Well folks, here it is, my inaugural totallypucked blog entry. This blog will give balanced, no-holds-barred views of the New York Islanders as well as other happenings around the National Hockey League, the best league and best game in the world. Here's a little bit about me. I am a rabid Islanders fan, having been sucked into the tractor beam of Nassau Coliseum from an early age, and living through all the financial/Charles Wang-driven/Mike Milbury-driven nonsense that this franchise has been through. Nonetheless, I love this team like coffee, and want nothing more than to see them flourish. While much of my content will be Islander-focused, I will also very much enjoy taking a bite out of the rest of the NHL!
