are DAMN RIGHT THERE IS!
With the Leafs gone, this clears the way for our true heros... The Toronto Raptors!
Over the last 3 months, they have played spectacular basketball. There is nothing that can be said that would take anything away from what they've done. Period!
For the last month, they have the highest winning percentage in the eastern conference, even above Detroit, who are no shabby team by any means!
We started the season 2-8. Everyone, including the Toronto folks, wrote us off as done. Boy oh boy are they harsh! And, oh man, were they ever wrong!
On Friday night, with our win over Philadelphia and NJ's loss to the Bulls, we officially became the Atlantic Division Champions!!No one in their right minds would have ever even considered this a remote possibility. But we did it nonetheless..
And... we keep on winning! We just demolished the Bulls 103-89, after almost 15 straight loses! There isn't anything these kids can't do! I'm flying on adrenaline right now, as I have every right to be doing!
The playoffs are coming. God help anyone who underestimates our Toronto Raptors. Go Raptors go!!

I wasn't aware that you were an NYC transplant. I guess I get a much-deserved shelling for that one!! Again, sorry about that.
