they swept the season series (3-0-0-1). An accomplishment that honestly, probably means more to the fans than the players. What the Islanders lost in this game was not two points in the standings but could end up costing a whole lot more. With the playoffs due to begin on either Wednesday, April 13 or Thursday, April 14, Anders Lee took up his usual position in front of Rangers goaltender Henrik Lundqvist early in the first period. Johnny Boychuk wound up and rifled one of his howitzers towards…

Epic poem The Berwick Bruins are halfway through the season Sitting in third place behind the Wolfville Wolverines and the Kentville Kangaroos. The finals are coming fast and they need to be at least in second to make it. They’re only hope is their leading scorer, Jack Taylor.
